Grandpa and Grandma Come to Town!

Grandpa and Grandma came for a visit this week. It's Spring Break in Houston and the kids are out of school! Our Spring weather could not be more beautiful. The trees and flowers are in bloom and the skies are blue. Simply perfect for two who needed an escape from the cold and snowy Wasatch Front.

Grandpa arrived eager and ready to help with a few minor remodeling projects (painting rooms and installing fans), Grandma came prepared with a suitcase full of Easter surprises for our egg hunt in the backyard. She generously filled 87 eggs for the children!

This week we enjoyed: a visit to the Butterfly Museum, a trip to the movies (Horton Hears a Who), Breakfast at IHOP, Dinners out, playing in the backyard, relaxing and having a great time with wonderful company. It was quite difficult this morning to bid farewell to our loving grandparents. It's a good thing Summer and a trip to Utah is just around the corner. We love you G & G!

Nathan as George

Nathan's second grade class presented a Wax Museam at the elementary school this morning. For the past month they have studied important historical figures. The students were given the opportunity to research and write about a person of their choice. Nathan chose George Washington. We have learned a lot about our great founding father as we have checked out books from the library. Nathan proudly wore a costume this morning in honor of President Washington. He was all smiles as he presented a report written by himself, to parents and family members of the second graders. Way to go Nathan!
