Grandma appreciation day

My Dad and his brothers have been having Grandma appreciations days for several years. They all go over and help Grandma in the spring clean her yard up. I have taken the kids over a few times to help but it has been a few years since we have been. The kids (my kids) had so much fun being in the country and helping everyone out cleaning. Trevin of course love helping with the fire, and cuting branches. Don't anyone tell Grandma that he cute some of the raspberry bushes down. Of course then we have my Dad on his new favorite toy The Lawn Mower. And Uncle Skinny was in charge of burning everything and everything he did burn. He started the liliac bushes on fire and he had to hurry to get a hose to put it out.

This was one of our break times. Valene came late so she was trying to sweetin everyone up with some cinnamon rolls. They were so yummy!
Does it look like they are helping? They were pretty good helpers.

Here is my Grandma whom we all were helping. Can you believe she is 92. She will be 93 later this year. Ok this time Jacie wasn't being to good of help. She about wacked Uncle Val up side the head trying to help him rake.


Kayden had so much fun cute branches down.
Here is my Aunt Valene. I think she had to many cinnamon rolls and is having way to much fun on her sugar high while working! We love Valene she is a hoot!
If you look real close you can see that Uncle Skinny got a little to close to my dad with his torch and torched his hair. Told ya he was burning more than just those weeds.
This is my Aunt Bonnie she flew all the way up from Vegas to help her brothers clean up there moms yard.
