A few days with Pa & Ma

Mommy and the kids headed to Colo. Springs.We had 1/4 of a cow in that Pa & Ma were holding in their freezer for us. And since Braden had a few days off school and Daddy needed to head to CA, we stayed for a few days. It was fun to have a few relaxing days and spend some time with them. It was a fun couple of days.

Pa & Lila enjoyed some snuggle time.

Ma & the boys enjoyed making tater-tot casserole together. It is a food with many great memories attached for me – my adopted grandmother used to make it for us growing up.

 

Lila was proud to show off her sitting up skills.  And her favorite “squishy face”.  She is quite the camera ham. 

Dylon loves his baby sister.  He is always trying to “help” her.  This time, he decided she needed her corn teether to vibrate (you have to squeeze the end).  So, he pushed down on the end while he held it in her mouth.  Lila was very tolerant and actually seemed to appreciate his efforts. 

She finally had enough and decided to take the teether into her own hands.  She is getting more and more independent.  I love this picture … and that tongue!  She seriously has the tongue of a giraffe! 

Ma had the whole day off work because of the cold weather.  It was an unexpected surprise and we enjoyed the extra time with her.

Ma & Lila got their own snuggles in too.  Lila loves to “pose” for the camera – I only wish her expressions weren’t quite so funny lookin!  But I do love this little girl!  

Before bed, Pa built us a fire and we roasted marshmallows inside. Oh, the fun things you get to do at the grandparent’s house!

The boys LOVED the smores! Sticky, gooey, warm, sugar before bed – who wouldn’t love it!

Braden looks like such a BIG boy lounging on the pillows like this!

 

We finally had to cut Dylon off - he had about 8 marshmallows and 2 smores -- and still wanted MORE!
