*bonding time
*exploration and long beautiful walks with beautiful memories
*cherished family time
*gorgeous views with take-out Chinese

Oh how I love my mom and dad. They are the best parents ever. Every morning we woke up I would ask what they wanted to do and my dad would always say, "Whatever you need me to do!" He is such a golden servant always eager to help. He fixed my kitchen curtain rod that was breaking, fixed my shop vac so I can clean my car more efficiently now, cleaned and scrubbed my kitchen, cleaned out my entire garage, mowed our huge yard in the stinkin heat of the day...so many things that seem so little yet add up to mean so much to me! I love walking around the house and seeing the little touches of love he left. My mom does just the same, she cooked us amazing meals, watched the kids while I organized, cleaned, did laundry every day, let me take morning naps if Bree had a rough night, let me go get my hair done (wahooo!) and on and on.
I don't know what I did to deserve them as my parents but I count my blessings every day. They have taught me so much and continually do. They are the ultimate example. They are always serving and blessing others lives. It's truly impacted my life watching and learning from them. It is something I've always been taught from a young age...it was in our home and I got to read it every day, "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God." I believe that with all my heart.
My parents are amazing grandparents too! They are so hands on. They play with my kids non stop and my children just adore them. I love the relationships they have. It makes my heart so happy!
I love you mom and dad. Thank you for being such a bright part of my life and blessing my life beyond compare!
I was glad we had this awesome distraction on our way home. I HATE saying good bye and it was so hard to drop mom and dad off at the airport. I seriously thought about keeping them hostage in the car and just driving back home with them whether they liked it or not! But, unfortunately all good things must come to an end. It was so hard to leave them...but going back I had arranged to meet up with our lovely Lindsay Lou! We love and adore Kam's birth mom and it is always fun to hang with her. She and her mom met us at ChickfilA. Our favorite place to eat!! We had a great time together!!
I have so many amazing people in my life. I feel like the luckiest girl alive!
