Visit from Grandma and GG

It has been awhile since I have posted anything. Life is a little crazy. The big cool thing that has happened since Connor's birthday is that my grandparents came to TEXAS to visit. The kids and I left work and school early last Weds to go spend time with them, Aunt Mimi and Aunt Mary... Billy was in town as well. We had a great visit, I went back the next day to visit with them and have some adult conversations, since the kids were at home with Trev.
On Friday, I went to Chicago with 10 other co-workers to the NRA food show. It was a great time. We were searching for new equipment for the new stadium, so we were very busy. We did have time to get all dressed up and have dinner at Trumps' new hotel at the restaraunt, Sixteen. It had only been open 2 weeks... service was GREAT food was pretty good but the best part was the VIEW! It overlooked the lake and was right in the middle of downtown Chicago. We went to 3 other Great Restaurants, a latin one, Cuatro, an american cuisine, MK and an italian one, Tuscany at Taylor. All of them were Great. This was the 3rd time in 8 years that I have gone on this particular trip.
It is Memorial Weekend and we are very excited for the extra day off. Trev is going to play golf and tomorrow I think he is going to watch the NEW Indiana Jones movie. He is getting some much needed alone and guy time. 4 days; 1 birthday shopping, 1 birthday party, 1 volunteer shift at the church, 1 grocery trip, 2 days of work and getting the kids ready, and picking them up and he is definitely deserving of time off!!!!! They sounded like they were having a great time every time I talked to them.
The pictures below are from the night with Grams and Gramps(the names I call my grandparents). The first one though is KK in a dress that Grams had made for me when I was younger. KK wore it to school and told everyone that her mommy had worn this dress. Grams loved that she had it on. KK styled it a little different than when I wore it... but it was still cool to see her in it. I have a family photo on my dresser that actually has me in this dress.


Silly faces by the boys



The lighting was a little off because I messed up the camera.
Always something with me and the cameras.
