So Papa What Shoud We Do?


How about a horsey ride?


No let's wrestle!


No matter what the ages, boys will be boys.



I love being a mom, truly I do. And I think that one of the best things about being a mom is watching your parents as Grandparents. It just makes me heart happy.

Oh Jen, what a great thing to say. So true - it is great seeing your parents as grandparents.

Those pictures are so precious. They brought tears to my eyes. We have no "Papas" left in our family and that is a hard thing. You are very blessed.

Kat said...

I am all sappy this morning and that brought tears to my eyes. They all look so happy.

Heather said...

Love the pictures, Jen.

How blessed your babies are to have their papa to play with.

Isn't that the best though? I have a much better relationship with my parents now as they are grandparents than when they were parenting me. I guess they'll never stop parenting me but I did stop being a child and that made the world of difference.

Many of our children's most precious memories are with their grandparents. I'm thankful for that!

My kids' grandparents are all too old for horsing around like that... and just not much fun in general...

Brandy said...

Great pictures. Those will be ones that the kids will treasure later in life.

Too cute! I love watching my boys with their grandparents. It is SUCH a special thing. I didn't get to see my grandparents much growing up, so it is SO important to me that my boys get to live near both sets of grandparents. Just can't beat that time!

Susan said...

I LOVE to watch my daughter with her grandparents, too. I have to say, though... poor Papa!!
; )

(hey, thanks for missing me...!)

Gretchen said...

Wow, you always have your camera at just the right time!

Those pics are great! And your family sounds so fun.

Blythe said...

It's so great that their grandfather wants to play with them like that. They're very lucky!

I know parents become different people when they become grandparents. It seems that there are different rules if any rules at all. They become children again. I love it.

Alicia said...

Ahh! How sweet!! There's something about watching your own Daddy love your kids that just makes my heart melt, thanks for sharing the tender pics!!

Oh, I absolutely could not agree more. Watching how happy our kids make our parents is really one of life's wonderful gifts.

Oh, and I see that you are going to SITScation!? Hooray! So are we. Absolutely cannot wait to meet you in real life. How exciting. :)

papa's are the best...my dad watched the girlies while i went to p's grad/recognition today. in 2 hours, they had driven the barbie jeep, taken walks, eaten 2 suckers, then breakfast and had a snack....of chips!

I love seeing my dad with my son. He enjoys it so much. He hasn't had a lot of time lately, but when he does, he loves it. these are great photos and a great post.

Jenn said...

I love seeing my parents with my boys. I don't know what I would do without them, and not just because of the free babysitting! I love to see them snuggle and laugh and get spoiled by Nana and Bumpa.

CaraBee said...

Absopositivelutely true! It just gives me happy little shivers when I see boys wrestling around with their dads/granddads.

Nicole said...

The boys look so cute in their "dressed up" clothes. Sweetness! And yes, I LOVE seeing my parents as grandparents. My dad especially. He's such a softie even though he tries to pretend he's the grumpy ol' grandpa!

These pictures are beautiful and so full of love & energy.
I so completely agree that it's fantastic to get to see my parents be grandparents. It does warm the heart :)

Helene said...

Awwww, those pics just make my heart melt! So sweet!!!! Your dad seems like such an awesome grandpa!!

How is that I never noticed your little note on your header that says something about remembering to medicate the children before bed??!! That's hysterical!!

AiringMyLaundry said...

I love the pictures.

I can't wait for my kids to see their Grandpa. They will at the end of the month!

Emily said...

Too cute! Looks like he's got about as much energy as the little guys do!

Unknown said...

These are wonderful pictures! Even though I haven't made my parents 'grandparents' yet...I am already just tickled pink thinking they might have that opportunity soon and knowing how wonderful they will be!
