After Eva's blessing last weekend my mom stayed an extra week to visit. For those of you who don't know my mom, I'm sorry. She is the most patient and loving woman I have EVER met (she had to be to put up with us eight kids :)! She spoiled us pretty good, and we just loved having her around. We had a blast with her here...just reading books, and hanging out. I really appreciated her making dinner everynight too (except for her birthday of coarse)! Thanks mom, we already miss you!
She also treated us with a trip to the butterfly house, and introduced Aubrey to the carousel (which took some warmig up to). Here are some pics from the week.
This is not a good picture of the four of us girls, but it was dang hot in there and the only one we were able to get. I'm sure I'll look back in 10 years and not care how we looked, we're just grateful for the memory!
The butterfly house was awesome! They had an atrium that housed over 80 species of butterflies that just fly all around you! It was beautiful! We were hoping one would land on Aubrey's shoulder, but once we saw how excited she got and actually picked one up by it's wings (a big no-no in the butterfly house) we decided it was better for Aubrey to just observe. Oh yeah, don't ask me any of these species names. I could look them up, but who has that kind of time ;)
This last one is atually a moth. A HUGE moth! It's amazing that they only live for 5 short days...all part of a bigger plan I suppose. 
Aubrey loved having grandma here to read so many books to! Thanks to grandma Aubrey now knows all about "choo choos" and can say scissors (lets just hope she doesn't get her hands on any anytime soon)! Thanks grandma for being such a great teacher!
Check out the cheese on this one. Random sidenote: Aubrey loves to take the camera and hold it up to her face like she's taking a picture and say 'SMILE' (and I think it is the cutest thing ever). Maybe she'll be a photographer. Goodness knows she could never be a model the way she refuses to look at the camera to get a picture!
This is how Aubrey feels about grandma leaving...come back soon Grandma -- WE LOVE AND MISS YOU (and bring grandpa back with you :)!
