The Beginning of Summer Vacation!

As soon as school was out on Friday I headed to Mineral Wells to visit my parents. I haven't really had a chance to go see them lately. It seems that we've been so busy here lately. I have to confess though, every since my grand babies have been born I have sort of put my parents on the back burner, not that I don't love them ordon't want to see them it's just that my grandchildren are a BIG part of my life now. I remember when my nieces and nephews were born, my parents loved spending time with them. I know they understand that part of being a grandparent. I love my parents and will try my best to see them more often.

While there visiting, I took them to see the great grand kiddos. I met up with Janet, Cole and Natalie in Wichita Falls on Sat. afternoon. Mom and Dad hadn't seen the kids since Natalie was born back in November. I give thanks to my sister Janie for taking them to WF's when Natalie was born, or this might have been the first time they would have seen Natalie.

Cole liked my dad better than he liked my mom, he wouldn't take a picture with her but he would with my dad. It was so funny to see him shake his head "no". Mom didn't mind she had Natalie all to herself then. I'm just so glad that my parents and grandbabies have had a chance to meet each other. Mom is 77 and Dad is 84. Both are still getting around quite well. I'm so lucky to still have them in my life and that they can see me as a grandmother. Dad was lucky enough to have a picture taken with both kids. Mom was not so lucky, maybe next time.

Here are a few pics of them with Cole and Natalie.

Great G-pa and Cole at the Mall. Cole's all smiles because he got to walk with his Great G-pa.

Great G-ma and Natalie.
