Sweet Treat for the Week

Jode's mom and step dad came in last week and will be with us for the most of this week. 
They came to see our house and to just spend some time...it's been wonderful...it always is. 
My Mother in Law is such an encouragement to our family_always has been.
She usually raves about whatever I'm making_ decorating_ etc. and I respect her opinion so much.

It's been a time of relaxing_ eating good food_ (FIL can cook up a mean hamburger) 
and catching up on some good lovin'.
We went downtown the other day to show them the area and I was a happy girl because I got to take some pictures of everyone.
I have very few pics of my Mother in Law and none of just her and I together.


It started out good. But...


it usually ends up like this. Those 2 play around with each other like their the same age.


We had some friends over on Sunday to eat some of those mean hamburgers FIL cooks. 
They said they really thought me & MIL favored. More so than hubs and her... I say... I will take that compliment any day.






This was their attempt at jumping... I think the girls were the only ones that made it off the ground.


Anyhoo, I've kinda been MIA round' here lately so I just wanted to give a quick update as to what's been happening in our world. Still just getting adjusted to everything. But having family here with us this week has been a sweet treat. And I like anything "sweet". :)

Linking up today with Jami for

    I was just thinking about you last night and was going to check on you today! I know yall have been super busy with the move and I am glad to know everything is going good!! I love that you have a strong relationship with your mother-in-law, I really admire that. My husband does not have a relationship with his mother (only step mother and still not a great one) and his father has passed away. I do however have a great relationship with my own parents and my sister's in laws which is fun!
