My fun day with Dax and Kin

Shana already blogged about this but I just had to do so myself too.
Dax spent the night with us last Sunday. While he was here we read books and he played with Papa and Kori and Troy. I could tell he was getting tired so I put him in our big king size bed. He loves to snuggle so I got real close and put my arm around him. He was laying on a stuffed catapillar thing for his pillow but he didn't want my head to touch it. After a little while I was sorta uncomfortable trying to snuggle but have my head off his catapillar so I moved a little bit. Well, he didn't like that. He grabbed my arm and put it over him again but told me I couldn't put my head where his was. Oh, he's a character. Well, the little stinker finally fell asleep. I love looking at children when they're sleeping so I stared at him for quite some time. Wondering what he was dreaming about. I always wonder if they're going to always love coming to our home and spending time with Papa and Grandma. I sure hope so.
The next morning we got up and I told him I would make him anything he wanted and he chose pancakes and eggs. Knowing how much he loves chocolate, I asked him if he would like chocolate chip pancakes. He had a huge grin on his face from ear to ear. (he's like grandma and is a chocoholic). He got to sprinkle the chocolate chips on each one. He loved them!!!
We spent the morning shopping and buying him some clothes and shopping for the other grandkids. He would hold something up and tell me how cute it was and that Makinley would love it. He's quite the shopper as Shana has already mentioned. He had to hold my hand everywhere we went too and I just love that.
It was time to go pick up Makinley from pre-school so we waited in the back yard for her. She knew I was coming to pick her up and I guess she was pretty excited because her teacher told me that's all she talked about. When she saw me she came running and yelling "Grandma, Grandma, I have missed you so much." My heart melted. (I had just seen her the day before but she still missed me!!)
We headed off to Wendys for lunch. They're quite the pair. But an elderly lady came up to Makinley and told her what a beautiful little girl she was then turned to Daxton and said how handsome he was. Makinley then put her hands on her hips and said "And he's a good man too." I just about died. The lady in return said "I bet he is." We laughed so hard. The things that come out of childrens mouths!! I spent the rest of the day and every day since thinking of that and laughing and sharing it with others who also laughed. He is a good man that's for sure.
I loved spending my day with them and seeing them interract with each other. I want to share many more days like that. My heart is so filled with love for my grandchildren. I can not wait for our 5th one to arrive. I"m biting at the bit to find out what Troy and Kori are having because I want to start buying things for them. On Oct. 12th we'll find out the news.
Thanks to Daxton and Makinley for making my day so much fun!!!! I love you!!

Well, they had a blast too with Mimah. Daxton always says, "Mimah this, Mimah that... I want to sleep with Mimah in her big bed again..." etc... Thanks for taking him again. I know that he loved it! And YES, they will ALWAYS LOVE going to Mimahs!

That is so adorable. I wish we had grandma near by. The grandkids need that so much. When Hannah went to stay with my parents this summer she got to eat ice cream for breakfast. How's that for a grandma breakfast. It's fun to spoil them with love and affection. Your the best Chris. I have new pics on my blog.
