My mom came to visit a month ago and what a sweet visit it was. By the time she arrived, I had been a single mom for about three days, while Cody was off across the country for some military training crap. It was a tough three days, being that I had a newborn, but that made my mom's visit all the more sweeter. Not only was she such a big help during the time Cody was away, she was just a lot of fun to have around. We talked, we baked (okay, she baked, I ate), we watched
HGtv, and we did a little sight-seeing. She was great with the kids, brought gifts, made crafts, cooked with them- they always have fun with Grandma! It was my favorite visit yet.

This was my mom's first time seeing the Atlantic Ocean and it was cold and windy, but vast. Very, very vast).

{One of my favorite things about my mom's visits- super yummy baked goods- she made cinnamon rolls,
butterhorn rolls, cookies-
sooo-ho-ho good}'
Thanks, Mom,
for the visit,
the help,
the food,
and all the good times.

Thanks for the nice post. I had a great visit, the pictures brings back such good memories. We had a good time and I am glad that I was able to spend some one on one time with the kids, and got to snuggle with Luke. Luke sure has changed a lot since I was there. You are a great mom, I loved the time that I got to spend with the kids, and I wish that I could come more often. Take Care. Give my love to the kids.
What a fun visit! When are you coming out here for a visit??
You are so blessed to have such a great mother Brooke. And I feel so blessed that you all share her with me. She truly is the best!
And, oh how yummy do those cinnamon rolls look? Like I said, she's the best!!
P.S.
How did Cody's military crap training go?
Oh, that looks like so much fun. I love doing all those things with moms!! :) How about WE do some of those things together in February?!! :)
So I just looked more closely at the picture of your mom and the girls at the battleship, and I'm cracking up! What is Claire doing? I love that girl!!!
