Great Grandma's Visit

My Great Grandmother (Brayden's GREAT GREAT Grandmother) and my Great Aunt Betty came to visit in August!  She's now 90 years old so it was great that she would come to visit!!  We hadn't seen her since Brayden was just a month old!!  My Great Uncle Steve came up from California while she was here too!  Here's just a few of the pictures from our many visits with her!!
My Great Grandma with her remaining living children and my mom...L-R:Uncle Steve, Great Grandma, Mom, Aunt Betty, Grandma Sharon.  She had two other sons who have both passed away.
Great Grandma...she hates to have her picture taken so I was all ready and snapped this when she turned around!
Brayden and Aunt Betty running in the rain!
We all sat on my Grandma's backporch that night and watched the lightning and then enjoyed the rainbows that followed!
If you look closely you can see the 2nd rainbow to the left...it never got really bright.
Brayden LOVED being the center of attention!
Brayden and Aunt Betty became good friends!  It all started when she bought him a SpiderMan backpack!!  (Long story but Brayden had been wanting a backpack FOREVER!!)
The night before we left for Seattle, Great Grandma and Grandma came down to have dinner with Brayden and I and play cards!
Until February, he's her only Great Great Grandchild!  We're hoping we'll get her to come out again when baby #2 makes his/her debut!
All of us...not too bad for using the automatic timer on my camera!  We never got a new 5 generation picture while she was here!  So here's 4 of them...just missing my Mom.
