Don't I look like my mommy? I love that!
My parents came in to visit us for the holiday weekend and they brought my youngest brother with them. He is a senior in high school this year. It was really good to see them again and have them in our home. Mr. Incredible was commenting how easy it is to have them come and visit us and that it always easy when they come.
We were pretty busy. Dash had a tournament for challenge baseball. They got to see him play. My parents when they are spectators are quite the spectators. I love that they are so proud of their grandchildren. My dad was just recently diagnosed with diabetes and he is new to the diet and eating regimen. His diabetes can be controlled by diet and he is not insulin dependent.
They swooned over what a great helper Beauty was and how she just pitched right in and helped with all of the cooking.
They could not believe how big Warrior has gotten and how long his hair is. Warrior gave grandma a ride in his truck. She really enjoyed that. Warrior's vehicle is definitely an experience to be had and no words could qualify.
My dad is a NASCAR fan. I didn't realize how big of a fan he really is. They had bought our family tickets to go to the races from Thursday night to Sunday night. Sunday night being the big Finale. We went to church on Sunday and then the boys went to the races. The girls we had a day of shopping and good eating. Normally, we do not do any of these things on Sunday but they were in town and it was RACE WEEK.
Sweetheart painted our nails including the dogs nails. Kekoa loves for his nails to be painted. My mom tipped as if she was in the salon and Sweetheart was very surprised. Sweetheart always does everyone's nails for no tips.
It was a much needed break for my parents to get away from their business and work. My dad was involved in a very serious accident earlier in the week. One man had died. After investigation, it was found to be no fault of my dad's and they believe the other driver had a medical issue, a suspected heart attack. So sad and such an eye opener to everyone.
Memorial Day we took it real slow and everyone got up and dreaded the day to come because they were headed out. We had brunch out and I overheard my children saying to one another, I wonder who mom and dad will be like? Grandma Janice or my parents. I quickly replied I will be like both. My children still have a great grandmother, who is 92 yrs old. She is very witty and has all of her faculties. She is an inspiration to me.
I really loved having my parents visit. I wish they had brought my neice and nephew with them. WE look forward to seeing them again this summer, in NY. Not a lot of pictures but definitely a lot of memories were made! We love and miss you!

You definitely have your mothers beauty! What a blessing that your father and mother are healthy. My dad has had multiple strokes so he can't really do many things for himself, and I really miss seeing him do things he once enjoyed. Sounds like you had a wonderful and fun week! Good to hear! Thanks for sharing this!
I always lov eit when someone says, 'You look like your Mother' and even better... when they say you are just like her.

Okay, they say the third time is a charm so I'll try this one more time.
I'm glad you had such a good visit with your folks. DD#1 and her family were also at the races Mem Day weekend. You probably sat right next to them and didn't even know it. LOL!

K- kind of creepy....look I going to remember to call you by your code names...I thought that picture was Mother Goose and Mr. Incredible.
Man, you guys can only hope to look that young at that age. They look great and HOW COOL is a grandma that is willing to ride with the driving grandson? My kind of lady.
