Yeah for Grandma's and Grandpas!

So my wonderful parents were able to come and spend a few short days with us here in Denver, and BOY did we have a grand old time! Of course, they came in last Wednesday- the first day of the MAJOR snow storm here (altogether yielding about 17 inches of snow in our back yard by the time all was said and done) but they had no problems landing, and we got home in time to stay inside for the rest of the evening! The boys were in HEAVEN with Grandpa Dick and Grandma B- because they played with them the ENTIRE TIME!! Seriously, they were in heaven. Of course, they brought fun toys, treats and candy to consume/play with, and that occupied much of our time. We didn't want to go out much because of the terrible weather, but we did sneak over to the Cherry Creek mall here in Denver and played at the "Breakfast Foods" for a little while! This is one of the kids favorite places to go so it was fun to take Grandma and Grandpa there to witness the enormity of fun we have here:) We were able to go to the Cheesecake factory- which I haven't been to in WAY too long- and just be together most of the time.

Bacon action shot! SWEET!

Banana Slice action shot! NICE AIR!

If you will notice the toy elephant in Payton's hand- he would NOT let go of it the whole time! Silly boy! He was running around making elephant noises the whole time! :)


But of COURSE, the funnest thing that we did while they were here was to CARVE our Halloween pumpkins! These were not just any Halloween pumpkins- we GREW these babies in our GARDEN! Yes, I do feel accomplished! Mostly because the big fat squirrels weren't able to devour these like they did just about everyone else's here in Denver! Payton REALLY dug digging into these babies, but Lincoln was more interested in his new car...but had fun anyways! Here are the masterpieces!

Thanks for coming Mom and Dad! We CAN'T WAIT for when you come to see the baby girl in January! YEAH!
