Trip to Rexburg

So, my mom called and she was headed to Rexburg to see Grandpa over Spring Break and wanted to know if I wanted to come.  Our renters moved out recently and we had been trying to find a time to get up there and check on the house, so this seemed like a perfect time to go.  The first night we got up there Ashton was a big old grump.  I thought he just wasn't adjusting to sleeping in a new bed in a new room at Grandpa's, and I was getting frustrated.  Then the next morning he woke up with a ton of wax, blood and gunk in his whole ear.  I took him into our old pediatrician and his ear drum had ruptured.  We had to get him on an antibiotic to get him better.  We still had a great time visiting with a lot of family and we got to see some of our old friends too.  We miss them all so much!  The kids loved the chance to play with them and I could not believe the 4 foot snow drifts along the roads in Rexburg.  It still made me miss that place.  Of course I took a stop at Florence's the chocolate shop and I had a great time with my mom chatting and catching up-just like the good old days, except I had two kids in tow now.

This is where I spent a lot of my time.  I hung out at the house cleaning, patching holes in the wall and painting touch up spots.  It is in perfect condition now, if only it would sell!

Here is a happy Ashton with two binkies in his mouth at Grandpa's house.  We do not normally let Ashton hang out with pink binkies, but it is an old one for Annika that we keep with her dolls, and he must have found it.
