my lady bug time with her great grandparents...

lady bug,

 today you got to spend some quality time with your great grandparents. gma n gpa stout live in Prescott AZ. even though they live 6 hours away they stayed here for 2 weeks waiting for you to come because they were so excited to meet you.

grandma beth is the BEST hugger! i love her hugs so much

grandpa used to take all of us up and down the stairs and say a loop-d-doodaly-doop-de-do

he is so great, there was at least 5 of us at a time and he would go up and down for each of us a few times until he couldn't do it anymore. he is a special grandpa and i am so excited he is here to see you learn and grow and to teach you.

mommy loves her grandparents so much. they are always there and do everything they can for their family. they are amazing examples of living the gospel. they have served many missions and give their all in their callings. you couldn't ask for better family
