Some random randomness

Ok, and for my first randomness....this is my Hook grandparent's house. This is where my Mom grew up! The kids and I had met Cozette & her kids at Temple Square last week to take pictures (those in another post). Afterward, Brandon got picked up by Mike and they had a boy's night out with Mike's family. Jim & Renae took the boys to see the Three Muskateers at Hale Center Theater.

So, the girls decided to go to dinner! We hit Training Table with Cozette's family. After leaving them, I just started driving around downtown and south to show the girls some of the things of my childhood. I'm not sure they have ever seen the house where their Grandma Gib grew up! It was fun and I was so glad that Amanda was brave enough to take a picture for me. It was a great house and I still remember so many things about it. The yard has changed a lot. There weren't stars above the windows. But, my favorite July 4th memories remain here. We would come over for a bbq with the family and then walk down to the park at the end of the street. That park was kiddie-corner from Liberty Park, so we could see all the fireworks! I loved sharing those stories with our girls. We also hit The Dodo for some dessert since we were in the neighborhood!

Sydney was so excited to get her ballet costume that she tried it on, asked me to take a picture and then told me I should put it on the blog. She's so cute! Love the girl's ballet school.
Then, Brandon's preschool had a Mother's Tea last week. The Moms came and were served by our cute children. It was so fun. Brandon just stayed by my side and hugged me. He was really excited to have me there!

They sang a little program for us. Mostly songs about letters of the alphabet. So darling! Brandon sings these songs constantly at home and I love it!

After they were finished, they presented us with cute little flower pots that they had painted and planted a petunia! So precious!

I can't believe our baby is just about done with preschool! I'm having a hard time not wanting him to grow up! He's my buddy. Always there with a great hug or snuggle. Always wants me to tickle him. He likes to tell me stories.

I just hate to think that someday, he won't think I'm so much fun to hang with!

Jealous you ate at the Dodo! Love that place.
I thought that was interesting that your favorite memories are of the 4th of July when you were younger - that is exactly how I feel. I compare all of our 4ths with what it was like as a kid and I can't ever seem to get it! I want my kids to have the same memories..
Cute pics of Syd!
