Nice Little Visits!!!!

Well we had the nice pleasure of having Dustin’s Mom and John come stay with us! They came out for a week to visit his Grandma and we got to have them stay with us for the weekend! Friday after the ultrasound we headed out to San Tan Flats for Martha’s Birthday! We met up with Malisa, Jensen, the kiddo’s, Aunt Cathi, Zac, Britney and Nathan, plus Dustin’s Uncle Dave and Aunt Lynn met us there too! We had so much fun! We really do love that place and the kids had a good time! Brinley hung out with us and had a nice time, but crashed as soon as we got in the car! She loved the dance floor, of course!

Saturday we got up and enjoyed breakfast and the Red Mountain Café (Mine & Dustin’s reminder of Show Low) with Martha, John and the kids and they headed home! Having to determine which route to take back to Oklahoma due to road closures from snow wasn’t nice for them! But they left and made it home safe!

Since my mom and Grams are also down, they stayed at our house on Tuesday til Sunday and we sure enjoyed their company! Uncle Matt also came over Sunday afternoon and we all hung out! I have to say I love love love having my Uncle in town! I love his visits, he always makes them fun! I wish he could visit more often, well I should go there too! I love how well we get along and I can tell him anything! I think my mom really liked spending time with him too! We watched movies and made dinner each night! I love cooking with him…he always has some great recipes to make!

Monday, Uncle surprised us by putting up some shelving in our garage that’s been sitting there for a while, because Dustin didn’t know how to put it up! Hahah. It’s sooo nice now and saves a lot of space! You can believe those are coming with us when we move (hopefully soon)! Mom got the rest of the paint needed to finish painting the house and some nice trim to spice up around the windows. The house hasn’t been homey since we moved in, but I think it’s coming along nicely! We did a neutral color on the walls with white trim! I love it! Katrina and I did some Cricut sayings for the walls and of course I’m taking those with me too! I love them!

Saturday we were invited to Uncle Brad’s for a shin-dig celebrating his birthday…which one was it….ummm….35th. Yeah, I think so! Hahah…they made rolled tacos, beans and rice with some yummy dessert! Everyone sat by the fire and had a good time. I of course was running out of steam from painting that morning! The sun was down and when I looked at my mom and said “you about ready, it’s pretty “late”…but noticed it was ONLY 7:30pm!!! Hahah…as Me, Mom and Grams made our way out the door, I called shotgun and Grams proceeded to climb in the back! Needless to say, she’s a safety girl and needed her seat belt! Well I don’t know if it was the fact that all 3 of us were tired, or what but this started a laughing frenzy amongst the 3 of us! Grams couldn’t get her seat belt on, so as we are pulling down the road, we pull over I hop out to help Grams, get it fixed and hop back in. We went no further that 2 feet when she STILL couldn’t get it clipped in! We stopped again….by this time laughing because Grams is having so many issues putting her seat belt on! I pulled out the part to click in the seat belt, hop back in the front and off we go. Another few feet we stop again cause she STILL can’t get it buckled!!! She gets frustrated and moves to the middle….still unable to hook her seatbelt my mom stops AGAIN and gets out this time. Now we are laughing so hard we are crying and Grams moves from the middle to the drivers side….Mom is laughing sooo hard she can’t help her buckle her belt! Finally, she buckles her in and off we go! We must have laughed and stopped-started for a good 15 minutes! It was hilarious!!!! Maybe you had to be there to enjoy the good laugh, I sure did!!!!

Sunday, everyone left me and went home. I felt lost without my family….granted Dustin was there, but it’s not the same when you miss your Mom! I’m going to clean and do some laundry! Hahaha…
