Grandma and Grandpa come for a visit

Shanes mom and dad are here for a visit from sunny LA. We haven't seen them in over 2 years so it has been nice to reconnect. With them living so far away, it has been a struggle to get down there (haven't been down in over 12 years) and for them to come up here (we kept telling them we'd come down instead). Finally, they said, "that's it! we are coming".

Mae took to grandma and pa immediately. She just adored them.
Look at the similarity between grandpa and Myron!

Love the group shots!

After a great church meeting in which Nathan not only gave a talk, but was ordained a teacher in the aaronic priesthood, we went to Tophams for dinner. We had a great time and of course,.....the subject went to boxing. Matt has been telling us about a youth boxing club that the Bainbridge Police are trying to form and Shanes dad was a boxer, so you know where that went.

I have been so hesitant about the whole wrestling thing, so now boxing? Um.....yeah..... Nuff said.

Cute little girlies above eating at their own private table and eating off each others plates as if they were a married couple, each picking out which they like.

Below.....very messy (still in church clothes) Butler boys after playing outside with Topham boys and their very messy, jumpy dog, Duke.

Sweet little girlies again below with as many baby dolls as they could find/carry?

AGAIN.....can't stop photographing these two. Sweet little girlies deciding that they were having a sleepover together and had many reasons why this should happen. xo

To top off such a wonderful day, we had the most magnificent full moon in such a beautiful shade of orange, that I had to stop, get out and take a photo.

xo to all!
