overnight at grammy's

can i just say this...

i love my in-laws

and i know that is something a lot of people can not say.
but i say to nate allll the time
"you're family is a better deal than you" ;)
really though... nate comes from great stock and i am oh so proud to be a Clark
even though we visit utah a lot, we always seem to miss visiting someone. 
there never is enough time you know?
our trip back in september we didn't get to see the clark's so this time around it had to happen.
nat and jake were up in midway for the weekend and kindly gave me a ride down to the clarks on sunday.
and guess what?
brig loves grammy's house :)


well he loves grammy actually...
and i think he holds a special place in her heart too
 being her baby's baby and all
kind of the end of an era or something?


her house, and life i would say, is pretty much dedicated to her grand babies.
i mean when you have 6 in one year this must tend to happen :)
but this play pen? genius!


she has is set up in her kitchen and brig was in heav-en


while at grammy's we ate wonderful food, walked, brig slept beautifully, he ate in his dad's old highchair, and jaydee and coleen always always spoil you... i'd feel bad about it but it's kind of really fun. 

monday afternoon coleen went to play the piano for her hour in the conference center,
so i went and picked up jaydee at the market and we headed over to see grandpa cliff


brig was a little unsure of great grandpa at first :)


but he warmed up.
and grandpa cliff was in excellent form.
and
we found out he, margaret, and jaydee lived not to far away from where we live now for a year during the war! they actually celebrated jaydee's first birthday here!
i'm determined to go visit the little town.


after grandpa's we picked up coleen and they treated us to dinner at redrock
it was scrumptious and delightful and i couldn't have asked for a more fun day!
it's always bittersweet being dropped off at the airport. 
i'm always ready to get home and back to my guy
but then i'm always leaving these really fun people.
oh well... at least mr clark is making is possible for me to visit!


jaydee and coleen
thank you for the wonderful stay!
we sure love you guys!

It's quite obvious that Colleen is a pro at the "Grandma-ing" thing. What a nice change for you and Brig after the crazy-ness of Midway! XOXO
