Busy! Busy!! Busy!!!

Well this last week has been Crazy busy, but so much fun. On Monday my parents were able to make a quick trip up to see us. I was so excited for a couple of reasons (1) because I know that when my parents come in town I will get a break from the monatony of being a stay at home mom (2) all the "projects" that I have waiting for me to do will get done in no time and (3) I love their company and our conversations!!! For those of you that know my parents you know that they work at a pace that I am sure no one else can. I knew that we would be really busy when they came so that is why when they got here I had to remember to bust out the camera or we would never remember to get any pictures.Here is Grandma Hammons reading books to the girls while feeding Libby. My girls absolutely adore their Grandma and how much time she spends playing with them. I have never met a more hands on Grandma!
Libby has a new thing where she likes to eat with no one holding her, but she won't hold her own bottle??? O'well Grandma loved spending time with her no matter what.


This is how excited Shelby was to have them leave! (she also refused to get dressed for the picture)


Grandma & Grandpa can always get her to laugh! Libby loves their new flower toys look how interested she is.

Here are some of the Many projects that we got done. I made all these bows and then we covered the little tiny book of Mormons with paper and put a flower on it. Way cute and fun!Some changing pads for my Friend who is having a little boy soon. This has been on my to do list Forever!

My pantry shelfs which I couldn't be happier about. They are selling these organizers at Costco right now and I am so glad that I had my parents to help me with it. My Pops and I customized it to the cans that I use and so I have a spot for all our "normal" items. LOVE IT, thanks pops!


These are just the projects that I have pictures of I also got help with Oil changes, new air filters in our house (we have custom-hard to find sizes), hanging pictures on the wall in Libby's room (pictures to come), lunch with Jon almost every day, grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, and probably many more that I can't think of right now. I was so sad to see my parents leave because I never know when the next time that I see them will be. I also know that even the 3 months they lived with us this summer still wasn't long enough so I am convinced that no matter how long they stay I won't want them to go. Thanks again for all your help and company, we sure love and miss having you close by. O'ya when they left Shelby says "mom, I not want to stay here I want to go to George with Grama and papa" I guess we will have to fly down soon!

Well my parents left on Friday morning and then that night Jon's family came into town. It was Grandma and Grandpa Scott, Aunt Jessica, Uncle Tyson, and Aunt MaKall (not sure if I spelled that right) I kinda forgot about taking pictures until they were leaving and Shelby was down for a nap so she is MIA in all the pics. It was a short trip but it was good to see everyone. Grandpa and Uncle T got the winch put on Jon's 4 wheeler while he was a work and Jon was so happy that it finally got done and so was I so now Jon can clean up the garage that has been driving his OCD wife crazy for the last couple of months. The kids had a blast hanging out with everyone and Shelby had plenty of people who would read library books to her.

Libby was having so much fun when Grandpa was throwing her in the air she forgot it was nap time and just kept on laughing!

We love having so many visitors and are glad that we finally have a house that can accomadate so many people. Even though it has been a crazy week it has been a good one.

Sometimes it is nice to be busy especially when there are fun people to be busy with. Sounds like you have had fun. I love all the cute new pics. Your girls are so cute. I love that can organizer, I might have to talk Gary into buying one for our pantry too. Hope you are all doing well.

I am so jealous of that can organizer. I have wanted one so bad forever. I hate the big huge mess that I constantly have in my pantry. Maybe when I grow up one day we can afford one! I can't believe how big your girls are getting. They are so beautiful. So we kind of have tenatively planned to go back to St. George to set up Cody's practice. Among all of the good things about moving back there is that we will be able to see the Scott family every now and then when they come to visit family!

Liz Prisbrey said...

Can your parents come to my house next?? There is so much I need to get done and they seem like just the right motivation! :-) I love all the projects! They are way cute. I was just thinking that Claire has either destroyed or lost all of her cute hair clips and it was time to make more.

Haley said...

SO fun! The kids were so jealous about these pictures because they want their Shelby to come visit! Soon please...
And how fun to get all those little projects completed. Those can organizers are so pretty to look at.

I can't believe how big your girls are getting! Is that organizer called Shelf Reliance? I want one sooo bad! My pantry is always a dissaster because my little monkeys climb up the shelves. Glad you are so happy with it! I think we are going to St. George in a couple weekends, maybe you can meet us?! And we can do a long run together. ;) (I can hardly walk today!)
