Jared and Luke stay with Grandma & Grandpa

One of the most fun (and most tiring) things we have done for a long time was having Jared and Luke come to stay with us for 10 days while their parents went on a trip to Brandon & Sara's house. Grandpa took vacation from work to stay home during the day and then Grandma took over at night. It's been a long time since we have had little kids in the house without their parents to run for them. We really enjoyed having them here, but we are also glad we could get them back to Kate and Dave safely.



Dave, I'm sure you will love this one. Luke loved
this crown that was brought in your toys, so I had
to have a picture of this. He also spent a fair amount
of time in the laundry basket while he was here.



My Jared, always ready with a big smile for
the camera.


Luke found this silly pillow and walked around
for a whole day using it as a life jacket.


Almost every time I would tell them to smile,
Jared would pull a face. I finally just took the
picture without correcting him.

The first night the boys were here alone with Grandpa & Grandma, Luke had been in bed about 10 times and kept coming out to the living room. I finally picked him up and made him sit on my lap with me (even though he threw a royal tantrum). He finally stopped fighting and turned around, pointed his finger at me, and said "No, No, Grandma". Well, what could I do (besides laugh). I put him down, he drug his blanket into his bed, whimpered a few times, and went to sleep. What a kid!


Grandpa, Jared, and Luke became great friends playing
the Wii during the day. Jared is quite the bowler and boxer.
Luke is so cute when you tell him to BOX!

We loved having these boys here with us and invite any other grandkids to come stay too. Of course, you will need to bring your parents with you. JK

Wow you guys are brave! It looks like you handled them really well! I bet Kate and Dave really appreciated knowing that they were having fun and soaking up some one on one with Grandma and Grandpa. They sure are a couple of cuties! =)

What a brave Grandma & Grandpa! More than a week with 2 rambunctious little boys...surely you were having flashbacks to the days of Matt & Shane, right? Looks like you're doing well in the sunny south. It's starting to get warmer here--that is until it snows again...come visit again soon!
