Leaving our footprints at Mamma's house

I think we left a lot more at Mamma's house than just little footprints. I think we left some fingerprints, some unwanted chalk on the driveway, some flowers that may need to be replanted, and 'the good red milk, not Mamma's bad (skim) milk' as Jett would say. But I also think we left behind some great times with cousins and grandparents!


First we had to do a little yard work before we could play. Jett and Sawyer were such good little helpers. Jett thought Mamma should probably have another shovel for him to plant flowers with though. Only one shovel, what is she thinking!

Always so great to see all the family when we come home. The kids play so cute together. And we can never get enough of Grandma Boosa's chocolate cake. Yum!

Oh my sweet little thumb sucker! How I love to cuddle with you.

We spent hours . . . and hours painting (with water) and drawing with chalk on Grandpa's nice clean driveway. Oh how he loved that. How is it that the grandkids get away with things that I never could do??? Chalk on the driveway, NEVER! What a mess! I think my Dad has losened up a bit.

And our two sweet baby boys just watching all the action from a safe distance away.

Hours . . . and hours playing in the water.

And the classic scene of the whole week. A farm boy teaching a Doctors daughter how to pee outside!

What happens at Mamma's, stays at Mamma's. Kids peeing outside and tatt's on the toddler's. Oh the shame of it all! What kind of parents are we???

The Old Ephraim stories live on! And somehow Jett and RoWan are the stars in them now. Jett is still talking about the nice bear that helps us out. 'Can he carry our house Mom?' Well in all the stories I remember, he probably could Jett.

Oh, how sweet it is to go back home and relive my childhood through my children. Hanging out with my sister and parents while my kids play with all my old toys and learn from the greatest parents ever. We love you! Thank you for putting up with all the noise,
and the footprints we left behind.
