A visit to great gma and great great gma

Adi and I took a quick weekend trip with Nana to see Granny and Gram. (Adi's great grandma and great great grandma).  It was gran's 80th birthday so we went to say hello!

I was so nervous to fly with Adi because the last time she flew she was only 2 months old so she slept almost the entire time.  She made lots of happy noises but she never cried or freaked out, hooray!! She liked to gnaw on the Delta cookies and play with the wrapper more than anything.  Going to California seemed a little easier than coming home, maybe because we were all just tired on the journey home.  We used anything and everything we could to keep her entertained since she just wants to move and go go go go go go! This is such a fun age but confined spaces are not easy!

Yum Yum, airplane cookies!

So entertaining on the flight
Anything can become a toy... whatever works!
cups too!

Once we made it to Gran's without problem, Adi was in heaven with all the new things to see and turn in to toys.  Adi loves anything with wheels so as soon as she saw Gram with her walker she LOVED to stand up on Gram's walker and check things out.  Of course I was panicked because I didn't want either one of them tumbling over on the hard tile floor! 100 years old and 8 months old is so unsteady! ha! Gram gave Adi Cheerios so they of course became best buds.  (Wheels and Cheerios, who wouldn't love their great great grandmother?)

Look mom! Wheels!
So much to see and do!
A loved to watch little Gram
Hovering mother hen... No one fall!!!

Happy girl with Nana and Gram

Nana and I LOVED the shopping in California.  We found the best baby boutique and it had everything I was looking for when I was planning Adi's nursery.  SOOOO frustrating since we made different decisions and compromised a lot but in the big picture it doesn't really matter but holy cow you Cali residents have it waaaaay better than baby capital of the US Utah.  You'd think with the way Utah folk pop out so many kids that we'd have state of the art, top of the line selection.... but we don't.  Irritating.  Anyway, Adi love the toys in the little boutique.  They had many fun things that we texted to Daddy back home and he just may have put in a last minute letter to Santa on some of the things... we will see!!!
Scramble  Bug! So cute and Adi loved sliding around the store

Look mom, more wheels!
Baby size shopping cart, love!

Just like back in May, it was so amazing to see these five generations all together.  Watching Gram with Adi is such an amazing treasure that we are so unique and blessed to have.

One of these things just isn't the same...

five generations

We can't wait for Christmas this year! Having a baby around really puts the meaning of Christmas back into it for us.  Ben and I have had so much more fun planning traditions and thinking of each other.

Oh! I almost forgot! I've been working on a photo project for a month now and was able to complete it this weekend! (Thank you Pinterest for the idea)

Our Five Generations!
