Grandma and Grandpa's visit

My parents finally came to out to see us and meet Jacob! We had such a fun visit with them. They were in Knoxville 3 1/2 days, and we spent our time playing lots of games, eating good food, and enjoying each other's company. They'll be moving to Utah very soon, making them a 3 days' drive away instead of just 1, and our visits will get fewer and farther between. It was great to have this time before that happens. And now for too many pictures...

My dad got a couple of belated birthday/early Father's Day gifts

Not really related to their visit, but I just happened to get a couple of great pictures of the boys while they were visiting. I love this one!

finally a real smile picture! yay! I love these toothless grins :)

Olive Garden

Jamie was cold in the restaurant and asked me, "How do I get warm?" I put a couple napkins on his lap and then he requested more in increasingly silly places.

We went to Anchor Park, which is probably Jamie's favorite park but we don't go often because it's a bit of a drive and we have a fantastic park just a few minutes away. We had such a great time. The weather was perfect and there's so much fun stuff there.

 
 

Jamie had a lot of fun feeding these ducks Ritz crackers.

The best thing about Anchor Park just might be that it's right smack next to some train tracks.

more stories!

more games!

ha ha ha, I love Cranium.

This was a pirate ship, I believe...

Jamie inherited the game-loving gene.

I love this picture.
