My Mom is the Best...

So mom came and went, and we had a wonderful time! Even though her visit was short, we packed it full of fun!!!

Grady was super excited for his Mimi to come and I'm sure Cole was too... Mimi gives the best cuddles and gets on the floor and plays... She is the very best!

Mimi also loves flowers so off to the Dallas Arboretum we went! Cole did a lot of sleeping but woke up for a meal and some very cute smiles! It was cloudy but we had the best time...

Mimi let Grady take pictures with her camera in return for smiles in her pictures...

At the Little Mermaid House

Always happy to help...and he accepts help from Mimi but nobody else!

He kept arguing... "These are orange Mommy, not pink!"

Lunch break... yum!

Silly faces!

Running in the fountain and shoes wet... oh well, you only live once!

Cole looks amazed or surprised by something...?

Sweet, happy boy!

Beautiful bougainvilleas

Smelling the magnolias

It was a rainy day Friday so I thought it would be a great idea to head to Legoland.... Boy was I wrong! We had never been before and I was pretty sure you paid a little money and got to play with legos... Not so much! I should have done a little research because we discovered as we were in line that it is an amusement park, with amusement park prices... I had promised Grady we would go but had no idea we would be spending $75 just to enter. I just couldn't break a promise to my boy so I bent the truth, just a little. I told him we were in the wrong place and then took him to the Lego store instead and we bought him a $20 Lego set instead! Gosh, I can't believe we got off that easy. Anyway, he had fun just looking at all the Lego sets! One day we will venture there, but only for a very special occasion!

We also got a special visit from my cousin Sarah on Friday night. She is a very talented local artist and the sweetest person! (sarahwilliams-paintings.com) I love having some family close by...

Cole's face here is hysterical... he is not in pain! 

...Love you Sarah!

Well, after lots and lots of playing, good food, and fun we had to say goodbye... We love you Mimi and can't wait to see you again soon!
