Grandparents make the BEST BABYSITTERS!

While Cody and I were playing in Arizona, my parents got babysitting duty.  My kids love their Grandma and Grandpa Taylor!  When my parents babysit, they play games with the kids, have root beer floats, take them fun places, eat good food, etc.  Every time we called to check on them they were doing something fun.  I am glad we only ask them to babysit once a year 'cause I think we would wear them out!

Alec had a Suzuki cello event called "Federation" that they do every year.  The cellist plays 2 songs in front of several judges and they rate/critique the players.  Grandma and Grandpa took the kids up to the U of U to hear Alec play and then went to the museum afterwards.  They had a great time!

Yeah, this is usually how it is at our house...boil, boil, toil in trouble (that would be Matt)!

Alec got a Superior!  (which is the highest score you can get).  Good job, Alec!

When Cody and I got home we got to hear all the stories from the kids.  Emily thought Grandpa was hilarious.  He is pretty funny...here is one story she told me.  He had to sleep on our couch because we need a new mattress on our bed.  Our mattress has formed around the way Cody and I sleep (which is in the middle, so the sides are higher).  So he told Emily about how Grandma takes up too much room so he tries to sleep on the side, but then he rolls into the middle next to grandma, so then he gets too hot and sweats, and then he gets itchy...its just a nightmare!  Sorry, Dad.  We will have a new mattress for you next time.

Thanks grandma and grandpa!  The kids had such a good time with you.  We love you lots!
