My Dad and Grandma

I've been meaning to blog about my dad and Grandma's visit for the past couple of days, but we've been super busy potty training Sami. And I can say that we have success in that area! Sami is pretty much potty trained and we are thrilled! It's like we get a raise. Now I only have to buy diapers for one, Yee-haw!!

But back to my family's visit. It was so nice to have them here. It was kind of weird to see how much my Grandma had aged (she doesn't read this blog, so I can say that). She used to always go, go, go and wasn't afraid of anything. Now she is tired and most things scare her. She hates getting old, and I don't blame her. I am glad she made the trek to see us but she said she wouldn't be back for awhile because traveling is too hard for her now. But I'm so glad that she came now. I'm so glad that she got to play with my girlies and that I got to visit with her and learn more about her amazing life.

But my dad was full of energy and loved playing with his grand babies and they loved it too. So did I. I got lots of mommy breaks :). My mom and dad are talking about moving down here and I hope they do! It would be a dream come true to live by them.
He also tried to teach Sami how to ride her new trike, a gift from Suzanne and Colby. The trike is still a little big for Sami girl, but she loved her Grandpa pushing her around.

One of our favorite things to do with my Grandma was play Rock Band. She wanted to master it while she was here, and she did really well. She would get so nervous about missing the notes, but I thought it was amazing to see her determination. I love these rockers!
