Fun With Nona & Pa.

I think the title sums it up. Ezra had 3 days with his cousins Aimery & Camdyn (from Rexburg). Needless to say that Nona & Pa spoiled them rotten. Nona took them to lunch and Build-A-Bear on Monday. On Tuesday Pa took them fishing and out in the garden. After they played hard Pa bathed them and Uncle Dave planned a a cousin sleepover. Let's just say Ezra wasn't quite ready to go to sleep. He ruined it for everyone...who's kid does that? It was a nice idea babe, maybe next time.

Watching them play on the grass really reminded me of the memories we made growing up. Maybe because I was mowing the dreaded lawn! Or maybe it was because my Dad and Mom always had time to do fun things with us girls. I remember working hard on Saturday morning but my parents always had a fun activities planned for the afternoon. We went on bike rides, swimming, visit cousins, made pea soup, learned new tricks on the tramp, played ball, or even just hung out and ate popcycles. We had lots of fun with the 5 of us! I am so glad that mom & dad taught us the importance of family time. I really hope that I can carry on the same traditions with my family. Dad always says "Work hard & Play hard" and boy does he live by it. Thanks Mom & Dad!

A little shout out to the cousins who couldn't be here....We really missed you GRACIO, BANDER, & GIBBY!! We can't wait to see you this weekend. Lots of Love!

Camdyn got a Football Dog, Aimery got a Ballerina Cat, & Ez got a Basketball Horse.

Ez with the big machines that stuff the animals.
Ez & Nona watching his "Hort" grow.

Pa & the kids with their fishes.

Ez showing off his great catch.
He was really excited about his first "fee."

Ez helping Pa water the garden.
They always end up muddy which is why they have "mud clothes" they have wear when Pa is watching them. But they sure do love it!

Ez learning to climb the trees.
Pa is good at teaching survival skills.

Camdyn helping Ez wash his hair. Notice how high the bubbles are.
All 3 of them cried when they had to get out.

Ez trying to stay afloat.
