A Week With Nana Rigby!!

First of all, I just want to thank you Dad (Grandpa Rigby) not only for organizing and scheduling the flight but for letting us steal your wife for an entire week! I love you Dad! (Next time you're coming out ok?) Thank you Annie for being patient with us, especially on your birthday!
I know this is cheesy, but words can't really express how much we enjoyed every single minute Nana was here. We have missed her so much! We miss family in general! I know we didn't really do anything exciting but my mom told me that all she really wanted to do was play with the kids and that is pretty much all we did!
I downloaded all the pictures and realized that Nana is only in a couple of them because she was the one taking all the pictures! Sorry mom, I wasn't paying attention!



Dinner at our favorite restaurant Boulder Creek with Nana. The wiki sticks are always a hit for Hailey and Kate.








The infamous ice cream sundae that we devoured in minutes!


The second we got home Nana pulled out her huge suitcase full of Easter goodies! The darling baskets have skirts on them that detach so that smiling little girls can wear them (much like my sweet little girls). Thank you Nana!!!









Hailey had way to much fun having Nana sleep in her room. During the night Hailey rolled over, put her arms around Nana and said, "Nana you can sleep in my bed for a long, long time. I love you!"








Costco ice cream!




Reading books in our new reading chair (thanks to John, man, what a steal on the price!)


We had to visit our one and only McDonald's







Hanging out with the Mendenhalls'
























Nana's Famous Mickey Mouse pancakes. Mom, I can't thank you enough for letting me sleep in every morning and feeding the girls breakfast! I was in heaven!

I also have to thank you for the delicious meals you cooked: homemade chicken noodle soup, fish and cocktail sauce, homemade rolls, homemade cinnamon rolls, and my favorite peach cobbler!!!












Nana found this swimsuit and cover-up at Costco. It was an obvious MUST HAVE!










Nana bought these darling dresses for the girls. THANK YOU! Can you tell these girls get spoiled?








Thank you Mom, WE LOVE YOU!

Dear John, Melanie, Hailey and Kate, I want to thank-you so much for the wonderful time I had being with all of you. The week just flew by and everytime I look at the pictures, I miss you more. I can't wait until you and the girls fly out in May! That's an extra thanks to you John!
Love, Mom Rigby
