A weekend at Grandma's






Last weekend the kid's and I went with my parents and uncle to visit my Grandma in St. George. They wanted to go down to spend some time with her because she just had some heart surgery the week before. It was a nice weekend, the first day we went and helped her move some stuff and clean a bit but let me tell you for 90 years old her little home is spotless. My kid's always remember their Great-Grandma by the "picture" wall when you walk in her house (I know all of us love that wall) it has just a ton of pictures of every grandkid, great-grandkids & my Mom's siblings, there is just something that is mesmerizing about it. Kalli wanted me to take a picture of the "picture" wall but I left my camera in the car the last day so maybe next time. My Uncle Randy was telling us all kinds of stories about my Grandma and her life, if you think about it she is 90 and has lived through giving birth in your own home, to washing your clothes by hand to know seeing the world so high tech. I am so happy that my kid's have gotten to meet and know both of the Great Grandma's they are such great ladies and wonderful examples of how to live your life, we miss my Grandma Romano everyday.
It was beautiful down there we took the kid's swimming and yes one morning we were out at 9:30 a.m. and it was sunny and warm! Who knows maybe one day we will feel the warmth of the sun again? One night my Dad decided to have a huge (one-sided) water fight with the kid's in MY hotel room but somehow it got turned on me and my Mom let's just say there was water everywhere but the kid's thought that was the funnest night. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us tag along we had a blast!

St. George and Disney looked like fun. You are quite the vacationer lately. I'm jealous! Tell Jett to smile next time you take a picture. :)

And you went to St. George...you little traveler you. Your grandma seems like a great lady. I could go to St. George once a month and soak up the warmth they have.
