BeBe and BoBo

My mom came to town last week and it was such a fabulous time! Unfortunately my dad wasn't able to make this trip due to work and he was missed so much. Here's the thing with my mom...she wants to do it all and not in a pushy, taking over kind of way...in a wonderful way!! Diapers, breakfast, lunch, dinner, bottles, putting to bed, bathtime, playing down on the floor, taking him for walks, pushing him on the swing outside, if it's part of his day she wants to do it and I LOVE that!! Not only do I get a huge break, but she is developing such a wonderful bond with Bo and you could truly see that her entire visit!

We did so many fun things while she was here. First thing we did was shopping. Some of the children's stores were having huge sales and she loves to buy him clothes. I think we got his entire fall/winter wardrobe! She loves to do it and we are so, so grateful! Not knowing Jarrod's job situation with the sale of his company we are trying to be conservative with money so THANK YOU mom, you don't know just how much we appreciate it! She also bought him a few new books and then while we were at Target...I look up and those two were checking out the toy aisle! That's what grandparents are for!

Some of my new clothes
I LOVE my new puppy!


Saturday morning we got up and headed to Sweetberry Farms. It is the cutest place I've ever seen. It's a great pumpkin patch! It had all types of pumpkins, I didn't even know there were so many different kinds. They had a "stuff your own scare crow", face painting, goats and chickens for the kids to feed, paint your own pumpkin (yes we did this), homemade jams to buy...it was so much fun! So back to the paint your own pumpkin...I was going to "paint" while Bo held on to the brush with me...I know you're all laughing right now. So, the brush quickly went all over his face so that ended that activity real fast. Mom had an idea to paint his foot and make a footprint...turned out adorable!



His "painted" pumpkin!

The rest of her time we just hung out around the house, watched football, she kept Bo so Jarrod and I could go to dinner one night, and we also had a playdate with RJ. Also, on Sunday we went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant and Bo had a tortilla, some mexican rice, refried beans, and chicken...he loved it!

Mmm I love Mexican food!


At Jungle Java for our playdate with RJ.

Giving Kisses!!!

We had a wonderful time with her here. I can definitely say I got spoiled having someone here to help and take care of Bo. I just wanted her to relax and have fun and I think it was a success! We miss you tons!
