glory kids

My mom and dad AND my grandparents all spent the day with us on Friday. They came to town for Sissy's big Glory Kid's performance. It was the perfect weather and we spent the majority of the day outside.





I think Grandpa Jack is really embracing his Ethiopian great-grandson's heritage.







We found this baseball tee at a garage sale this morning. The boys love it!


















Nanny set the ball up for Mac no less than 50 times.








Macker is a natural slugger.










How do you like our grass... stupid grubs have taken over....

















Love for Grandma Marge.









Love for Grandpa Jack too.








At the play land.










The June my grandparents will have been married 70 years. Isn't that amazing?











I need to tell you that poor little Junie had TERRIBLE GAS, or as we call it at our house, piggiebums. The smell took over our entire section (right, Stephanie?!) and at first I thought it was my 91 year old grandparents... it was just Junie. People were crying with laughter. Remember.... he's been through a lot....




















Acting.

























Sweet moves.











Sissy on the big screen.



















Marching around Jerrico 7 times. (photo by my blog-stalking friend, Stephanie)








THE END!





















Sissy #1 fan.

















Grandpa Jack and Grandma Marge! (we loved having them)










Nanny and the babies.











3 little naughties. (that is Macker's nice smile)















The most special surprise was seeing Amelia's teacher. Earlier in the week Amelia and her friend Tyson had invited Miss. Campbell to the performance. When Amelia saw her it was such a sweet moment. I love Amelia's school and I'm so thankful for her loving teacher.

I was just going to comment on her shoes! Ha!

Great job, Amelia! I wish (seriously) that I could be in Glory Kids. Love that you get to be in the front! Next year, ask for a head mic.

Your parents and grandparents are adorable. So glad they could be there!
Sorry about Sir Stinks-A-Lot dropping the piggybums. My nose just twitched a little at the thought of it.
Sissy is such a great performer!
