Grandpa Gary's Visit

Grandpa Gary came to visit his first grandson over Labor Day weekend.
It was so much fun to have him up in our home and spending some 
quality time with him. He was SO incredibly cute with Brady.
He LOVED to hold him and play with him, and was so sweet
that as soon as Brady started to fuss...he gave him right back to momma! 
Haha now I know where Michael gets that! :)
Gary kept commenting on how cute Brady was,
as if he couldn't believe it or something! :)
It was quite entertaining to see him play with Brady and even love up on
loose moose! Gary has cats at home in Ca so he didn't mind that Lucy wanted
to snuggle him at night! 
Gary was also able to come up and watch Michael coach and do what he loves.
It was so cool to see how proud Gary was of Michael. He beams from ear to ear
just talking to Mike about football. Guy stuff. 
And on Sunday we took Gary to Temple Square in SLC.
He was blown away by the architecture and all of the church buildings.
It was so much fun to walk around Temple Square with him and share just a little
bit of "Us" with him. I am so lucky to have Gary as a father-in-law.
He is such a sweet man, and complimented me ALL weekend long.
...Michael is so lucky to have you as his wife...
...Brady sure does love his momma...
...Brady got his momma's good looks....
...Brady has a great mom...
...You have such a warm home....
ETC....who wouldn't love all of those compliments??
It did wonders for my self-esteem :)
Can't wait to see you at Christmas Grandpa G!!



We love you Grandpa Gary!!

  1. OK I am commenting a little late on the football outfit. That is absolutely fantastic :) Where were they when my boys were babies? I am so happy that Gary got to go see Michael coach. Timpview vs Provo this Friday! We will have to meet up. And, how can you not love the Loose Moose?
