Mystery babysitter

My sister Kim and her husband Morgan had the opportunity to go to Europe with Morgan's family and so my mom came to town to watch her kids. In true Kim fashion, she made it a fun game for her kids to find out who they were going to have babysit them while they were away. My mom flew in Friday afternoon and Kim's family didn't get here until evening. So we dressed my mom up in a robe, a wig and glasses and had her come ring the doorbell. She talked like the Super Nanny and asked if there was anyone here who requested a nanny :) Savannah immediately knew it was Grandma and screamed and hugged her right away! It has been so fun because after Kim and Morgan left Saturday my mom stayed until Sunday evening. We had a packed weekend complete with Gavin's soccer game, the BYU Young Ambassadors performance, and extra house guests. :) Two of the Young Ambassadors stayed with us and one of the rules is that they each needed their own room....so we had one of them in the guest room, one in Emma's room, and then the rest of us crammed into the last 2 bedrooms - 5 to a room. Let's just say we bonded this weekend :) It has been a blast! I can't wait until my mom comes back Thursday or Friday with Kim's kids!




Gavin had to try the wig too :)






The girls were the cheerleaders at Gavin's game!
