May 2 - May 12
Nana and PopPop met Eleanor Anne for the first time on May 3rd!
They came in from New York (Nana) and Utah(PopPoP) for Eleanor's blessing. It was so nice to have them there for it. Then they were able to stay for some days after!
PopPop had to head back on the 7th and Nana got to stay until the 12th!
We quite a good time while they were here!
Saturday afternoon after the blessing...the girls headed to a jewelry party.
Kate actually won the raffle and came home with some earrings.
That night the Garner's headed back to Denton-(Kate had a girl's night)!
Mom and I went shopping for different things and picked up Boston Market for dinner that night! Yum! Love us some Boston Market.

Sunday the Garner's came down for the day and we had dinner and hung out!
Sammy actually got really sick on Saturday! He just had a fever all day and into the night and then all day Sunday. It was so sad! I hate it when my kids are sick. I was so happy that it was just a fever. Oh and did I mention our fridge BROKE on Sunday and it didn't get fixed until Tuesday! Yeah, that was AWESOME! We were suppose to go to the beach on Monday, but it looked like that was not going to happen!
Especially since Monday morning, Jackson woke up with a fever!
SOOOO we changed things around a little bit!
Monday Nana, Kate, Eleanor, and I went for a girl's afternoon while PopPop stayed home with the kids. Sammy didnt have a fever anymore, but like I said, Jackson did!
Luckily, he was in a great mood...especially for PopPop!
Us girls went to lunch at the Korner Cafe,....would NOT reccommend that restaurant!
We still had a great time and loved just being with the girls.
Then we went shopping for Kate's shower we were having on Saturday and of course we had to make a stop at Janie and Jack! Our favorite children's clothing store...where we just go in and ooh and aah over everything and then walk out...because it is outrageously expensive!!
(Except that one time when Nana bought Eleanor a beautiful red dress that I am so excited to put her in this Christmas!)
When we came home, Pop Pop said...you are home already! What? We could have stayed out LONGER?! It was good for us to be home. Little Jackson needed his mom!!
Thanks PopPop for watching the kids!
That night we ate at Rosa's!
It was Cinco de Mayo!
We had to eat TexMex!
Yummy!

Jackson will get anyone he can to play legos with him!
Tuesday we still weren't up to going to the Lake, so we decided to go to Bahama Bucks and have a water day in our backyard! I was pretty sure PopPop would LOVE Bahama Bucks and I. Was. Right! He loved it! Eleanor got a cool package because it was her first time there. It came with a spoon and a coupon for a free Baby Snow Cone! Awesome!
We all hung out on the patio and had a great time!
They also had a tetherball court!
I LOVE TETHERBALL!
It was pretty fun to play with everyone.
They also have this hook a ring game at the patio area that we played and played and played!
(We actually ended up putting that game on our back patio to play!)

That night we all went to Sushi Yaa!! Ooooo yum!
We love Sushi Yaa so much.
All you can eat Sushi!
Wednesday morning Pop Pop left bright and early!
It was way sad to see him go so early, but we felt really lucky that he was able to come and play for the time he was able to be here. We haven't seen him for over a year, so it was about time we all hung out! Can't wait to see him in August!
That day we lounged around the house.
The Garner's came down that afternoon.
Nana and I even were able to take NAPS!
It was a much needed relaxful day.
Nana went to Denton that night to stay with the Garner's.
Thursday was spent in Denton.
We took Andrew to work and then headed to Denton.
We went up there so the kids could play while Kate, Mom and I did some packing.
Kate had quite a lot to do.
And we were able to help out a little.
Chichk-Fil-A for lunch.
Our favorite fast food restaurant.
Friday we went up to Denton for Branson's graduation.
The whole reason the Garner's have been here in Texas...for Branson to get his Master's!
And it has come to past!
It was great to be able to see him accomplish such a huge thing.

Jackson had a great time getting Sammy to go where he was suppose to go.
The kids were not able to make it through the whole ceremony, so we spent the time OUT in the concourse playing games and keeping them entertained.
We all ran inside when they were about to call Branson's name!
We made it in there JUST IN TIME!

Congrats Branson on such a HUGE accomplishment!
That night the Garner's had a family night and Nana and us headed back to Lewisville. Nana stayed with us so that we could get eveything ready for Kate's shower in the morning. And Andrew went on a campout with his Scouts.

Kate is all about purple for this baby, so we made sure to have that as the color scheme.
We played some great games!
The first one was they took a picture of Kate and a picture of Branson and cut out features of them and put them on a blank baby face.They turned out PRETTY scary!
We also did the candy bar game where different things about child birth match a name of a candy bar.
The first one to grab the candy bar won that candy bar!
It was really fun.
And then we also had an ongoing game where you could steal people's bows if they said baby.
And then there was a baby pool.
That one we have to wait until the baby comes to see who wins.

After the shower we went to ride a train!!
Whoa did the kids LOVE it!
Whoa did the kids LOVE it!
At first we were in the very first seat...right behind the engine! Yeah--that wasn't really the BEST seat. It was loud and you could smell all of the exhaust.
Luckily, there is a pit stop, so we were able to move to the back of the train. Such a better experience.
It was great to ride the train.
That night we ate at Rudy's!
Yes! We were all in Heaven!
Thanks Nana for such a fun day!

Sunday was Mother's Day!
Our ward did the best thing any ward has ever done! They had a little refreshment brunch for all of the sister's in the ward! IT was awesome...fruit, chocolate, treats!
So, fun! So Perfect!
That night, Mom, Kate, and I were able to play some games while the boys made dinner.
That was perfecT! Just what we were looking for!
Hamburgers and hot dogs!
A great meal for Mother's Day.
We felt really special.
That night we said our good-byes to Nana! She was leaving bright and early the next morning. So Sad! It is always hard to see her go back to New York.We LOVE it when Nana comes! WE are excited to see her in August when we go up for Grammy's 90th!
Thanks for the visit you guys!
See you soon!
