Grandma Rhonda's Visit

 We were blessed this weekend with the presence of Rhonda (Josh's Mom) and we took every opportunity to spend quality time as a family ;c)
I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to expose Josh, Rhonda and the boys to Chevy's! I am a fan of the dough balls ... The boys were a fan of trying to eat them! I also indulged in a long island ice tea.. and maybe a strawberry margarita as well...haha

While we dined, we struck up a conversation with a woman and her son siting at a table close by... She kept commenting on how cute the boys were and how wonderful of a family we were as well ;c) As we were getting ready to leave, a server came over to let us know that our meals had been paid for by THAT woman! I couldn't believe it! Who does that these days? It really made me appreciate life just a little bit more and feel the need to 'pay it forward'

I had the pleasure of sitting in the middle of the boys in the back ;c) It was neat to hang out with them and keep them entertained...

On our little adventure out, we hit Babies R Us and got the boys some summer clothes!!!

 Then of course it was time to try and take a photo in a new cute outfit... Cash got tired, which marked the end of that show...
 Bentley was a bit hyper but eventually settled down for a nap...

Rhonda made a fabulous dinner for us! Lemon chicken, acorn squash, yams, angel hair pasta and a salad!!! YES, we were stuffed! Even the boys enjoyed some veggies!


SUNDAY
 The boys started off the day wrestling with their Daddy and enjoying the sun shinning through the blonds! 
Perfect day to go outside! Hmm... lets go to Farmer's Market in P-town... yes!!!
 
I just adore wandering around Portland enjoying the weirdness.. Saw a hacky sack guy, a couple jugglers, and a variety of other arts and crafts...

For lunch we had some hand dipped corn dogs, onion rings and a couple beers.. CHEERS!

Even the boys enjoy a little snack time ;c) Oh, and we FINALLY found them some hats!!!

Towards the end of our journey we grabbed a couple snow cones... LOVE THEM!!!

On the way back, we stopped by the craft store so I could try to find some feathers to create a similar clip in I had just paid $15 for!

Unfortunately I could not find any long feathers.. BUT for 12 dollars I got a ton of feathers to play with haha


Even Rhonda was a champion and let me put one in her hair.. Thanks ;c)

We had a wonderful weekend! Thank you Rhonda for the visit!

I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

    And that story of the woman you paid for you meals was awesome! What a sweetheart :)
