Grammy and Grandpa come to town!

When I was talking to my mom last week, she asked if we had plans this weekend. She told me that her and my dad were thinking about coming to visit! They were trying to find a time to squeeze in a visit before Jen has the baby. 

We did not have plans this weekend and we were so glad to have them visit. It came in perfect timing - I missed three days of work this week because of a flare up with my back. We definitely were looking forward to having the extra hands around here! 

Jake loves his Grandpa!

Grammy and Grandpa came armed with a few gifts for the boys. They brought Jake this elephant ball popper. It kept him entertained all weekend! I enjoy seeing his face light up when he catches the ball or tries to find it. I do not enjoy chasing after the balls when they hit the ground :)

Do you see those eyelashes?!

They always manage to squeeze in lots of story time!

I'm beginning to think that Daddy has more fun than Tyler when it comes to any type of living creature to put into the bug catcher. Daddy found a big toad for Tyler. The toad hung out in the bug catcher for about 5 minutes before getting released back out into the yard.

On Friday night, we started noticing alot of fireflies outside. Grammy and Grandpa asked if Tyler could stay up later than usual on Saturday night to try to catch some. Here they are - on the look out!

Sometimes, it takes three people to put a firefly into the catcher!

We had such a fun night!!

Jake and Grammy

I love the way Jake sleeps. When he is tired, he is tired...and he has no trouble letting you know. He will rub his eyes to let you know that he wants to go to sleep. When he is drinking his night time bottle, he will put his entire hand over his entire eye - almost as if to tell us one more time that he is really sleepy and can't be bothered with the rest of us :)

It was great to have some extra feeders in the house! See, Jake's hair looks blonde here?

Jake has gotten so much better about sitting up this weekend! He can sit for longer periods of time before toppling over.

My parents are the absolute best. It is so much fun to see them with the kids - and just as much fun to hear them relive stories about us when we were little based on things our kids do to trigger their memory. I'm lucky to have them both as parents - they are so supportive and loving - always! Until next time, Grammy and Grandpa ... we love you!
