spoiled family fun

Well, I have a lot to catch up on and tons of pictures to share of our week.  Mimi has been visiting since Saturday night and after our Sunday on the farm here is what we got ourselves into……P1070726

P1070727

This is us at Sonic Burger.  Mimi loves Sonic Burger and we go every time she is here!  It was a beautiful day and daddy met us there because he got off work early on Monday.  We had just come from TJ Maxx shopping for three hours so Bradley got Jellybeans in the check out line for being good.  Which he is showing off.  Then what could make his day better than jellybeans….it’s french fries, a chocolate shake and the playground.  Shopping, fun, sun and calories summed up this great day!

 

Tuesday we did more shopping in the morning while Bradley was in school and when we picked him up we went to the park.  We took his bike and walked three times around the track and on the very last lap on the very last turn he took a big fall.  This is his war wound….

He was quickly over it showing it off and ready to play….

Bradley wasn’t the only one having fun.  Gavin is such a big boy swinging!

then we went back to the house to cook dinner and Gavin helped.   Our little “Fresh Express Baby!”

This dinner was especially one to talk about because Bradley had a funny quote I have to share.  He asked to drink some of daddy's water filled to the brim and of course he spilt it all over his pajamas.  He said “Daddy, can you take my shirt off please?’ So Brad did and he said “thanks.” Then Brad, myself and Mimi continued to eat and talk and a few moments later Bradley stood at Brads side with no shirt on still and said “uhhh, Daddy, my FREAKIN’ pants are wet too!” Brad looked at me, then looked at his mom to catch our reaction then simultaneously we all busted out with our laughs!  What made it cute besides the word freaking was how he was so concerned and polite about his shirt that by the time he realized his pants were wet too he said it like he was annoyed! You are too funny our Bradley Bear.  Like I said before..keep the funny quotes coming!

On to Wednesday.  I had a MOPS meeting and Mimi watched the boys for me.  This is what Gavin did while I was gone…..

and then Great Grandaddy came into town that morning.  He drove from Brevard, NC.

then after dinner and more shopping Bradley got these 3D glasses to go with sidewalk chalk from Mimi and the Tootsie Pops from Granddad.  He is so spoiled I don't even try to fight it at times.  As you can see he is eating TWO suckers at 9 at night.

that doesn’t stop mommy from loving my boy…See…I just love him so much for his quirkiness.

So, Thank you, Thank You Mimi and Grandaddy for spoiling all of us.  We had so much fun during your visit and today we were sad to see you both leave.  We love you both very dearly!

There was more spoiling and gifts that took place but that will be next for its very own story of today!
