October 13 is an important day for our family. It’s both Grams and Pops’ anniversary and B’s grandparents' anniversary. If both those couples hadn’t gotten married, neither one of us would be here today 
just makes me laugh
We hadn’t been to Nick and Sheri’s since they added their addition to their already stunning house. I think for my next vacation I’ll just go stay in their guest house. It was the perfect place for a fun night! Ben loved playing with Nicholas and did such a good job being careful of the pool. Sweet Briggs even had such a good time that he didn’t fall asleep at all while we were there (we left at 10). Gramma brought juice boxes for Ben and the little squirt drank 4!!! We never give him juice. Pretty sure he was on a sugar high. I tried to take some pictures of the party when I wasn’t holding Briggs or chasing Ben.
Gorgeous outdoor kitchen
My favorite couple :)

Such a gorgeous addition and gorgeous home!

We love Aunt Tina
Sunday morning we left Ben behind and headed home. I thought he could use a couple days of being the center of attention. Two nights was the most I could handle. Thankfully Tina sent me pictures when she could. Ben had SO MUCH FUN with Tina, Boots and Gramma. He was spoiled rotten. He ate probably 1,000 donuts (and has the poop to prove it). He was super well behaved and respectful. I missed him like crazy though!
Helping Boots fertilize
He got to walk to the fire station with them, eat ice cream, watch football, wrestle, read books, help Gramma with her makeup, let balloons up in the sky and eat tons of pizza! Gramma took him to Toys R Us because he doesn’t have enough toys (ha). He picked out a million toys and then told her to put them all back when he saw the Home Depot tool collection. He came home with the tool box and power tools. The rest will probably arrive via Boots and Gramma at Christmas.
We met halfway today to pick him up. Briggs (who has popped not one, but two teeth) missed Ben too because he’s been a little fussy lately (and very clingy). I drank three large drinks at lunch which made for a very uncomfortable ride home. Our favorite 2 year old got french fries when Mommy had to stop to potty just 20 minutes after leaving Gramma.
Showing Briggs his tool box and what each tool does. He likes to “fix” things! Like father (and grandfather) - like son!
We are so thankful we have so many people who love our boys so much. Thanks Boots, Gramma and Aunt Tina (Brad, too) for taking such good care of my favorite blonde boy!
