Walk for Diabetes and some special guest come to town!

Friday was Spring Valley's Walk for Diabetes day. I joined Lauren and Luke to walk with them to raise money for this worthy cause. Boy, I wasn't really expecting to get such a workout but I did! We walked 25 laps which equals 1 mile. I got in a good 2 miles that day. It was so much fun walking with Lauren and her friend, Makenna. They about died when the song YMCA was playing and I was doing the moves to it....oh, the humiliation from mom. ha!
The special guest that came to town were my parents! I absolutely LOVED having them here. We live 8 hours away so we don't really get to see each other that often. The 3L's loved having them here too.The interesting thing while they were here is that they got 6-12 inches of snow at their house in Hereford. They were pretty glad to have missed the snowy weather.

Appy and Grandad came to eat lunch with Lauren and Luke at school.

Landry enjoyed eating with them too.


There is nothing like the love from grandparents is there?
Luke reminds everyone of my dad when he was little.
Oh, did I mention that it was also pajama day for the fourth graders on Friday? Lauren and Hallie in their pj's at school.
Lauren loved showing off her grandparents. It really was such a treat having them there.

Then it was Luke's turn to Walk for Diabetes. At one point I somehow ended up being the leader of 65 kindergartners in the bunny hop. ha! Luke giggled all the way.

We had a fun time!
Time with my parents went by too fast. It was a laid back weekend. Just enjoying our time together. The 3L's love their grandparents!
I love you mom and dad. Thank you for coming! I miss you both so much.
We hope to see you guys again soon.

I haven't seen your parents in FOREVER so it was great to at least get to see pictures of them! They look great! I know how you feel having your folks way up there in the Panhandle. NO FUN!
