Parents visit=extreme homemakeover!
My parents were here this weekend and we had such a great visit. They have always been so amazing at helping us with all the grunt work of any and all homes we have owned. We are renting this home so there is not a lot to fix and work on but we had plenty for them to help us with! They helped us clean out and organize the garage, pull hundreds, no thousands of weeds and spray the back yard with weed killer, they helped us with a landscape plans and are giving us the means to complete it, they took us shopping ALL over town to find new pillows for our couch, they bought us grocerys at Safeway, took us out to eat all weekend, they helped us clean our desk area of junk, and cords. I could go on forever, they brought us bags and bags of food from Trader Joes! I made a list and they bought 4 of everything on the list! My mom made me two kinds of chicken and froze them and brought them in us ziplock bags so we could have pre-made meals!
Dan's parents bought us a dresser from our old church rummage sale and my parents brought it up for us in their car. They spent hours stripping the old crackle paint layers off and painting it for us before they came up.
I feel like I have a whole new clean house!
Besides all of this they got to see our new life up here and just be with the kids, who absolutely adore them. Zeke couldn't get enough wrestle time in with Grampy and Sofia has always loved to snuggle with my mom, she would always just wander over to grammy and climb up in her lap.
We also went to the sundial bridge and just explored and had a picnic lunch.
All in all it was a great visit and I was so sad to see them go.
Thanks mom and Dad for spoiling us, we love you!

That's amazing! How wonderful to have parents that love you so much and love to spoil you so much! I can't wait to see it. :)
That is awesome! How is your pregnancy going? Did you already say how you feel physically?

I love it when my parents come and help us out, too!
Actually, they don't help that much... I'm jealous =)
lucky...
The house looks amazing! I want to see the post pictures after Sofia's had her way with the desk drawers...
Whenever my house looks that good, I always wish the kids could stay away just for a day so I could enjoy it. Maybe two
