Ciao Crisciones!!

We love having the Crisciones visit but we know that eventually they must go back to the boot. 

Its easy to get great hugs when everyone falls asleep on the way to the airport

3 bags at 50+ ## and one at 20 lbs and four carry ons at  (hmmm--) 20 ## each and one car seat.  I wonder how they will get home from the airport in Milan?? It required both a car and a truck to get them to the airport today. 

 
 Some of the things we will miss--

• GO BA BA!!! Isaac asking for a banana

• (phone rings) Isaac "HELLO, HELLO, HELLOOO!!!!"

• Anyone leaves--  Isaac "Bye, Bye, BYE, BYE, BYE!!!!!!!

• Isaac laughing at Papa' trying to speak Italian

• Lotties little dollies everywhere and her assigning who plays what part. 

• Lottie wanting to shop at TJ Maxx (Mimi trained her well)

• All of the cousins over all of the time.  It honestly is like a little slice of heaven to have all of these sweet beautiful children playing  Duck Duck Goose.

Next time we see them they will be just that much older and that much smarter.  Lotties off to start school and isaac is now a little man.  He had his first haircut last Sunday and is nursery now.

Bye Bye-- we love you and miss you!!

Autumn View Labor Day - Kamping with Kids

 A trip to Soda Springs Geyser and Hooper SPrings for Natural spring carbonated water

Who loves Oogieloves?

See the bright florescent colors under the big fish?  These are a few of my grandkids dancing in front of the movie theatre at the Oogieloves movie.  It is a G rated interactive movie from made by the Telly Tubies and Thomas the Train group.  The kids were given a fun glow stick butterfly and were cued at different times on screen to do various activities.  They seemed to really love it-- everyone from Emerson to Saidie Babie.   I can also tell you that the adults weren't too thrilled.  But it is fun that there is a fun kids movie.    

SCORE!!! some hanging out time with the kiddos

Invasion of the preschoolers!!

 with Lottie bug and Ikky around we are being swarmed with an infestation of preschoolers!  Toys are everywhere and ants are praying on the crumbs.....  They move in swarms from the basement theatre room to the upstairs bunk bed fortress to Princess Chloe's magic castle swing set.  Here they are swarming JR & Kristi's. 

And we are loving every minute of it!!

I think someone needs a dog.......

which one is Lottie and which one is little Rachael??
