Visit from Grandpa and Grandma

We got a special visit from Grandpa and Grandma Darrington this last weekend. For some reason they thought it would be fun to drive for 8 hours just to see their grandkids for a day and half. Silly people! But the kids certainly enjoyed seeing them even if it was for a short time. They got in really late friday night so the kids didn't get to see them until Saturday morning. Stattons face was priceless. I let my parents stay in our room and I slept in the living room with the baby. So Grandpa came out of our room and peeked his head around the corner while the kids were eating cereal and Statton sees him first. He got this funny look on his face like he wasn't sure if he was seeing what he was seeing and once he realized who it was his whole face just lit up and he yells out Grandpa! It was too cute and I'm sure that moment was worth the 8 hours drive to my dad. Blair unfortunately had class that same weekend so he missed out on the fun. So we went to Grand Junction for the day and visited the Botanical Gardens. We had lunch at the Olive Garden and then went and visited the pumpkin patch where Grandpa bought each of the kids a pumpkin. We certainly miss living close to our grandparents but its certainly fun being spoiled by them when they visit. Thanks again Dad and Mom for the fun weekend!

Grandpa and Grandma definately miss their babies! They came to our primary program Sunday and both of them kept looking at the little kids in our ward and sayin, "she's petite like Cassidy." "Look at that little girl's face, Cassidy makes the same one." And they admired the twins and triplets in our ward missing their babies. This was even after thsir visit to you. It was rather funny. Cute kids. Looks like you had fun!
