Visit with Grandma and Grandpa

So once every 3-4 months Sam and I do a "getaway." We leave the kids with our parents for a night and get a hotel. The rule of the first night is: food and fun. We go on a nice long date. That usually means Bombay House, our favorite restaurant, a movie, Coldstone. . .

The next morning is all about business. We discuss our family goals, schedule, finances, etc. It's so great to get away, but it's also really nice to have time away from home to take a look at our lives and make plans. We often look at the upcoming year, and break it down into quarterly and monthly chunks.

Anyway, this time around we were lucky enough to have my parents back from their mission. They watched the kids during the night, and Sam's mom and her husband took them the next day. Here are pictures from the fun:

This bird was eating a mouse on our back fence.

Jacob having breakfast (note my mom's home made roll--yum).

Ada on the i-phone. Not sure if this is real or his fake one.
