Visit from Tutu & Uncle Map AKA Pat

Starting this post out with my sassy lil Tator bug in the morning on Wednesday!

And my sweet boy that is so good about posing!

Tator always comes home with cute pony tails from the Alexander house!  She looks so old with her hair up!

Our colorful new rug for the office that I am updating a bit for the kiddos!

 Sky worked later on Thursday and I didn't feel like cooking so we met Ashley, Conley and Crew at BJs for dinner!  Needless to say the kiddos had fun!

We wrapped up Thursday playing with the kids' new water shooters!  Who knew a bucket of water could create such a great time!

Tutu and Uncle Map arrived late Thursday (way after our bedtime)...but the kids woke up beyond excited!  For whatever reason, Tator calls Uncle Matt, Pat and Grey still calls him Uncle Map!  I'm not sure his name will ever be Uncle Matt!  Sky worked until early afternoon on Friday so we all just hung around the house...breakfast on the deck, fun with water, and lots of chillaxing!

We finally pulled ourselves together and headed out at about 6pm.  Our 1st stop was Dicks.  Sky used his gift cards from his family to buy a start set of golf clubs!  Meanwhile, Tatum used the putting green as her stage to sing and dance!

We can never have a visit from Tutu without a stop at Toys R Us!  The kids both got to pick out some toys and then we headed to Olive Garden for some dinner!  

Tatum ate an entire bowl of salad!  She had pizza and fries for her dinner, but she chose salad!  What the what!?!?!?!

We could not pass Krispy Kreme...the light was on duh!

The family that wears Krispy Kreme hats together stays together!  Ha!

Saturday morning the boys golfed while Tutu and I played with the kids outside!  All they wanted to do was play in the water!

Grey is a goof just like his dad!

We planned on going to the Clippers baseball game, but the weather turned, so we opted for the Hamburger Inn!

And finished our night at Dairy Point!  

Those smiles just light up my world!

We really didn't do much special, but we just have so much fun together!

Sunday morning we all went to church!  The kids had to wear their matching Aloha outfits!

We headed to Kroger after church and ate lunch there!  The kids were raring to go so we ran around outside while the others finished eating.  They are just so much fun!

After spending some time in the sun, Greg and Dani stopped over to visit with sweet Baby Charlotte.

How bout this pic of these sweet girl cousins!

Sunday evening we made Miso chicken and watched the Cavs lose a rough Game 5.

Monday Sky had to work so the rest of us just hung out.  Tatum had a blast making Uncle Pat sweat chasing her in the motorized truck!  Ha!

We were sad to see them go, but so thankful to have the visit.  The joy in the kids' eyes when they spend time with Tutu and their Uncles is just priceless.  It breaks my heart that we don't live closer.  Grey didn't give Tutu a minute to breathe and she loved every second.  She role played, acted like a bat, chased Grey up and down the steps, around the house....you name it and she did it with Grey.  Grey didn't want to leave the house because the ideal time was just playing his Tutu!  We are already looking forward to our next visit...whenever that might be!
