Visit with Nana and Poppy

Nana and Poppy came out to visit at the end of May for Anna's birthday.  While they were here, we snapped a few pictures of them with the peanut gallery.  For Anna's birthday, Nana and Poppy gave her her very own iPod.  Not to be outdone, Lauren started planning for her iPod on her next birthday.  Nana and Poppy decided not to wait and sent Lauren's early.  Speaking of early, look at our little girl's missing top tooth.  It was loose, newly loose, only slightly tightly loose and then one night it was out.  We had gone to the Disney store the day before and Lauren wanted the Queen Elinor bear from the movie Brave but didn't have enough money to get it.  I have a sneaking suspicion that the not so loose, loose tooth may have been pulled before its time just so the tooth fairy could come for a visit.  

 My stepdad checked this bridge for snakes before he and the kids stood there.  I'm so glad he did as a lady walked by a few minutes later and told us there is a rattlesnake that likes to curl up around the last post of said bridge.  Yikes!  There were so many snakes out that day.  My stepdad came across another rattlesnake and dropped a rock on it to get it moving and out of the way.  Ever since then, just out of the blue Jacob will hold up his index finger and will randomly say, "That snake, he's mad at Poppy.  He doesn't like having a rock dropped on him." Haha!  I also have to laugh because as I was going through this series of pictures, I must have taken about 20 to get Jacob to look at the camera and smile.  His expressions are hilarious and change from second to second from angry to elated from one frame to the next.

 We sure do love our Nana and Poppy and wish we could spend more time with them.  Poppy told Lauren she might get to spend part of the summer in Alabama next year and asked her what she thought about that.  She responded that she wanted to spend two months instead of one.  He asked her what she would do in two months and she replied, "The same thing I would do in one month but just more of it!"
