Weekend with Grandma

Well Hunter has been talking about Grandma Tobar coming to visit him for the last two weeks. Every morning he would wake up and we would have to discuss the schedule of what he and Grandma were going to do when she came. We tried to remind him that she would only be here for three days and that we couldn't do everything. Yet he was determined to pack his weekend with his Grandma as full as he could with activities. We picked mom and the girls up at the airport on Thursday which was crazy since it is spring break time and almost everyone in Phoenix was at the airport that day. Add onto the adventure with lost luggage, a hungry baby, and a three year old that has gone in circles around the airport for a half hour and is getting bored you have quite the airport trip. Not to mention running into one of MeKell's close friends from High School that she hasn't seen in about five years.
We then met Grandma Herring at Sweet Tomato and enjoyed a delicious dinner, said good-bye to the girls and headed for Prescott Valley. We kept the weekend busy with a park trip(followed by an ice cream run), family history work, baking peanut butter cookie batches, playing games, looking at scrapbooks and showing mom how to organize her pictures on the computer, dancing to the "Cars" soundtrack, relaxing, staying up late talking, walking through some of Deke's houses, planning a jean quilt, going to Flagstaff to visit Brittany, meeting GG and Papa at a park, an Easter egg hunt,
and a lot of other fun activities. Hunter and Eden played so much and really enjoyed one another's company. It was so cute to watch the way that they interacted with each other this visit. Grandma and Hunter got to have a lot of fun one on one time playing or reading which just made Hunter's week. Mom and MeKell actually had time to visit and work on projects when all three kids were napping which was great. We went to church this morning and it was so nice to be able to have mom meet all of our friends in our ward and for us to go to Relief Society together. We all did good until we drove away after putting her on the shuttle and Hunter said, "Mommy, Grandma is just going to follow us home to our house in that van." When we reminded him that she was going home to San Diego then the tears came first from Hunter, then from Mommy. It never is long enough, and it seems so long in between visits but we are sure grateful and enjoy it so much whenever Grandma gets to come!!!!!
