I really cannot believe it is the end of February. We have spent all week here in Payson babysitting Travis’ four boys (ages 1½ to 11). It snowed most of one day, but nothing stayed on the ground in the valley. It kind of feels like we are back in Idaho after being in Wikieup the last six weeks.
It has been fun with the boys. I think they have taken their turns thinking I am a mean grandma, making them go to bed on
time (most of the time), saying no to some of their requests, and not always feeding them their favorite foods. But we have had fun going to ball games and practices, going to kindermusic (with Josh the 1 ½ year old), going to a book fair, taking them to school, picking them up from school, going to Church, eating pizza out, watching movies, playing games, reading books, and just getting to know each other better. It has brought back a lot of memories of raising our four little boys (along with the two tail-end girls.) We can certainly see why we have our children when we are young. I hope Shannon finds things in order when they get back. The pantry and fridge are empty, the boys’ drawers may have the wrong clothes in them, the towels are probably all folded wrong, and Grandpa has taught Josh a few new words and told the boys a few new tales, but it has been fun staying in their beautiful new home and being Grandma and Grandpa. Travis and Shannon arrive in Phoenix Airport early Friday morning and we will probably leave by noon to get back to Wikieup before dark. We will miss those boys, but we are anxious to see how things are at our little winter home.

I'm sure the boys have loved getting to know their grandma and grandpa better. You guys really haven't got to spend that much time with them before. I can't wait for the opportunity for my kids to be able to spend more time with you, too. We all are very excited to see you in a couple of weeks!!
