Another week passed

Well this week wasn't the best. I was sick with a cold for most of this week not pleasant, but at least I'm on the tail of it. Anyway Ben's brother Jacob and his wife came to visit again this weekend. Once again we played A LOT of the Wii and stayed up way to late. Bailey also is loving her new car seat. Tax season still STINKS, but like I said before another week passed.

Few Of my Favorite Relatives

This last week my niece Lyndsie came to visit me, we are only 8 years apart and I love that I am still cool enough to hang out with a 21 year old! :)We had a great time. Ben is in tax season and so we never see him. He is usually gone by 5:45am and doesn't get home until about 7:00pm. Yea tax season. Anyway so it was a perfect time for Lyndsie to come and see me, we had great food, Muddy Buddies, Fire House, stayed up way late, talked and watched movies. Thanks Lyndsie we love you and hope you come and visit again soon. These are pictures from our Gerratt family trip to Mexico.









Also this week Ben's brother Jacob wanted us to go to Pocatello to look at some more houses with him. It worked out great because Lyndsie had to get back home to work (she works at 3 different hospitals) and so she was able to take Bailey to my parents. Well that was the plan but her dad (my brother Todd and his wife) actually kept her Saturday night. Anyway we looked at houses, ate lunch and dinner, went to the movie and played games and had a good Saturday. But we missed Bailey, it is just SO hard to leave her. Below is a picture of the new dress the Todd and family got here when they were in Mexico a few weeks ago.











We got to my parents late Saturday night and Sunday afternoon some of my Aunts showed up just to hang out. My Aunt Louise has always lived pretty close to us and when we were little we used to get her and my mom confused! My Aunt Carol has always lived in Idaho and I actually lived with her for a summer when I was going to college. And of course my grandma, she is the one who took care of me from the day I was born until I was 2 months old when my adoption was final. I love seeing them and they have always been a great example to me.

Catching Up

So, it's been a little while since I've updated my blog, so here we go! Two weeks ago (the week of New Years) We made a crazy unplanned trip to Pocatello to Ben's brother's to look at a house. Luckily for us my parents were headed home after spending a few days with my sister and met us to take Bailey with them. Ben and I weren't sure what the situation would be in Pocatello so we thought that would be best for Bailey and of course Grandma and Grandpa were thrilled. So they took Bailey with them and we all went our separate ways. Well we didn't end up leaving Pocatello until about 11:30pm that night, once again thanks for taking Bailey. Ben and I are real party animals and were both asleep by about 10:30pm New Years Eve.
This last week I finally put Christmas away, it was bugging me because I knew it HAD to be done so thank heavens Bailey was a good napper so I could finish it all up. We also had visitors this week. Ben's brother Jacob and his wife Breawna, came to visit. Their original plans were to come up on Friday and leave on Saturday. Jacob is our mechanic and both of our cars needed a little attention. It's really nice to have a mechanic that will come to you and he give a really good discount! Anyway Breawna's brother lives here and the five of us went out to dinner when they got to town. Bailey was down for the night by than so our wonderful Baby sitter Sydney came over. After dinner we played the Wii, we played the Wii all night long. On Saturday Jacob fixed the cars and as he and I were talking in our disaster of a garage he said "you know you guys really need to buy some hooks to hang your bikes." Ok well I have been telling Ben that for 3(!!) years, but of course when Jacob suggests it, Ben thinks it's the best idea ever. So THANK YOU Jacob for fixing the cars and organizing the garage. We now have hooks, racks, and shelves. Jacob and Breawna left Sunday morning sore from playing so much on the Wii. I should have taken more pictures!
