More fun with Mima and Pop-Pop

Alex, Mima and Pop-Pop left in the wee morning hours on Tuesday, to head off to Provo. Mima tearfully left her baby boy at BYU. They are officially "empty nesters" now.




Mima and Pop-Pop arrived back at our house in the wee morning hours on Saturday. Saturday we took a walk on the bike trail by our house. Pop-Pop and I were dressed in our running clothes and ready for a work-out. I was really proud of the older girls who kept up with us for the first fifteen minutes before going back to Mima and Dad. After Pop-Pop and I had finished our run and we were all walking back, Bella asked if someone would run with her. She can't go very far at one time but she sure is fast! I was one proud Mama as visions of future cross-country stars ran through my head. Then we headed back home for lazy Saturday naps. Afterwards, we grilled for dinner, played Apples to Apples (kids version), celebrated Pop-Pops B-day with a DQ icecream cake, and finished the night with the "Princess Protection Program" movie. We had 4 sad kids as Mima and PopPop headed home Sunday morning but lots of fun memories from the last 2 week-ends.

Wow - Alex at BYU! I still remember the very little, skinny baby that you used to carry around everywhere. He certainly isn't that anymore - he's all grown up!

Love all the BYU shirts in the pictures - looks like Jacob will be headed there too!
