Mattie Sue

Mattie Sue and Boo came to town!! What a fun surprise! After feeding them dinner, Mattie Sue and I drove over to Nama Dotty's apartment for a quick hug and kiss and ice cream. :)

(I have not edited any of these pictures because I somehow have a whole new photo program that is unfamiliar to me.) Due to the Lion program that Apple offered. Don't download it unless you know for sure what you are doing. 

Cindy to the rescue: I had a dr. appointment and so Cindy (what in the world would we do without Cindy) offered to take care of Mattie Sue. Mattie Sue said she loves her house because it's so neat and clean. hummm . and has a pool. 

 Here you see my little swimmer jumping...

 cannon ball...

then dive. She does free style, backstroke, and breast stroke like a champ.

 We dropped Poppy off at Bass Pro or Pro Bass and decided to go in as well. Mattie Sue was overwhelmed and wants to take her sister back when they come in Dec.

 One of the coolest places in town when the temps are in the 100's. 

We made sure the barbie doll saw all the stuffed animals throughout the place.

The Arnolds went on a camping trip not long ago and so Mattie Sue was interested in the camping section as well as the animals throughout the store. If you look hard you'll see Mattie Sue peeking in the tent window.

Needed a hunter here to explain why these animals were fighting.

Mattie Sue and this Elk ? or Deer were having quiet a conversation. I'm wishing Poppy was with us and not in the restaurant.

Well after our safari at Bass Pro we decided we were hungry so we spotted the golden arches and make a quick turn to visit "Old McDonald" as Sue says.

"Nama, I'm not sure I'd post this picture. I usually don't get this strawberry milk shake with my happy meal." But like I said what happens at Nama's stays at Nama's.

Mattie Sue is quite confused with this TX weather. It's burning hot outside and freezing cold inside. What's the deal. Yes mom, little pampering here in the lounger with dinner next to her. I went all out with spoiling her. :)

This is the sweet face I have seen in my rear view mirror since Thursday evening. 

Friday night was spent at Auntie Jessica's house with her Auntie Jenny, Uncle Rod, and Ryan and Sammy. Swimming, pizza, and fun with the cousins. You'll have to see the pictures of that evening on Jessica's blog.

Below we have two excited kiddos heading for the Smurf Movie with Nama and Poppy.

Here they are ready with their booster seats for in the movie. Sue didn't end up using hers but Ryan loved his.

Here we are all decked out with popcorn, candy, and a drink and more extra treats in Nama's purse. 

No Mattie Sue does not wear real glasses. She wants to be just like her Nama. :) I'm going to hold on to every moment of her wanting to be just like Nama. We put on our Mexican dresses each night too. Ahhh I've been in heaven!

Sat. we visited Nama Dotty again and went to her pool. What a fun pool. Under the bridge..

swimming with Nama Dotty..

standing under the water falls..

and hanging on the waterfalls. 

Last night of pampering so in the big tub with door open to bedroom watching "Annie" the movie. I mean can life get any better? Yes, Nama was baking ch. chip cookies for her. 

Fastest 3 1/2 days in my life but well worth it. I'll take whatever I can. Thank you Arnold's for the visit.
