We love visitors!

Okay so some very exciting things have been happening around here! First off, my parents came to Sacramento to visit for the weekend :] They got here Thursday evening just in time to give Brady a hug and kiss goodnight. We had a very relaxing time here in Cali.

On Friday we slept in a little and hung around the house until about 11. We all piled in to my parents new 2013 Honda Accord Sport :] My dad was happy to take me for a spin in it and show off all the details. It was a very smooth ride, and my mom definitely deserved a new car after all these years! We strolled around the mall for a while and headed home to put Brady down for a nap. After, we went to Target to pick up a few things (seriously, who doesn't love Target?). It got up to 108 degrees on Friday and I was DYING. I enjoy my 75 degree weather much better. We grabbed a pizza for dinner and hung out at home watching a movie until Jordan got back from work. 

Saturday was our exploring day! My dad loves to go to pawn shops in Boise and look for guitars, amps, or whatever he can find. Meanwhile, my mom will look at the jewelry or a quilt store nearby. We mapped out our route and headed out after Brady's morning nap. First stop was a pawn shop downtown. They didn't have much as far as music, but they had a huge jewelry selection that my mom and I were checking out. 

Next stop was a little yarn store, Rumpelstiltskin. My mom was in heaven :]

They had so many different kinds of yarn, but she was specifically looking for sock yarn. She found one she loved and will make a pair of socks with it to always remember her trip to Sacramento! She is such a talented woman!! Meanwhile outside the store...

The boys waited patiently :] 

Our last stop was at another pawn shop close by. This was a legit pawn shop... You had to ring a door bell and they would look outside at you and then electronically open the door for just you. The workers were behind glass like at a movie theater, but I'm sure it was bullet proof. There were bars on the window too! It seemed like a sketchy area from all the security in the store haha. They had more of what my dad was interested in!

This time, Grammy and Brady were waiting around!

Oh and it got up to 108 degrees again on Saturday. So we were ready to head back to the air conditioned apartment after this! We had a fun time chatting and reflecting back on memories from my childhood. They gave me some advice on parenting with things they wish they would have done different, or things they liked doing. 

After Brady's nap, we met Jordan and the rest of the sales team at The Cheesecake Factory for a yummy dinner!

It was hard to say goodbye on Sunday after church, but we had such a fun time with them here in Cali!

OTHER EXCITING NEWS:

1 Brady has been eating solids for a few weeks now. He usually eats twice a day and will finish off a whole container of baby food throughout the day - on a good day. Over the weekend, our schedule was crazy and I wasn't as good about feeding Brady solids on schedule. Tonight I opened up a new jar of sweet potatoes and Brady ate THE WHOLE THING in one sitting!!! I was so happy. 

He got a little messy during the process :]

2 I ran today for the second time since I was pregnant with Brady. I have had a really hard time making time for myself and getting motivated to exercise. I ran for 22 minutes and it felt amazing :] More days like this will definitely be coming up.

3 Okay and just for fun :] Here are some pictures I took of Brady Sunday afternoon while Jordan was taking a little nap.

Love this little guy so much!
