A visit from our Colorado kids

I had just been in Colorado and now the kids were coming this way!  How great to see them twice in the month!  

We had lots of fun playing.  But they also helped us with some house chores.  Time to put out the purple martin house!  They would arrive soon!

Getting ready to watch the KU game!  Rock Chalk!

Tenley (and Mindy!) is enjoying the farm set.  

We got it for Josh for his first Christmas!  A well-loved toy!

Kaia cheered them on, but KU lost.  I actually had them losing.  Shame on me, huh?  BUT, tooting my horn here - I actually won the Graber Bracket Challenge bracket!!  I have never ever done that, and quite frankly it was sheer luck.  

Tenley helped Papa rake up some leaves.

They loaded up the pickup and took the leaves and branches to the burn pile.

Taking a walk around the lake.

I sure do love being a Nana!

Kaia smiles so much!!

Tenley was "talking" her own language.  

Tried to record it but didn't get it!

But I did get Kaia making some new noises while they were here.

Ha!  Maybe not yet, Papa.  But one day you may drool also!

There was some Cocomelon-watching going on.  

Even the guys got wrapped up in it!

We watched our son-in-law preach on-line, then I took Tenley to Sunday School.

BOOM!

We forgot to tell Papa to smile!  Mindy thought Papa's unsmiling face needed some editing!

While we were having fun with Mindy's family, Jill's family was enjoying Chicago!  A green river for St. Patty's Day!

And our Arkansas grandson is about to grow taller than his sister, who is 2 years older.  They are both taller than I am.  

I remember when my younger brother grew taller than me!

Next time we go see these kids, I get to pick up the Graber Bracket Challenge trophey from Josh!!
