Summer Stays are Coming to a Close

I feel badly that summer is nearly over. It has been fun to have several of the grandkids come to stay or at least come to visit during their summer school break. We have had a chance to get many of the "southern" kids together with the "Logan" kids for a few fun hours and days. We have managed to do things that this Grandma doesn't often do ... like going to:

The Park

"Baby J" (Juliana) and "Baboo" (Jake) had fun on the slides.

Josh and Jenicca were good to come along to help the little ones up and down the slides.

Jake takes a ride in the car in the mall! (Thanks to Aunt Starla!)

Jake and Brad fed the ducks at First Dam

At the County Fair

What a busy week! We tried to pack in all of the activities that we could. Jake had a lot of fun playing with his Logan cousins. We were glad that Chris and Niccole decided to go on an Oregon vacation and Jake decided he would rather stay with Grandma.

Wouldn't some of the rest of the group like to take a trip and leave one behind? A great time for Grandma and Grandpa to get some good one-on-one time!! There were still quite a few that we didn't get to get that time with this summer. There are some we are still looking forward to; however, before the year is through. Ivan .... we are looking forward to some time in September while you are out of school. Time for you and Cait!! And hopefully we will get some "day dates" with some of the younger ones!

Thanks to all for giving us fun times this summer!

Making Memories

I've had some fun times with grandsons the past few weeks. Kaden came to stay on July 13th while he was off track from school. It was so fun to have him here. He had never come to stay with us all by himself without parents or brothers. We had a lot of fun! We went to a movie, miniature golfing, to the park, out to lunch and over to Jarom's for his birthday. We had Jarom over to stay for 2 nights, as well. It was as much fun for me to listen to the two of them talk and giggle together. Girls have nothing over on those two!! They chattered non-stop for 3 days!! I loved it!!!

Kaden. We took some pictures while he and Jarom were here. I'm not sure what happened to all of them!

Jarom's birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It's hard to believe he is already 11 years old! (Jarom: "You are my Sunshine"! You make me smile!)

We took Kaden home on Sunday and picked up Noah and Brigham. They came to stay while their mom was at Girls' Camp. We went to McDonald's for lunch, "First Dam" to feed the ducks, shopping, breakfast with Grandpa, Noah learned to ride Grandpa's scooter alone and we did some crafting. All good times!

Noah and Brig play at McDonalds' playground.


We have had so much fun the past few weeks! Wish they could have all stayed a bit longer! I'm looking forward to September's "stay-over" with Ivan and Caitlin!
