Grandparents

One of my favorite things about having kids is sharing them with the grandparents and watching them intearct. Ashton and Tera love spending time in Redding with the grandparets- and I enjoy sleeping in and letting in while the grandparents watch them!
Grandma Thompson and Tera
Grandpa Thompson, Tera and their dog Lucy
Papa Smith and Tera- she loved the motorcycle ride- until she got a black eye from slamming her head onto the front of the bike (thanks grandpa)
Tera snuggling with Nana- Ashton in the back playing swords with Trevor
Tera and Nana doing sidewalk chalk- Tera was entertained wiht this for hours!

These pictures don't capture how funny this moment was- but Nana traced Ashtons outline. Then we asked if he wanted to trace hers. He said he couldn't "because she was too big." He didn't think she would fit anywhere on the concrete. Afterwards we saw why he thought she was so big. Instead of tracing her outline he just did a big blog from where her arms went out ot where her legs went out. When she stood up we asked him if it looked like Nana. He said it did and then drew two eyeballs on the blob. We laughed for several minutes after this and loved showing Grandpa how Nana looked traced.

It looks like we were in Redding at the same time! I just got back Tuesday Night, and I was there for ten days. Too bad we didn't know that each other were there.

Over the phone Marilyn expressed she was insulted because Ashton thought his outline of her "looked just like her".....now I understand.
