To Grammy's house we go!!

The kids and I headed to Santa Maria this past week to visit with Grammy. We arrived on Monday and left Friday morning, and managed to fit a whole lotta fun in there! All of us kids have been bugging my parents to hurry up and move down South with us however, as I go back and visit, there is a big part of me that will be sad when they actually do move. I love their house and for me it holds so many memories. On the contrary, it will be so nice for them to be close to all of their kids and most importantly all the grandkids. Well, I will narrate our week through pictures...Monday night I met up with Jenny and Colette, two of my best friends from High School, for some dinner and years of catching up to do. Although we hadn't seen each other for a while, it still felt like old times! I had a great night out with the girls!!
On Wednesday we headed to Avila Beach to enjoy the fun playground first and then some sand! The weather was perfect, and surprisingly not windy!Grammy and Kaden posing for the crazy mom with the camera!Looks like Kaden might share my love for dolphins! I hope so!While Kaden ran around on the playground Maddy chewed on her monkey. Nice and content!
Beach time!! This is Maddy's superwoman pose!Splash Cafe in Pismo Beach was next on my agenda. It has the best clam chowder in the whole world!! Even if your not a fan of clam chowder, you will love it!!! It could have to do with all the butter and cream! I don't know I'm just guessing! :) I'm pretty sure Kaden was enjoying it also!

Our last stop of that busy day was to see our Abby! Uncle JJ better watch out, Kaden might be moving in on his woman while he's gone! Such charm that little guy has!! His daddy has already taught him well!Kisses for Abby! Muuuuah!!My little "princessaaa"When we weren't shopping, beachin' it up, or eating delicious food, Kaden was either running around the backyard or......hanging out with the neighbor's horses. He is very into animals right now and all the noises they make. In fact he carries around a horse puzzle piece almost every day. So to see them in real life and so big was quite amazing to him. He would make the trotting noise at them and laugh when they made all of their funny noises. It was really cute. Poor guy would cry so hard when it was time to go inside, especially when it was time for us to begin our trek back home.
As you can see we had a great week, with lots of hugs and kisses. It is always so nice to have an extra pair of hands to help coral "The Kaden" or hold our little social lite. As you can tell by Maddy's expression, we are always happy to be with Grammy! Thanks mom for a great week! You are always such a help and never have to be told what to do, you just do! I hope I can be half the mom and Grammy that you are!!
