Adventures with Papa

Mylie and Luke are definitely spoiled when any family comes into town and it was no different when Papa came to visit. They eat up every second of the extra attention-- Luke especially. This kid LOVES attention 24/7 and has to be held ALL the time. It gets a little burdensome when you're alone with both kids everyday, especially when trying to get anything done. But, when there's an extra set of Papa hands.. it makes for one happy baby! :)

Tickle torture-- Luke loved it!
Luke did a lot of showing off in his Jumperoo--he preferred to have Papa watch him while he jumped.
This chica was literally sick the whole time Papa was here. Such a bummer. High temp, cold, nasty cough. The whole bit. What do ya do? Papa looked at the bright side-- lots of snuggle time!
Before we had to take Papa to the airport, we hit the Gateway and enjoyed some yummy Ben and Jerry's and enjoyed some sun.
This girl loves to pout these days. We get this look and stance a lot! My oh my.

Papa gave Justin and I the best gift ever... he watched the kiddos so Justin and I could go skiing! It was SO wonderful. He took care of sick Mylie, needy Luke and even ventured out to Target with both of them. I was way impressed. Papa was happy that he could console both kids without their Mom-- think it made him feel good. He made it seem like it was no big deal-- but I know what it's like to juggle both kids and it's hard. So a big THANK YOU to Papa. Justin and I had a blast at the Canyons. It was so nice not to have to multi-task. :) Sometimes I feel like that's all I do all day long. Justin and I were able to have some great one-on-one time-- much needed.

Thanks for everything, Papa! It's always so fun to have you stay with us. Can't wait for our next adventure. :)

Too much fun having Papa in town. I'm so glad you and Justin were able to go skiing. We love the canyons. We went last year a few times. That is Jen and Ross's favorite.
Mylie looks so sad. :( Poor girl. That must have been one nasty bug.
I had a *Hold me* baby. I used to call him *hold me max* :) Makes it tough to get much done. Luke sure is a cute cute boy.
We need to catch up soon. Dying to know how your meeting went.
Hope you guys are feeling better.

So fun that you're dad was able to come and spend a little QT with your small ones. And yes Becca Justin and I are pretty ridiculously random.. Mylie is killing me with that innocent pout! :) love it.
