Blessed.

I am so blessed to have the most wonderful grandparents. Ever. I have a thousand memories with them, and look forward to each time we get together creating more. My grandparents live right next to a horse farm, so we always grab apples and head on over to visit our friends.

After the horse farm, we packed up all five of the kiddos and headed to Steak and Shake, a favorite old stomping ground of ours. When I was in college, my grandpa used to call me and let me know when they came out with a new dessert. We would make plans to split it that weekend when we came to visit. We always took chocolate malts to go, and Grandma, Justin and I would sip them while we watched the latest horror movie she had acquired. It was so fun to be able to come back years later with our kids in tow.


Nate and Faith, the best of buddies.

AH, the sugar is kicking in!

At the end, Grandpa generously got out a bunch of quarters and let each child choose a candy. It was my boys first time getting to do this, and they thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Thanks for a wonderful day, Grandpa! Can't wait to come and visit you in Texas!
