a weekend with G&G

Jeffs parents got to come visit us this weekend!
They got here on Friday afternoon and left after church on Sunday.
Just a quick trip, but we LOVE to have them come visit us! We had such a fun time.
Saturday morning, we got up early and took Grandma to our favorite donut shop (Adams' Ave Donuts) to look at the old cars. Grandma taught us about fender skirts (so cool) and we even saw one that looked like a shark!
Of course, we enjoyed our donuts, too...sigh. They are so good!
Then we drove to the recycling center to cash in the load of cans and bottles that Grandpa's work has been saving for us...umm, yeah... $25.77...LOVE that!
After we helped save the planet, we did a drive-by to see the cute shop where my headbands live: it wasn't open when we were there, but I got to peek inside, and it is a CUTE little store!
Then...Lucky us, BYU baseball was playing UCR (University of California, Riverside...I think). Jeff played for BYU back in the day, so it was fun to see his old coaches, and his old team. They didn't do so great (dang!).
Ivy's first baseball game {woo hoo!}
I made her some BYU bows just for the occasion {hee hee}
Jeff had some business to attend to while we were there...you know, official scout business, so he showed Max how to work the radar gun, etc...{Max is wearing the bright green sweatshirt with the hood on}
Grandma and the kids and I didn't stay for the whole game, we made a stop at Goodwill, my MIL's new obsession, and found some really fun things to tear apart, and then we took her to M&L fabrics...oh my...too bad we had the stroller, or we wouldn't have come our for hours! Grandma treated us to a bunch of fun new fabrics!
Dinner at Sizzler topped us off, and then Grandma played trucks with Max until way past his bedtime, but that was Max's favorite part!
This is the baby Cheryl crocheted for Ivy...umm, she grabbed her and kissed her as soon as she saw her. She even has a little crocheted diaper that comes off...oh my.
Thanks for coming, guys! We miss you already and can't wait to see you in April for Ivy's birthday
