Sunday Fun

As usual we went to my parents house for dinner yesterday. It is SOOO nice that they have us to dinner every Sunday. This week we had a really nice dinner and then the kids went outside to play. My mom told me that she had some games planned for the kids that involved water balloons. I knew INSTANTLY that the kids were going to be thrilled! I started filling up balloons and when the kids realized what I was doing they were so excited. We couldn't get them filled up fast enough!! We each lined up (kids on one side and parents/grandparents on the other) and threw the balloons to each other trying not to pop them. The kids did that for a minute but then the decided that it was much funner to throw them directly at their parents. In the end we all were wet but had a GREAT time!! I am so thankful that my kids have such great grandparents! It was something I missed as a child (with the exception of my Grandma Schow) I really didn't have grandma's and grandpa's like my kids do. My mom's parents passed away when I was 2 and 5 so I don't remember them at all. I know that I will meet them again one day and I am excited for that. How thankful I am for eternal families and for a loving Heavenly Father who has made it possible for my family to be together forever!!

I'm so grateful for both my parents and my in laws. They're great with my kids and always willing to help out with them.
