Grandma and Grandpa Came Over

Jeff's mom and dad came over to visit...they used the excuse that they were bringing some of our baby essentials from storage in AZ, but really they were coming to spoil Max and get their baseball fix respectively.

I can't tell you much about what Jeff and Grandpa did...they were a two-headed scouting mastermind, I'm sure, and I'll betcha that the Dbax will be calling good ole' Bean for some part-time scouting advice after this weekend...but they were gone from dawn til dusk at ballgames galore. Glad you had fun...meanwhile, Grandma, Max and I had our own idea of fun. We were so busy we didn't even break out Max's truck box once...and I know Grandma was planning on seeing her long-lost friend!Max got spoiled with some freaking cool pull-back trucks that light up...and I got spoiled...Cheryl made me this black bench that is made from Jeff's old crib...the back is the headboard, and the sides are one of the side rails...the only thing non-crib is the seat. Holy I love it.... She gave my other sister in-laws each one before I was inducted into the Mousser Family, and I've always coveted them...I can't tell you how much I LOVE my bench!!!After the spoiling...Jeff and Dean took off, and Grandma, Max and I went to Disneyland...my friends will be sad that...I got lost on the way there. I didn't have my usual navigator in my passenger seat...(kristy, maybe I'm not ready for Ivy to come after all!)

Anyways, we made it, just took a little longer than it should've and we went on all of Max's favorite rides...

Teacups...Buzz Lightyear...in which he got his most coveted toy in the whole park!...Pun-do!!!

(or Dumbo, whichever you prefer)Small World...and of course Pirates...

We had such a fun day and it was soooo nice to not have to corral Max by myself. Max loves his Grandma, and unfortunately for her...but I'm sure she was thrilled...he didn't want me to hold him (phew!) he wanted Grandma to hold him in every line. Yeah for me!On Saturday, Jeff and Dean took off again before 8AM for a full day of games (that probably sounds boring to everyone except Jeff and Dean...I think these two days ranked 1st in his top five...this couldn't have been a more fun vacation for him)...again, glad he had fun!!! The girls and Max were busy!!!

We took Grandma to a place that we've never been before in Costa Mesa. Our neighbor, Andy, flies model airplanes there, and I asked him for a map...I thought Max would LOVE to watch all the old guys playing with their mini-planes...

Grandma and Max watched while I parked the car...

It was such a beautiful day!

We got up close and personal and asked the guys how it all worked. It's actually pretty cool to watch!
I even got to fly one....holy crap, that old guy was brave...I can't even drive to Disneyland, let alone fly a freaking $1000.00 plane...
Max thought the rocks and dirt and sticks were cooler...but it was a totally cool place to go...We'll for sure go again!
After the model airplanes, we high-tailed it to our favorite eating joint: Taco Bell, grabbed us a few 'little donkeys' (bean burros) and took Grandma to our amazing park for a picnic.

Grandma's the best swing pusher...
bottoms up!
Max's way of swinging by himself: supermans! (Daddy taught him that)
We love Promenade Park! After the park we went home, Max had a nap and Cheryl and I fiddled around and then headed out to the beach.
This is Max signing 'Helicopter'...we love to watch the choppers go by when we're at the beach...it's pretty much constant.
and Grandma took him in the water...which mommy doesn't really do, but he loved it! Grandma even got her pants wet for moo....so fun!

Grandma also read to Max before nap and bedtime while she was here...which was a special treat for Max. She brought him some of Jeff's old Disney books from olden times. So fun!

We had such a fun weekend...March is going to stink!
