Pa Gary and Grandma Eileen Come for a April Visit :)

So in early April my parents were able to come out for another visit!  It was starting to warm up and the boys were super excited to see them and hang out together.  We are so blessed that our parents have been so awesome to come out and visit us!  Makes the distance so much easier and we really have a fun time.  And we have so many new adventures that we all get to enjoy together.
Of course goofing around is always the first priority and my little monkeys are very good at it.  :)
But then AJ had to take a little break to give his Grandma some love :)
The boys have discovered that phones can have some really fun games.  They really loved the bowling game that Pa had and often asked to play with it.  :D
More cuddle time
Then everyone wanted to get a picture of themselves on my camera...AJ went for goofy
Jake went for sweet
And my mom went for fun.  I love this picture of her, my new favorite :)
Errands were so much more fun to run with Grandma and Pa
AJ hanging with Pa and his phone
and enjoying time with Grandma too :)
On a trip to Stillwater to see OSU we stopped at a Western Wear place and the boys loved it!  AJ of course liked the cowboy hats!
Jake liked the boots....and as  you can see there were a LOT
Great times with Grandma and Pa
Then off for a stroll at Bricktown
I love how checking out a fountain can be such a hit
They loved it when the water went super high
My wonderful family :)
The boys found their favorite toys at Bass Pro Shop
My parents were also here for one of Jake's swim lessons.  It turned out to be a really cool one too as Jake was the only kid in his class who showed up that day and they accidentally had two teachers.  So he got to do a lot of fun stuff.  Like learn how to jump from a boat and just float around.  :D
Although his favorite is always jumping from the diving blocks.  He could do this for hours.  :D
As it was also before Easter Grandma Eileen thought it would be fun to die Easter eggs with the boys, they loved it!!!
So many great colors to chose from, and the crown....who knows :)   Jake had gotten it at school and I guess thought it was perfect for dying eggs with  hehe
AJ was all excited to see the eggs turn bright colors...
....but as a typical 2 year old, he got a little bored waiting for it to happen :)
Beautiful eggs and two proud boys :)
AJ was so excited he danced
Jake just loved that he got to decorate them with Spiderman :)
Cholcolate Chip Cookies!!!  My boys always love to bake.  On this morning AJ discovered trying the chocolate chips before putting them in the cookie dough.  This picture was taken at his first bite...as you can see, he really liked them :)
We finally talked them into putting the chips in the dough before they were all eaten.  hehe
We're getting there
And the best part of all...testing them out.  The cookies were enjoyed by all.  :)
While they were here AJ also got to ride his big boy bike for the very first time!  He was super excited as he wants to be just like his big brother.
Hitting the road
Jake was excited to show off his skills to his Pa
And AJ loved that Pa helped him to ride for the first time.
"Look Mom, no hands!"
Not to be outdone by his brother..."Look Mom, no feet!"  hehe
Cute family picture with their Grandma and Pa
One day while Jake was at school we took a trip to the local grocery store.  While we were walking through the parking lot AJ spotted this fire truck and went with his Pa to get a closer look.  When the firefighter saw him he got out and asked AJ if he wanted to climb inside.  We had one super excited little boy.  Such a nice firefighter!  :)
Cuddle time with Pa
I think the little guy is pretty happy :)
The boys also both got Batman PJs from their Grandma and Pa as part of their Easter gift.  Jake was very excited
And AJ was beyond excited...
especially since his has a cape.  Have no fear citizens, we are safe with Batman AJ in the world.  :D
I love my family and it was so much fun to have my parents here for a fun visit.  And while it was hard to see them go, we made so many great memories and those will be forever treasured!!!
