One great week!

Last Sunday, I was getting ready for church and Camden came running in yelling " GRANDMA". I was confused.. Sure enough my mom suprised us and came for a visit. It was the best suprise anyone has pulled off on me. Blades said he was going to do his home teaching. He had gotten dressed and everything and said he would be back in an hour.. he came home with my mom.. I was so happy I cried. The holidays were difficult without having family close by. A few days before New Years, the kids had worn on me and I had a bad day.. Crying to my mom explaining that my kids are out of control, hitting, slapping.. and I was balling. ( I need to remember that more often.. and my mom would come )

Some fun things we did this week included:

getting the boys new baseballs and bats.. playing baseball at the park

visiting Kyndal's grave

chuckie cheese

arizona science center

shopping for Case's new shoes

shopping for new clothes for me

going to lunch .. just her and I.. Olive Garden yum!

making and eating every treat we could think of

playing legos

movie nights

lots of buttered popcorn

I cannot begin to describe how much fun we had and how much it meant for her to come visit. She has taken Kyndal's death probably the hardest in our family. She said this was the first time she felt happy in along time. I was so glad, because it brought our family so much joy to have her here for the week. Her and I put away Kyndal's clothes and other baby items. I will write more about that later on Kyndal's blog, but I am so glad that she was here to do that with me. I had friends offer to help, but I wouldnt of wanted to share that with anyone but my mom.

I am teaching for the first time today in Young Women's. Wish me luck !!

A great SUPRISE

Blades went home teaching on Sunday morning and brought back my mom. He went and picked her up from the airport. I had NO clue she was coming. I was in getting ready for church and had asked to boys to go and finish their lunch. Camden comes running in yelling Grandma.. I was like what?? It was a wonderful suprise. I even cried. I have been missing my mom and so glad she is here for a week :).. So i guess the Christmas blogging will have to wait for another day !!!
