And We Had Visitors

Our family keeps growing. The most recent addition is our new cousin, the super adorable Baby Blue. Since he is amazingly cute and cuddly and everything a  baby should be, some certain someones came to meet him in person, Grandma and Grandpa!

We put Grandpa to work right away! Three hard working men.

Grandma taught me a new skill without even realizing it. In my Physical Therapy, we have been practicing catching a ball, but that is tough. But for Grandma I took the challenge and just did it. That is what Grandma's are for.

Found out that playing catch with our pear tree, not such a good idea.

I then tried to share the excitement of ball catching with Luke, but decided we will wait a few years.

And then I ran off kicking  my ball into the bulrushes. I am pretty sure these aren't really bulrushes, but Mommy thinks that sounds a whole lot better than garden full of overgrown weeds because she is too lazy to pick them. We do our best to keep her happy.

The other Thornton clan came over bringing the famous boy, Blue. And to celebrate the occasion Tammy made the yummiest cupcakes and I helped her put blue sprinkles on in honor of Blue.

Later we snuck over to Grandpa and Grandma's hotel and went swimming with them!

And to show the world that I am not like my mother, I have a picture of me in the pool with Toby! I may have only let my feet get wet, but that was more than Mommy did.

We are so grateful Blue is now home, healthy and happy, and we loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. What a fabulous weekend!

Do you guys have two lawn mowers so you can rope your visitors into yard work? Hmmm, I'm seeing new possibilities for when our home teachers come over.
