Dinner with Grandma and Grandpa

Today was a simple, but good day. Brian let me sleep in until which was nice. We spent the rest of the morning/early afternoon hanging out at home. After the kids woke up from a nap, we went over to my parents' house to hang out and eat dinner. Macie was a little wild, but overall we had a good visit. We left right after dinner and the kids were asleep by 6. Notice the trend? The kids are wearing themselves out lately!

This morning, the kids were taking turns feeding each other. Macie's play is becoming more and more elaborate and she includes Gavin whenever possible!

Love this picture, even though it's fuzzy

Brian put Gavin's hair in a pony tail...poor guy:(

I know that he needs a hair cut, but I'm not ready to lose those curls!

A Christmas Present in September?!?

After the kids attempted to finish their naps (and I took a nap), we stopped by my parents' house for a quick visit. We wanted to tell my dad that he was getting an early Christmas present. Allie and I went in on tickets to see Bob Knight. My dad has idolized "The General" for as long as I can remember. He is coming to town in two weeks, so we thought it would be awesome to send him. We gave dad two tickets and told him he could take anyone he wanted. The only stipulation was that he couldn't take Brian. Brian has never been a Bobby fan and it just wouldn't be right! I'm excited for my dad and I can't wait to hear how it is!

Grammie, Pops, and Uncle John

This morning, we headed to Sturgis for a visit. Macie was SUPER pumped all week about this visit. Not only was she going to see Grammie and Pops, but she was also going to see Uncle John. Now that he is back in school, we don't see him very often. The kids had a great visit and were pretty good. Brian and I even shopped at a yard sale across the street. Grammie had already gone earlier in the morning. We came home with a trash bag full of clothes! We stayed through lunch and then headed home so the kids could nap. They both fell asleep in the car fairly quickly, but neither one took a good nap. It made for a long afternoon and an early bedtime!
