Busy Weekend!

This last weekend we did alot of traveling and visiting family. Friday we drove to Grand Junction, CO to meet Pa and Grama Ekker (my grandparents). I was having shopping withdrawls and decided that it would be a great idea to meet Pa & Grama for a visit and squeeze some shopping in. So we loaded the kids up and drove 2 1/2 hrs to CO. Madi was so excited to see Pa & Grama. She already knows that she has them wrapped around her little finger. While walking through the mall Madi yelled "Stop Pa!" Pa turned around and she had stopped to look and some jewelry. Pa said "ah you don't need any of that, all you need is a cowgirl hat and rope." Madi replied back "and some cowgirl boots Pa!" So off we went to the "Cowgirl Store" to buy her a cowgirl hat and boots. Madi did all the picking herself and there was no talking her out of what she wanted. I have to admit, she makes a pretty cute cowgirl. We finished the day with lunch and headed back home. It was great to spend the day with my grandparents and great to see my kids have a close relationship with them and make memories to cherish.

Saturday the kids and I loaded up again and went to Wyoming to Matt's sisters house for cousin Avery's birthday party. Matt had to work so just the kids and I got to "enjoy" the drive. The kids do pretty well in the car but I think that I am pushing my luck with Madi because is seems she is getting less and less patient with it. We had a great afternoon in Rock Springs visiting with Matt's family. Madi and Avery had a blast playing with all the new toys and jumping in the swimming pool with there clothes on. They played so hard that they tired themselves out. I put the kids in their pj's and had a nice quite ride home :)
