Another trip to the farm!

After Prestyn's birthday party, Grammie & Papa convinced me & the boys to head to the farm for a couple of days with them, since they were planning a trip back this direction a few days later, we decided to hop a ride & come along. We left daddy home all alone :( but he managed to survive without us (he probably enjoyed the peace & quiet).

We were able to go to Glasgow to visit Grandma Meme (Amanda)
~ a quick story on how she got the name Grandma Meme:
Ever since Cayden was just a baby every time we'd see her she'd sing the song "Jesus loves the little ones like me, me, me, Jesus loves the little ones like me, me, me, little ones like me, sat upon His knee, Jesus loves the little ones like me, me, me" So once Cayden was able to talk when we'd talk about Grandma Wall, he'd ask "the meme Grandma?" so we started calling her that & he still does it to this day! I love it!

Well Grandma has moved into a more assisted living place, which is great for her needs, but she doesn't love it. She is having a hard time getting around and an even harder time I think dealing with the fact that she WANTS to do so much, but her body won't let her.

I feel so bad for her, because I know she just isn't happy & is so uncomfortable, but I enjoy every visit I get with her & love that the boys know who she is & LOVE seeing her too!!

I snuck this picture of her to show you how bent over she is, this is how she always stands, but she can stand pretty much at a 90 degree anlge when using her walker. She was peeling a clementine for Cayden here.

When we were at the farm we were able to go visit my friend Trisha from highschool. She just had her baby boy in July and he is so incredibly sweet & cute. He gave me a good filling of baby snuggles (and a squirt of puke) :) Cayden had fun catching up with Joel's big sister Alexa Jo! They've been buddies since they were babies! It was so fun to catch up! I just love getting together with Trisha, she's so easy to be around. And the time just flys by when we are together, we always have so much to talk about! Thanks for letting us visit Trisha. You have truley been blessed with some amazing kids!
Cayden & Alexa, posing for ANOTHER picture...I need to do a post of them from birth to today! They've had alot of fun together!
Grammie let Cayden drive home from the mailbox, he thought he was BIG stuff, and had so much fun!
Prestyn hanging out in the pickup while Grammie & I helped gimpy (I mean papa) fix a flat tire on the swather!
While we were helping with the tire, Cayden rode in the other swather tractor with Uncle Ryan and ended up falling asleep, it must have been extremely exciting.
Excited for his first ride of the haying season! :)
Thanks Mom & Dad for bringing us to the farm. We always have such a fun time!
