Grandma Linda Has Arrived From Vegas

It is not very often that Adam and I see our grandmas together, especially since Grandma Nise lives in Ohio and Grandma Linda lives in Vegas. Even though the grandmas were together for less than an hour, it was still worth it. Now it is time for us to say good bye to Grandma Nise and thank her for taking care of Adam and I. Grandma Nise sure did get a work out while she was at our house but who wouldn't, after doing the laundry , dishes, cleaning the house, lifting Adam and I; and especially taking care of mommy while her boo boos got better. Now it is time for Grandma Linda to take over........... Good luck as grandma Nise said, we are a handful!

This photo was taken at the Orlando airport. The grandmas flights were not far apart, so everyone visited for awhile, well except mom because she was resting at home. Grandma Nise took the time to get her last hugs from Adam and I. As well as, fill Grandma Linda in with what to expect while at our house for the next three and half weeks. By the end of the conversation is all I heard was..... LINDA YOUR GOING TO BE TIRED!

Grandma Linda has arrived and is looking and feeling great! See grandma was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and for now it only affects her arm and hand. She is a strong grandma and working through it.

Daddy and grandma set up the pool because mommy wanted to get outside for some fresh air. Mom had a great time laughing and smiling at Sarah and I while resting in her chair.

Daddy hooked up a mini sprinkler and I had fun not only getting myself wet but.......

my sister! Sarah did not seem to mind one bit. That could because she believes she is a mermaid any time she hits the water!

Mom is feeling more like herself, so she decided to get out of the house and go with daddy to his award banquet. Doesn't my daddy look really nice in his formal Fire Fighter outfit? While at the banquet grandma Linda, Adam and I had fun entertaining one another. We were actually surprised at how early mommy and daddy returned from their mini night out. Little did daddy know that people would be sitting on bleachers or in hard metal chairs, during the event. Mommy did not handle this well because it hurt her boo boos, so they left early and mommy went right to bed.

Family out for breakfast!

It is time to say goodbye to Grandma Linda. We will all miss her, especially her big boy CHAD! We can't thank her enough for all she has down the last three and half weeks. Adam and I loved all the attention and will miss you lots.

Saying goodbye is never easy! Kisses, big squeeze, love you grandma!

Grandma Linda sure did get a work out while at our house. She did a great helping mommy since she can't lift, bend or pull anything. Thanks again for keeping the house in order, even though Adam and I always seemed to mess it up with all of our toys! By the way.... doesn't my mommy look GREAT! IT IS THE SUMMER OF CHORAK!

Grandma Nise and Sarah leave Ohio and arrive in FL

After almost a three week journey in Ohio, it was time to head back home and see my mom and dad again. So grandma Nise (short for Denise) and I took an early flight out of Ohio and headed home to Florida. Now my grandma is going to stay at my house for two weeks. She is going to help take care of Adam and I until my moms boo boos go away. All smiles to see grandma Denise. Mom was not sure who was more excited grandma or me!

I sure can't get enough hugs from my grandma Nise.

Mom and dad surprised me with a doll house when I got home from Ohio. Little did Sarah know that it has been hiding in her closet for all most two years, if not longer. I had so much fun playing with the doll house I borrowed from grandma Nise's neighbor that I was glad to have my very own.

Aquarium Ohio Visit

After the Destin beach trip I went in one direction (Ohio by car) and my mom, dad and brother Adam went in another direction (back home FL). Since I am the big sister, I spent two weeks of my summer break in Ohio with my grandparents. I can't get over how many fun filled activities were planned for me. I can't wait to go again next summer.

My great aunt Debbie and great aunt Danette took me to the Ohio/Newport aquarium for the day. Kristen and David, my second cousins also participated in the fun filled day. My mom and grandma took me to this aquarium when I was a lot younger but don't remember much. Now that I am older I really got experience all it had to offer.

Hanging out with my second cousin David!

My great aunt Debbie and I are feeding the birds. This was one of my favorite things to do.

Bonding with my second cousin Kristen.

So amazed by all the penguins......

and more penguins.

Thanks again, Debbie and Danette for a very fun filled day!

After a long day at the aquarium I still had energy left to show off my scooter skills. Although, my mom wanted to know where my helmet was grandpa!

Off I go.......

TRIP

More fun during the Ohio Trip.


The question is do I miss my mommy yet?
Playing the piano, feeding horses, play date, and visiting great grandpa Al. Mom says I look like a natural in this photo. I had so much fun playing the piano at my great aunt Cathy's house. I even had some time to create my own sheet music!

My grandma took me to her friends Belinda's house. Enjoying a healthy snack with a new friend.

See Belinda neighbors have horses I had some fun visiting with them.

A group shot!

After a busy morning at the parade we went to celebrate the 4th of July with family. I had a blast bounding with my second cousin Meghan. See Meghan grew up with a passion for her stuff animal lambs and for some reason I had to just take one to borrow for a few weeks.
