Grandma Bonnie made it!!

We have been begging Braydon's mom to come out to visit us.  She runs a small store that I think I've mentioned before, Bumbleberry, in the north Georgia mountains.  It's really hard for her to get away since she only has a few employees.  It worked out that she got some coverage for this week so she could visit some family (including us!).  We were so happy to see her since the last time she was out here Sydney was only 2 or 3 months old!  A LOT has changed since then!

We had so much fun spending quality time together.  Braydon and I both love her company and the kids really loved her too.  Landon remembered Grandma Bonnie, and wanted her to play with him.  Sydney took a little bit, but she warmed up pretty quickly and they spent time playing together.  For only four short days, we got to have Bonnie all to ourselves. :)  It was great!

Sydney and Grandma Bonnie were mailing post cards

In the mail it goes...

Right back out again

While she was here, we even got Landon outside to play with his new t-ball set.  I noticed Landon has a pretty good arm when he throws a ball, and wanted to see if he would enjoy playing t-ball.  Come to find out, he's pretty good!!  He needs some reminding to keep both hands on the bat, but he picked it up pretty quickly and more importantly was having FUN!!  He hit the ball around and Sydney gladly tried to take it away from him...it was a rat-race!  I think if I was one of the neighbors, I would've been laughing at Bonnie and me.  Both of us were scrambling around trying to keep Landon interested and Sydney where we could see her, but not where she could steal the ball!  It was funny but tiring at the same time! We both had a huge sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from our brow when we went inside. :)

Landon doing it all by himself.  He did pretty good for a first timer!

Now Sydney wanted a turn.

Grandma Bonnie turned into the target at one point. :)

This was Sydney the whole time we were playing in the front yard.  At one point, I peeked around the corner and she was in the neighbor's sprinklers!  Silly Sydney!

Off Sydney goes again!  Sigh.

Braydon and I wanted to steal Bonnie and keep her here, but unfortunately, that didn't work.  I'm thankful for the time we got with her and we can't wait till she comes back!  Or maybe the next time we see her will be in Georgia...who knows?!
