grandma and papa olsen come to visit!

At the beginning of the month Davids parents drove down from Utah to come spend a few days with us. 

It's been just over a year since we've seen them!

The kids had SO MUCH FUN. 

They brought down an entire box of sweet treats and presents for the babies. 

Remington got a cool head lamp, wolfe got a giant paw patrol helicopter and the girls got the cutest spring church dresses. 

Olive threw over her dress but after talking about what nail polish we could paint her nails and which accessories we could pick out to match it, she calmed down. 

That girl...

Saturday morning David and Ted took all the kids to the grocery store where they got to pick out whatever cereal they wanted. 

Frances was like "I want the corn ones!"

Not understanding that she didn't have to pick from our usual three that we used to get haha. 

(We don't eat it much anymore. The kids always complained of being hungry still after eating 2 bowels so I just stopped buying it and stuck to oatmeal haha) 

I loved seeing all of their choices, and of course Papa made sure to get them the family size. 

Grandma Olsen got lots of cuddle time with Etta girl. She gave her so many smiles! It was so sweet to watch. 

One of my new favorites ^^ 

The weather was perfect Saturday afternoon so we spent the rest of the day outside. The kids played  basketball and rode bikes. Papa took turns taking them out for wagon rides around the block. 

Sunday was Etta's blessing. 

They helped prep all the food for lunch while we got the kids ready for church. 

Frances and Grandma were accidentally twinning and Fran thought it was the coolest thing ever. 

The kids were so sad to say their goodbye Sunday evening. 

Rem cried and cried all the next day. 

I'm so grateful that they have such strong relationships with them. 

Some of my best memories as a child were days spent with my Bumpa and Grandma and I'm glad that they can have that too. 

Grandparents are the best. 

We're already planning to drive up to Utah on our fall break to see them again. 

Plus Utah in the fall is MAGICAL!

We can't wait.
