Wes’ visit with Grandma and Grandpa Rogers

After the passing of my grandma early this year – I knew it was time for Wes to see his grandparents.  He’d been wanting to go for a while and we finally made it happen!  We knew it’d be easier if we just sent Wes rather than take the whole family.  That way he could focus on them instead of the rest of us!

Wes went to Albuquerque, New Mexico this weekend and was able to meet his brother, Spencer and his mom there, too.  It was an extra special treat since Wes doesn’t get to see them very often!

Wes said his grandparents were in heaven to have them there.  They told endless stories . . . brought out hundreds of pictures . . . and talked and laughed for 3 days.  Wes’ grandpa took everyone to the Atomic Museum where he was elated to get to show everyone everything there.  They ate lots of green chile [they put it on everything in New Mexico] while they were there and had a nice time.  Wes & Spencer were even able to get some yard work done for them.

Wes cute grandma has been on dialysis 3 days a week for SEVEN years.  That is just amazing.  And his darling grandpa has been fighting a lung cancer battle and he seems to be winning it which is a great blessing.  Grandma & Grandpa Rogers are two amazing people & examples – I’m glad Wes got to re.connect with them.

Wes’ mom sent him home with Albuquerque shirts for the boys.  They were thrilled!

While Wes was gone – two of his uncles – Uncle Thayer & Uncle Ronan - were in Vegas and they stayed with me and the boys.  It was great to see them, as always.  Nate and Ryan loved having them around – Nate shed some tears when he had to say goodbye.  Wes’ uncles have quite a sense of humor that Nate was trying to figure out the entire time they were here!  They were also spoiled because both Thayer & Ronan let them play on their phones [Wes and I usually don’t!] so they were in heaven.  Ryan is still begging for more games!
