We went to visit John's Grandparents on our way to Cedar.
they live in Gunnison where John was Born. This is such a great picture of Grandpa Pickett when I took the picture john knew it would be a good one. so he handed me his phone so he could have one too. only thing was I am sort of a loony and I pushed the end button instead of the take button. It was so bright outside that I couldn't see the screen anyways and never noticed that I didn't get it. We proceeded inside and went on with our visit. about an hour in John gives me a death stair from across the room. "Where is the picture you took?" john says trying to stay calm "I can't find it on my phone" I try to sound calm as I explain that I probably never took it. I then tell him not to worry because I took a few shots with my camera. to this john was lets just say disappointed. I guess he believed that I had been using my 10 pixel phone camera which is why he had handed me his iphone in the first place. thankfully I was able to produce a good quality photo from my sony camera and not loose this proof of a great moment in family history.
knoxx was able to meet his Great Grandma pickett for the first time. unfortunately this picture wasn't as lucky as the one with grandpa. so excuse the blurry Knoxx
We then proceeded to Cedar where we stayed for a few days.
we got to see Maria cheer at a Football game.
we loved seeing our families and all too soon it was time to head home.
we came home to our Beautiful Houston. Rocklond isn't playing soccer but we had a family friend give us a bag of old clothes full of soccer gear and after rocklond got all dressed up I just about signed him up to play he looked so cute
I was also lucky enough to host this months book club. I made cheese cake and it turned out beautiful and yummy.
I want to do a date night with some friends and do a cheesecake factory theme where I make all of the cheese cake and we save ourselves the drive and $$$
I also made these cute little lemon tarts. the pictrue doesn't do them justice they were adorable. thank you Kari for letting me borrow the little pans and the Idea in the first place.
and here is the fancy table for my royal guests.
we read the Goose girl by Shannon hale
it is great to be home and I am looking forward to a relaxing week.
