The Best Grandparents

So, who can I call at the last minute when I find out I am having surgery in a week and won't be able to pick up Mason for a few weeks and need some help? Sean's parents!!! They are the best! Not only did Shar drop everything and fly out, but Jer came too. They played with the kids, cleaned our home and folded more laundry than anyone should ever be exposed to. My children adore them, and Mason was calling Shar "ma" within a day. I was replaced a little too easily. Shar not only would walk Mason all over the neighborhood and swing on the swings with him, she even bounced with him on the trampoline. How cool a grandma is that? We love you Sharshe and Gramps!Thank you!!




Mason LOVES the trampoline!



What talent! He can even catch a football while bouncing. Where are the talent scounts when you need them?



We finally got to the beach with Shar and Jer right before they left. Our favorite beach is Ko'Olina. We went there on a Friday evening for a picnic and to watch the sun set. Mason, who used to despise the beach, has started warming up to the idea of sand between his toes. He still thinks the bath is the bomb when it comes to water experiences, but the sand and a few toys is getting to be a lot of fun too.


Three generations of Burke boys enjoying the beach.


Jaxon loves the water and is quite amphibious, happy in the water or on land.


Colton is all about digging. It is amazing how deep he can dig in a short amount of time. Ever heard that expression about digging a path to China? My money is on Colton to do it.


Ella started off the afternoon in the water doing some tricks, but the beach and some sand toys quickly called to her.
