Come and Play

 Grandma and Grandpa Jensen came to visit this past week! We had a fun and productive time. I always feel bad because there is NOTHING to do in this sad little town of ours. You have to drive an hour to Reno to do anything halfways exciting- but hopefully they enjoyed there visit anyhow.

 Tyson was of course shy for the first couple of days...accept at the dinner table. He seemed to think we always needed dinner and a show! He loved to jabber in his little language he has come up with and loved the attention and laughter her got each night(notice the Cardinals World Series shirt!!!)

 He did love to knock down blocks that Grandma and Grandpa would build into towers! And REALLY loved posing for the camera!

 We gotta put our guests to work right?!!! The tree in our front yard grows like crazy and especially this year. It hid our entire house by the end of the summer and people started calling that were coming over because they didnt recognize which house was ours. So we went out and started cutting. Kurt and his Dad got up on the ladder, in the tree and cut about 6+ feet off of the top.

                                    

 We piled the branches into the driveway(this picture shows about 1/4 of them!) the first day and Marita and I used small hand clippers to cut all the branches up into small enough pieces to put into garbage bags. The next day the guys helped with that part and we plowed through it all in 2 days!

 By the end people were pretty sore and pretty worn out! But we are SO greatful for their help and it looks 100x's better now! Tyson also warmed up to them by the last day(of course) would even put his hands out for Grandma to hold him. Stayed by himslef in his bedroom with her and read books, played with Grandpa with out needing Dad right there and even gave them hugs and kissed goodnight! Thanks for the fun times!
