Visiting Ballam Granparents

While in St George, of course we had to stop by and visit my sweet grandparents.
I just adore these people so much!
My grandma got to meet Hudson for the first time, and he was pretty excited to have someone holding him :)
 The first time we stopped by we pretty much just showed up, and it was so funny that Kingsley remembered exactly where there toys were.
My grandparents are just so good with kids knowing exactly how to keep them entertained.
My grandma is especially good with babies, and I loved seeing both of their faces light up.
Kingsley loved their telephones :)
Love these pictures! Of course everyone is all over the place but that's how it is with kids. Kingsley is a little skeptical of new people so we new we would have to stop by again after he was warmed up.
Don't mind our swim clothes.
We stopped by again on our way home and it was so nice to spend some more time and chat with these wonderful people. I just wish so badly they lived closer!
I'm so glad my boys got to meet these two fantastic people, I just love them more than life!

Cute Ballam's

For the longest time I have been wanting to get some pictures of my grandparents & while in Utah last I bribed them into a full blown photo shoot with outfits, props & even assistants! (Thanks Mom & Prez :)) I have to say these may be my favorite pictures I have ever taken. Probably because my subjects are so darn cute!
This awesome chevron quilt they are sitting on was made by my great grandmother! I really hope to inherit it someday, because I love all the colors.
It ended up a pretty hot day so Prez was carrying around the parasol to keep them shaded the best we could.
Here are some close ups. I love how both their eyes really match the blues they are wearing!
We did a small wardrobe change because my mom wanted them to match, even though she changed her mind after a couple shots.

Aren't they the best models??
I had been to this abandoned house almost two years ago & it was seriously fate that my mother was able to find it again.
The wide open space was just beautiful & perfectly cloudy.
My Grandma was a little embarrassed to kiss in front of us but my Grandpa was loving his life :) They were seriously troopers standing out in the hot sun, trekking through abandoned grounds & taking orders from me. It was so fun to spend time with them & get some shots I know they would never get taken, that I will cherish forever. I Love my Grandpa & Grandma Ballam so much. They are such loving & giving people, I hope to follow in their footsteps of being truly amazing people. They are such a sweet couple & just love to be at each other's side, truly best friends.
