Watching the 4 Travellers, or was that 5 Travellers

I got to meet the family Thursday night, June 7th, at Kimberley Park, where Cache was playing his baseball game. He is a good player and looks so handsome in his uniform.
Cooper, our lefty, is also on a T ball team. He wanted his picture taken just like his brother. He is a fast swinger (Just like his dad).

Friday, Shelby wanted to help Grandma make chocolate chip cookies while Libby slept. She was a great helper. She dumped the ingredients into the mixer and helped me find all the needed items. Her reward was licking the beaters. She was a great helper and the cookies were yummy!
Saturday while Tony took the boys 4-wheeling, the girls and I enjoyed the backyard swimming pool. They played in the sand and the pool and got warm on their towels on the deck. The had more sand in the pool than in the sand box by the time swimming was over. They even had sand in every crack of their bodies. Does this remind you of the beach?
When the boys (yes all three) got back, they wanted to give Grandma a ride. I rode on the back with Cache. Wow, did I get the ride of my life. He is a good driver, but he almost threw his grandma off while turning around. Cache and Cooper can do cookies and go very fast. They shift gears and can handle them well. The path was very soft like flour and so when we got back we were covered from head to toe with dust. I definitely had gray hair and needed a shower.


In the evenings we had a movie night. They love watching movies in their parent's bed.

What a scare! Sunday morning Tony woke up early and had to go somewhere to help some out. I woke up and looked in the bedrooms to see where the children were. Everyone sleeping, but I couldn't find Cooper. I asked Tony where he was. He said he was downstairs asleep. I looked down in his room and did not see him in his bed or on the couches anywhere. Tony went down and looked and he could not see him either. We looked upstairs, outside, and Tony started calling for him outside. He got worried and started wondering how he would explain to Jodi when she got back where he had disappeared to. I went back down to his room and could hear heavy breathing. There he was, on the floor under his bed cuddled up with his blanket. He was not feeling well and somehow got there to sleep. What a relief in finding him!
Way to go Mom! We were proud of Jodi and her accomplishment to run with her sister and cousins in the Tahoe Relay. They were excited to see her come home. They made a sign for her and wrote messages and pictures of love to her. I think they were excited to see Grandma go home. She was a slave driver!
