Gammy & Papa Pond come to visit...

Going for a walk w/ Papa

Tiny just chillin' w/ Grammy

Passed out after going to the Jumping Junction w/ Grammy & Papa and playing with them most of the afternoon.

This is the funny face she pulls when she's eating something she really likes, or is just excited about.  She scrunches up her nose and breathes in and out really fast...it's so dang funny.  :)

Doing a craft with Grammy

Playing in the common's area at Homer High School.  She was crawling really well after that ball.

In the Homer High School Gym...Tiny is eyeing Grammy's noodles.  :)

Hanging out in the gym...Papa actually got her to sleep for a little bit.

Because it's Shayne's last year of coaching high school basketball for awhile, he asked his mom & dad to come up and watch him coach some of his last games.  They never missed any of his basketball games when he was in high school, and he thought they'd like to come see him coach.So, they came up the last week of February and watched a couple of games.

One game was at Skyview against Kenai, and one down in Homer.  Unfortunately, they lost to Kenai, even though they had beaten them at Kenai earlier in the year.  But, they beat Homer at Homer in a single overtime.  Last year they lost in a double overtime, so the boys were ecstatic they beat them this year.  So, was Shayne.

We were supposed to get a massive snow storm on the way back, but we stayed just ahead of it, so it wasn't too bad driving.  However, it DUMPED that night and all the next day, Sunday.  Luckily Shayne's parents flew out early Sunday before we got the worst of it.  And when I say worst...I mean 18-24".

They were only here for about 5-6 days, but it was fun to have them here.  It's always nice to get any sort of break this time of year when I'm starting to go crazy because of the darkness and basketball.  Shayne loved having them here as well.

They spent lots of time with Shordy & Tiny, which was a win-win situation for everyone.   :)  Both the kids warmed up pretty quick to having Grammy & Papa around.  Shordy loved going for rides with Papa especially because he would take him to McDonald's and get him ice cream.  One day Grammy & Papa took him to Jumping Junction and then to McDonald's...talk about a good day for Shordy.  :)

Tiny just loved having two extra people to shower her with attention and smiles.  She's  not real cuddily but she does love to talk and play and interact with people.

I definitely wish we lived closer so we could spend more time with grandma's & grandpa's, but we make the most out of the time we do get, that's for sure.
