Grandma Cook was here!

What a treat it was to have my mom(Grandma Cook) here for a week! We had such a wonderful time together and enjoyed all the fun experiences with her. Here's a glimpse of our week...
Oct 8th, Friday-picked her up from the airport...girls were already asleep, but when we pulled into the garage Kaden came running out to greet her and didn't stop talking that night until he hit his pillow. It was so cute.

Saturday-Time Out For Women (http://deseretbook.com/tofw) My sister, Liz, found us a couple of tickets from a lady who couldn't make it from Oklahoma City. So even thought it was "sold out" we got to go and enjoy a wonderful time together.
Monday-Kaden was out of school this day for Teacher Day and so he got to stay home and play with us. We went to play at the mall and had such a fun time shopping and eating together. The kids all got to ride the carousel horses with grandma. They all loved it, even Mady going for her first time.

Tuesday-Sarah and Kaden both had school this day so mom, Mady and I did a little shopping together. We went to Joann's fabric store to get a pattern for a dress for Sarah...we never got to sew it, but Mom did several mendings for me...well for Brandon, Kaden and Sarah. Thank you Mom!

Wednesday-Kaden had school. Sarah had dance. She was so happy to have grandma Cook come watch...and after we went shopping at the mall and Sarah got to try on like 6 Christmas dresses and Grandma got her the perfect one. Can't wait for those pics! Then we picked up Kaden from school and headed to the pumpkin patches in Flowermound. We had sooo much fun with everyone!
The kids loved all the jump houses...even Mady

Sarah got on too, although she wasn't going to at first.

Thursday-TEXAS STATE FAIR 2010 What else can I say? We had so much fun for 7 whole hours at the fair...daddy joined us for the last 2 or so. Mom really enjoyed herself too and I think will be back again for that.

Friday-We took my mom out to McKinney to see Brandon's park that is finally complete! Yeah...it is so awesome! The kids just never want to leave every time we go.

Saturday-Well we finally had to say goodbye after such and amazing week!



We miss you Grandma Cook and can't wait to see you in December "when Santa Claus comes." -Sarah
