Weekend Recap

My parents (Mimi & Poppy) came to town for the weekend.  We were so happy to have them here and Madelyn was spoiled rotten the entire time they were in town!

We spent a lot of time playing outside.  Garrett and my dad did a wonderful job planting new flowers and shrubs in our front yard and Madelyn had fun supervising. 

Poppy and Madelyn had tons of fun being goofy around the house!  Madelyn thought it was hilarious for her Poppy to give her a ride in her doll stroller.  Her giggles could be heard for miles! 

She also had a blast playing games on her Mimi's iPhone...

Mimi went with Madelyn to The Little Gym for the first time and Madelyn was very happy to show off all of her gymnastics skills...



We had so much fun with Mimi and Poppy and were super sad to see them go!  Thanks for coming to spend your weekend with us way down in the valley!
