Family Outing Part 2

Grandma and Grandpa Dutson arrived Wednesday afternoon.  And boy, was excitement in the air!! Our first stop was lunch! Grandpa was hungry so we all headed to Cafe Rio except me. I needed some new jeans, so I went shopping ALONE!!!! Of course it was fabulous but one pit fall: I had no one to give me an opinion of the jeans. Luckily there was one very sweet lady who helped me out. She told me both pairs looked great on me but the second ones made me "look even better, more skinny. You are already skinny but they really make you look even better." That put a smile on my face because anyone who's had a child and had a hard time getting the weight off will know how a compliment like that can just brighten your day!!!!

After lunch we headed to the Bean Museum on BYU campus to spend a little time with Ryan, Rachel (his fiancee) and her mom, step-dad and siblings. The boys loved the museum though it did take them some time to get used to the stuffed creatures.

I am not entirely sure what Pach is doing
but this picture puts a smile on my face.

This one also cracks me up. He is growling like the alligator!

And of course, there's Bacon. Always willing to smile, especially when there is a camera around. We joke that he could be our child model because when the camera starts flashing, his smile gets bigger and bigger!

Then it was back to the Game Center on campus for more "bowling ball". We played with 2 lanes this time. Grandma and the older boys in one and Tim, myself and Grandpa in the other. No one broke 100 this time though Zach came close with 98. He won again. I just laughed. Tim wanted a re-match from yesterday and he got one!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

This time he opted to push the ball from below the ramp. 

And they played in their socks again too!

The day ended with the girls: Claudia (grandma), Rachel, Tiffany (Rachel's mom), Ashley (Rachel's sister) and myself getting pedicures and/or manicures. The boys really liked my nails and kept saying, "I want to see your finger mom." Then they would touch each fingernail at a time and go, "awe!" and the same for each toe. Funny boys! They spent the evening driving around sleeping. They did end up getting ice cream but Tim drove around talking to Ryan while Grandpa and the boys took a cat nap.
