Lawson Riley's Spoil Me Rotten Weekend!

We have a tradition started with our grandchildren that is very fun and hopefully it is making wonderful memories for the children - it certainly is for this Nene and Poppy.

Each year on their birthday - our grandchildren are treated to a "Spoil Me Rotten" weekend with Nene and Poppy! This weekend is ALL about the child - and packed full of FUN.

Lawson turned 6 in August - so a couple of weeks back, we went to Branson and shared a weekend.

Lawson is all boy! He is a bundle of energy and always in motion. From the moment he opens his eyes in the morning, until he reluctantly closes them at night - Lawson goes full BLAST! He doesn't miss anything - even when one thinks he isn't paying attention - well - trust me - he is fully aware!

Lawson's big smile is contagious! He has a face like a cherub.

He looks at you with those big green eyes and then flashes his big smile and finishes it off with an "I love you Nene." I immediately melt like butter. He is lots of fun and loves to tease and play jokes.

Lawson is going to be brilliant. How do I know? I know because he asks 100's of QUESTIONS - all day long. He is a chatterbox. He makes me smile and brings great joy into my life. I love spending time with him.

While we were in Branson, we went swimming, saw the Dinosaur movie on the big IMAX screen, visited a very scary haunted house, went to Bass Pro Shop (climbed on every single boat on display and watched them feed the fish in the big tank), we walked along the river and threw rocks, did a little bit of shopping (only fun stores though) and managed to eat a lifetime's worth of candy, ice cream, pizza and McDonalds!

Unfortunately, Nene did not have her new camera yet - Lawson, Poppy and I managed to squeeze into a photo booth and have our picture taken.
Look at these rebels!!!




















Here are some of my very favorite "Lawson 6 year old pictures" - Look at that precious face!

Lawson Riley - I am so glad that God chose me to be your Nene! I am the luckiest Nene in the World! I love you - you make my heart happy.........
