My Mom has quite a few names in the Orme household- Mom, Mamma, Mommy, Madre and Mamita, all used by yours truly. My sweet kiddos call her Grandma Rhonda and the most frequent and house favorite, CANDY GRANDMA. Cayman came up with this when he barely started talking. He remembered that there was always candy in Grandmas purse (usually just mentos) and that she would happily and easily give them to him. Hense, Candy Grandma was born. My mom is one smart lady, she knows the key to her grandchildren s heart, 1)Candy 2)The Dollar Store. Genius I tell you, genius. She came to visit for a couple of weeks in September and helped take care of of us all. She got down and dirty and played with the boys for hours everyday and held Quinn in her arms and whispered sweet words in her new grand-daughters ears. It was precious, I love the way that my mom loves my children.
Sadly, I took NO PHOTOS while my Mom was here until I panicked as I was taking her to the airport. Needless to say, it's better then nothing. Airport photos better then no photos right?
Also included are random pictures of our 3 Amigos around the house-they are just so seriously cute!
Rhandi & Mom
Candy Grandma reading to Cayman on the way to the airport.
Saying goodbye to sleeping Hudson- he was sad when he woke up and didn't remember saying goodbye.
Pictures at the airport with a sleepy baby- better then nothing!
Sometimes Hudson will fight going down for a nap. Grahams technique- "Ok Hudson, don't worry about napping- just climb on my back", works like a charm.
Out cold- the Orme kiddos can fall asleep anywhere- we pride ourselves in that.
Just look at those eyes, it's really hard to say no to those eyes.
Cayman being goofy- this kid knows how to have a good time.
3 of Caymans favorite things in life, 1) His "rockin guitar" shirt, he would wear it everyday if I let him. 2) Dinosaurs 3) Stickers
Hudson trying to copy his big bro.
Love that I caught his laugh!
Best buddies!
Daddy reading to the boys after work (the boys favorite time of the day).
Quinn- 6 weeks
Hudson is obsessed with touching Quinn. He especially loves to stick his little hands under her chin and say things like, "Quinn, sweet baby girl" in this squeaky high voice. He also does (if you look closely you can kind of see), this little thing with his mouth,where it looks like he's just gonna squeeze her to death, like a little kid does to it's pet bunny and then the head just pops right off (can you picture a cartoon). Luckily, for a 2 year old, he has been remarkably gentle but it's still a little frightening sometimes. I think Quinn is a little scared of Hudson but she also gets really excited when he is close by.
Quinn- 7 weeks
Quinn- 9 weeks, smiling a ton- so much fun!

When I 'see' Q, i just see your little girl, but in those bottom 3 pictures she totally looks like her brothers! I see a lot of Hudson similarities... is it just me?
Glad your mom could come take care of you for a little while!
Cayman looks HUGE! So old! Miss y'all!
So sweet! Brett does the same sort of face when playing with Reed. Sweet little trio you guys have, hope you're all doing well!
Charlie did the same kind of face when Matthew was born, so funny! I can't get over that Hudson can fall asleep like that, what a good Daddy he had!
I mean has!
So fun to have mom's visit. My mom is headed down here next week and I'm so excited. I think she must have gotten some advice from your mom as she shops and sends gifts from the dollar store regularly. :)
And how lucky are you that your kids will sleep anywhere. That is THE funniest and yet cutest thing. Love him sleeping on the back.
Such cute kiddos! Quinn is so adorable. I hate that I haven't met her in person. I just want to hold her! Miss your fam!
She's growing up so fast! I want to meet her, she's so cute!!
Man oh man oh man. Those kids are soooo cute! Hudson's blue eyes are amazing! Cayman is getting so tall. And Quinn is sooo kissable! Great seeing your mom, she looks great...miss her...she is always a fun time. I love the Hudson sleeping technique. What a happy family. Yeah for reading time when Daddy gets home from work! You are a rockstar mom Rhandi! I don't know how you do it all! You guys are an example to Anne and me. We can't wait to have a happy, growing family like yours. I love that all the kids love each other so much. So wonderful. See you at Christmas!!
Love those kiddos! I miss them so much!! Hudson falling asleep on Daddy's back is priceless. Graham--I'm happy to see you're wearing the championship intramural shirts still!
