Grandma and Grandpa Denos come to visit!!

My parents came into town yesterday. Tyler could not have been more excited. He helped bring in everything from the car and all he could say was, "wow". He loves having someone other than mom around to give him love and attention.

Since Tyler learned to play the harmonica so well last week my parents thought it would be fun for him to have his own. He plays it every now and then- and loves it, but he seems to have a much deeper attachment to the box it came in. Crazy kids.

Once my parents got their stuff in the house my dad wanted to get down to business and do some handy work for us. He isn't truly happy unless he is working. So...we put in the two remaining ceiling fans and the shower doors in our master tub/shower combo. It is great!!

The boys hard at work.

Ryan even got to come home from work early because the phones were down. Yay! The boys had to make one run to Home Depot- not too bad for a project that we had no idea what to expect. Thank goodness dad was here. He seems to know how to do everything. The doors look great!

Oohh! Ahh! They really do dress the place up nicely.

Around 5 the Waites and Blackwells met at our place and we all headed over to a Luau that our ward put on. It was awesome! The line for food was way long and there weren't any tables left but the food was good, and the dancers were amazing. They even had shaved ice- yummy.

Apparently Tyler thinks he can stop the snot from running out his nose if he plugs it up with his finger...we're trying to break him of the habit already.
The grass tickles!

I guess there are a lot of Polynesian families in the ward so they put together real dances from the islands. The men did a lot of stomping, slapping, jumping and the ladies did some amazing hip action and hula. The kids seemed to enjoy all the noise and action too.

Loving the decorations!

Tyler loves having his friends around. He has even picked up on the idea of giving hugs. He gives Isabell and Max some of the cutest hugs. We kinda caught one with a picture but it really doesn't do the whole hug thing justice.

One of many hugs for his buddies Max and Isabell

The kids were beat- but we all still came home to play at our house for a little bit. And it finally happened- (Granny don't freak out) Tyler fell down the stairs. He is just fine...but it was a traumatic experience for everyone I think. Not sure how he lost his footing because he is a stud at going up and down the stairs- but after I made sure he was on his tummy going down he slipped somehow and rolled sideways down. He was sad but in one piece. We'll see how he is with the stairs today.

Going night night on daddy's head.

So far we've had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa and it hasn't even been 24 hours...stay tuned!
