Fun with Grandma & Grandpa

We're in Pocatello and Ben has really enjoyed being with his grandma & grandpa. It would be even better if he weren't totally sick. Poor kid. He's had a fever & a runny nose, and he's been coughing and puking. I'm certainly thankful that we're here where Grandma can help me clean up the messes and keep Ben happy, and that we have access to a washing machine. It would be quite unpleasant to take all of our puke-soaked clothes to our landlord's house in Dillon to wash them. I echo what I've said a million times since Ben was born... Thank goodness for grandmas and grandpas!!!!!

Here are some photos of our weekend in Pocatello (while James was still here). This was before Ben got sick, of course.


Ben is all bundled up to go out in the snow. He's sporting his pink mittens, which were the only color that was available in Dillon.

James took Ben down the little hill like this--James backwards, and Ben on top of him facing forward. When they got down, Ben started totally babbling and telling his dad all about the ride down.
Ben had a great time playing with his grandpa's birthday balloons.

Cute pics! It is rough having a sick baby. Unfortunately Braden has been sick the past week too. We are on the down stretch though finally. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in ID. See ya when you get back.

Aside from my kids I think I love Ben the most! He is so great. Those eyes just make me want to MELT!!

It was so fun to see James and Ben together--what priceless pictures.
