the in-laws

we were so excited to have grandma and grandpa crane in town for a visit. one of the great things about living in provo is that we get to see a lot of family...for some reason, everyone keeps coming back to utah. i took as many pictures as i could, and then realized that most were of sofia. as usual.

they flew in friday evening, just in time for dinner. we enjoyed a nice "salsa verde chicken taco" night. saturday morn we had an early french toast breakfast. pauline was having trouble drinking the smoothies...sofia so kindly let her borrow her bib...

i love how sofia is giggling in the back...

sofia's in to "high fives" and "pound its." so is grandpa.

we made plans to go up to SLC and visit the city creek mall, and have a late lunch with grandma ruth. we LOVED having an excuse to go back and spend more time at that amazing mall. i love an excuse for shopping. but, before we headed up to salt lake, we visited tia ashley at her apartment...

seriously, if you have a balloon at your house, she will be entertained for hours.

this girl seriously loves her daddy. this new baby boy better love me more because i get so jealous of these two..

she will never do any wrong in his eyes. and she knows it.

aside from all her high fives and pound its, she also is really in to kissing people on the lips (besos)...

then stopped at the BYU bookstore. i think we really only go there when dave and pauline are in town, which is sad because i LOVE this place, for some reason...

then off to SLC to Market Street Grill...

we then celebrated a nice mothers day together with french dip sandwiches, pasta salad, corn on the cob and chocolate cheesecake.

i feel like i was cooking and cleaning the entire week. but it was sooo worth it. grandma and grandpa crane, we sure do love you. we are so lucky to have you visit us. we get to see pauline next month when the babes born, and then both of them again in july for the crane annual family reunion! seriously...we are so blessed. once we go off to phd school, outside of utah...i'm sure no one will visit us anymore. until then, we'll enjoy every minute spent with our loved ones.
