Grandparents Fun Take 1

My parents came out to our house this week. They got here on Saturday night and Rilyn was so excited to see them. She even woke them up extra early to start playing. Grandpa and Casen hung out in the jammies and Rilyn checked out all of the goodies that Grandpa and Grandma brought. Her favorite thing was the new swing set! It took Cody and my dad and even "Uncle" Smitty to get it up. It took all day too! We celebrated the 4th by building a swing set and having a bbq. And you can't forget the matching flag shirts (I'm a dork and had to get them since it was our first family holiday). Rilyn got to play with some sparklers and Grandma taught her how to sled down the hill with a box. Since the swing set has been up Rilyn has spent every minute that she can convince someone to go outside with her on her swingset. She loves that it has a "tree house" and shes learning how to swing all by herself already. We went berry picking one day and Rilyn loved running around with Grandma trying to find good berries and Grandpa and Casen found their fair share of berries too. My mom, Ashlee, and I went to go see Eclipse one night. It was great, Best one so far! This week we also took Grandma and Grandpa to the zoo, to the Beach, and Rilyn took them hiking at Asbury Woods. Rilyn is still loving her little brother. She is the best little helper. She wants to be holding him and kissing him and bringing him blankets and pacifiers all day long. They also have had some brother and sister nap times. Casen is already getting big. At his one week appointment he had grown a little over an inch and gained a pound since we'd left the hospital. He is a great baby. He hardly ever cries and hes sleeping great at night already. I'm feeling very lucky to have such great kids!
