Melissa and Chelsea's Visit to California

So Melissa and Chelsea drove back from St. George with us to spend some time in California. Of course the time went WAY to fast. I so enjoy having them down to visit. We got to spend some fun time in the pool. I bought Chelsea a little Ladybug float for her to chill in. So we sat in the spa one evening. Chelsea wasn't sure at first about the water but after that she was splashing like crazy. Jaylee and Patrick came out to visit too. Even Shooter came to visit Chelsea. I love being a grandma.

Quick Stop -- Peggy Sue's Dinner

Driving on our way home from St. George we stopped off at this cute dinner called "Peggy Sue's. It has all kinds of fun collector items there. When we stopped, we go to take Chelsea out of the car seat and she was soaked. She had peed all through her clothes and all over everything. I picked her up and I was covered in pee. So first things first... we take her in the bathroom and changed her diaper and clothes. Then we sat for a bite to eat. The food isn't that terrific but it is a fun place. Oh they do have great shakes!! In the lobby is a huge statue of Betty Boop so I wanted to get a picture of Chelsea with Betty. Melissa and I were twinners. Like mom, like daughter. We were glad when our diapers were dry and our tummys full. BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN.

Lunch at Olive Garden

Yummy... The Olive Garden

After we left the Temple we went for lunch at the Olive Garden. It was a long wait but it was worth it. Jeff was practicing how to use the baby carrier so when they have their baby he will know how to work it. Greg likes hanging with his niece. We had a great lunch but I was sad to leave everyone. Everyone had to take off for home right after since we all had looooong drives back home.

A Parent's Pay Day

I'm love to see the temple...

I'm going there someday.

A Special Day for Greg

On April 18th 2009 we had the privlidge of going through the St. George Temple with Greg. It was a very special day for us as parents because we had most of our children in the temple. Melissa and Brad came down from Utah and Jeff and Mandy came out from Arizona. Greg was so prepared. His dad was his escort through the temple. As soon as I walked into the chapel where Greg and Steve where sitting I started to cry. There was another mother with their son going through and she was crying too. It was so awesome to all meet in the celestrial room after the session. To me that is what Heaven will be like. That is Eternal families. As you see each of your children with their families and the chain just keeps on growing. I am grateful for the opportunity I had to be part of this special day and to have my children there as well.
