Grandparents

This weekend we went to North Augusta to spend time with Ben's parents and go to Athens to help Laura move. We went Friday night and got up early Saturday morning. I especially got up early and did some hill repeats at 5 am with not Butter, but Charlie. I was mad at first that he followed me, but I was actually really glad he came, because I was really scared since it was still soooo dark. Anyway we ventured to Athens for the day to help Laura move everything from her storage shed back to their house. After three truck loads full and a full garage our job was done. The girls and Mason stayed with Ms. Riddle and played. The girls always enjoying spending time with Baby Mason, even though as ME would say, "Mommy why doesn't Baby Mason talk". But they still love poking him and watching him in his jumping thing.

We headed back to Ben's parents and just went straight back into playing with the girls. We were all tired, but that's what happens when you have small children running around. This weekend just really made me realize how much I love spending time with Ben's parents. They are so easy to get along with and never have a bad thing to say about anyone. They don't judge or make rude comments about anything. They actually enjoy spending time with the girls. They are very helpful, but they enjoy helping so that just makes Ben and I even happier. When we go to his parents it’s really the only time we get to spend some time together. Just Ben and I went out for a bike ride on Sunday morning, and it was a hilly hard bike ride for me, but it was just really nice to spend time with him. We came back and poor Mr. Riddle, hurt his foot really bad on Friday, was in the baby pool with both ME and Grayson just having a blast!!!! Ms. Riddle watched all three children for most of the day Saturday, while we moved, and I didn't hear her complain once. In fact, she had a great time spending time with the grandkids. It just really makes me look up to them, and know that's how I want Ben and me to be when the girls have kids of their own. I want us to be a big part of their life and for them to get excited and want to come and see us.

We trapped the girls in the dog cage when we got home from Athens!!! We at least provided popsicles.




I just had to get a picture of all of Grayson's curls!!!
