Weekend with Grandma Bev!

Emerson, Blake, Reese, Jenna and Colby giving Grandma big congratulatory hugs!!

Cal's Mom flew into Edmonton on Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with us and run in the Hypo 1/2 marathon on Sunday morning.  The kids were very excited to have Grandma Bev sleep over at our house :)  

We met the Stony Plain Cameron's for dinner on Friday night after Blake, Em and Reese's swimming lessons.  I picked Bev up at the airport around 4, so missed swimming lessons but my parents were able to help Cal out so none of the kids missed their last lesson of this session!  Thanks again Mom and Dad :)

Saturday afternoon Cal and Blake headed to the Oiler's game and Bev, the girls and I headed to Kingsway for some retail therapy!!  The boys had a great time at the game, Blake came home very excited, telling us all about overtime, the shootout and the Oiler's win!  We had fun at the mall, the girls were very good and Bev found some great deals at her favorite store.

Sunday morning Cal drove Bev to her race and later we all went back to see her cross the finish line!  It was a very nice day out, much warmer then in 2008 when Cal ran the Hypo 1/2.  She later told us that it was really nice to see Cal, Gerry, Lesley and I and all our kids waiting for her at the finish line :)  After the race, we came home for lunch and were then off to Blake's hockey game!  He had a great game, his 1st two shifts were the best we'd ever seen!!!  Bev flew home later Sunday evening.

We had a great weekend!  The kids were sad to see Grandma go, we will have to make a trip to G.P. soon :)
