Grandma Time

Our boys are so lucky. They have tons of grandparents. I should add "the greatest Grandparents!" While many just have 2 Grandpas and 2 Grandmas, we have 4 Grandmas and 3 Grandpas. That's not including the Great Grandparents.

Have I lost you?

Well, this past weekend Grandma Sheryl came to visit. She is a very special grandma and my birth mom. I won't go into all of the details, but many years ago we reconnected after she lovingly gave me up for adoption when I was born. She is an important part of our family and an energetic, thoughtful, and loving Grandma to our boys.

Anyone who will fight endless light saber battles all weekend long is a pretty amazing person!

This past weekend she surprised the boys with a trip to Build-A-Bear. It was a huge treat and a great surprise.

Little Brother new exactly what he wanted... a camouflage bear, Bronco's Jersey and his name is Curious George. This kid knows what he wants! Then, he rested while Big Brother tried 4 outfits on his bear. 

Big Brother chose the blue Star Wars bear, put the Star Wars music in his foot and then couldn't decide on his clothes. Tried on all the Star Wars costumes and ended with the Bronco's Jersey as well. Go figure! His is named Blue Bronco.

 I hope they get a little better at naming things before they name our grandchildren!

With bears in tow, we headed hiking. It's been so beautiful here for October. We hiked at a favorite place  just southeast of us in Castlewood Canyon. It's a beautiful place and not too challenging for the kids. The fall colors were beautiful. Big Brother made the entire hike on his own and Little Brother made it until the final uphill climb. I was very impressed!

She even babysat for free! I've always envied people who have grandma's nearby to babysit! What a great Grandma!
