Spring Break with Naunie!

We had a great time with my mom visiting us for Sophie's Spring break! Of course we didn't do ALL the things we talked about doing - the time goes by so quickly - but we did lots of fun things and she definitely spoiled us! Thanks SO much Naunie! We miss you already!
( The pictures are in opposite order but I didn't feel like changing them around!)

Taking Naunie to the bus stop that takes her to the airport....
Sophie was a pretty sad little girl and was sobbing in the car all the way back home...
Brian and Naunie.... he used Naunie's visit as an opportunity to get some extra school work in so we didn't see too much of him.
Just before going to the bus....
Me and my mama!
We went to Mcdonald's with the kids and they had a great time playing in the playland and bartering their toys with other kids for the ones they wanted..... (oh yes, by the way Miles now weighs 21 pounds and can turn around in his car seat! HOORAY!!)
Reading books...
Looking at the SNOW in our yard! We had snow the first 3 days of the visit! :(
Miles loves tools of any kind so he jumped at the opportunity to help Naunie fix our baby gate!
The girls made these "diorama's" with Naunie from our family fun magazine. But the word "diorama" made us all giggle and think of something else that sounds like "diar....." so we changed it to eggorama's! Naunie took the girls to the store and they got to pick out a little easter toy to put inside of it. (I know Nora's eyes are funky in this picture but I don't want to upload another and to be honest her eyes are often like this in pictures so I figured I'd leave it!)
Miles was a crazy boy during Naunie's visit - the crazed look on his face in this picture proves it. He was SO silly and SO funny he kept us all laughing!
Busted getting into mom's make-up!! Blackmail for when he's older.....
Working on the "eggorama's"
Both my girls are quite the snugglers - and Naunie didn't complain one bit! :)
Reading books - yes, I think Nora is picking her nose in this picture.... I just noticed.
She never does that. :)
Sophie drew Naunie a note with a sunflower on it - her favorite flower
This was on the way home from the airport when we picked her up! The girls were so excited!

Thanks again for everything Naunie! We love you and miss you already!

Wow great pictures! I'm glad Naunie was able to come out and see you. I can't wait till you all come out here. I love the pictures of Miles I can already tell he has that crazy Phillips sense of humor. That's a good thing. Grandpa John

Having family come is such a blessing, to see them to visit with them, have fun together, but it so hard to say goodbye...
Your mom is such a great lady, so of course you had a great time.
Still can't wait to see you guys, the boys are literally counting down to when we get to see you!
