This is the best picture I got. Oh, the love that kids have for their Grandmas. Nothing compares.We had the best 2 days we have had in a long time. My parents got in after a long, grueling drive from Montana on Tuesday night. They stayed for a glorious 2 days, and then left to drive halfway home today. My dad is always busy with church stuff, and work, so it's hard for him to take extended vacations. We are so so so glad that Dad was able to come with my mom though. I have missed them so much lately. We were able to do some fun things, but mainly, we just enjoyed being with them every minute of the day. My kids have never been able to spend a lot of time with them, and Taylee, especially, really bonded with Grandpa Hamblin. Dad watched the kids while my mom accompanied me to my Dr.'s appointment, and I think that really helped. The kids loved riding in Grandpa's big, red truck, and Jake is convinced that our next vehicle needs to be a truck now. We'll see about that. We spent a little time at the Bellevue Square mall, which is pretty high class, and expensive. My dad about lost his mind, while my mom couldn't get enough of all the designer purse stores. Yesterday we went to Crossroads for a little while to get the kids out, and have some fun riding quarter rides, and then we went to the new Snoqualmie Casino Buffet for an early dinner. The food was sooo great. I would recommend it to anyone. It had a great big selection, yummy desserts, great service, and it's such a beautiful building. Jake even resisted inserting a quarter while we were walking through the slots. We rounded out the night by doing a little Karaoke on the X-Box. I forgot how much I loved to hear my parents sing together. I am still crying from the blessing that Dad and Jake gave me this morning. It is so great to have such loving parents, and at least I know that Mom will be back when this new baby arrives.
The kids really loved Missy. She's such a great dog, that it almost made me want to get one someday.
Kids being silly with Grandpa
Missy again. Taylee, who is usually very scared around animals, could not get enough.
This picture is right outside of the restaurant at the Casino. My mom made me edit her out of this picture. I think she looks great, but she swears she has a long ways to go.
Here we are, minus Jake, taking the picture.
They still look great together, after all these years. I love you Mom and Dad! Thanks again for making our week. You are the best!

I'm glad you were able to have your parents come. I know you've been missing them! It looks like you had a great time too. I'm happy for you! And that's great that you were able to get a blessing with your dad there. That's special. Everything will be ok.
You deserved a good visit Em. I'm so glad that they got to come and spend some time with you. How great that Tay wasn't afraid of Missy. Mom was so worried about that. How fun that Karaoke game looks. Mom and Dad kicked hiney I am sure. I'll be there soon to play some too. HOORAY!
Looks like so much fun. Your parents really are great.
I can totally see a resemblance between you and your mom- you guys have the same smile! Looks like fun, I love it when the parents are able to come up for a visit! Let's play sometime soon!
Very Fun! That's great you got a visit. My boys love seeing pictures of Taylee and Rohne. Hope all is well.
Oh my... your grandpa looks JUST like Blake's grandpa. I mean they could really be twins. I'll have to show his mom... it's crazy!
There may come a time when I can read this without crying, but it's not now. We loved being with you and your family and I am already planning for June. Thank you for all you did for us on our wonderful visit. We love you all.
It looks like you had a great couple of days. It makes me wish my parents were coming to see me soon! Glad you had fun. Super cute pictures by the way.
Aww, looks and sound like you all had so much fun!:) it's so nice to see your parents after not seeing them in so long:)
wow, you're 25 weeks already? How exciting! And how wonderful that you got a visit from your parents - and that your kids really bonded with them. I'm always worried the kids will act weird with family they don't get to see on a regular basis - but yours look like they relished their time with grandma and grandpa!
Parents are the best!!
It was good to see your parents, they look great, I haven't seen them forever. Your kids are darling, I could just eat Rohne. He makes me smile.
