Grammy and Grandpa Bell

Last weekend Eric's parents came up to Rexburg for a visit. They drove all the way from TX to spend a fun weekend with us. Eric's sister Bonnie flew up from Las Vegas to join in on the fun. Eric's brother, Charles, and his wife, Krista, lives here in Rexburg. So we all just played and ate and played and ate some more.

Aaron just woke up from his nap and was a little upset by these strangers.

They arrived Friday afternoon, shortly after Eric finished his classes. They were all surprised to see how much Aaron has grown since Christmas especially since he is crawling and pulling himself up to standing. Basically, he is all over the place now.

Aaron calmed down with a book, a binki and of course, his mommy.

We decided to head off to the park and play on the swings since it was a nice day (it wasn't snowing!!!). Aaron loved the swings. We all had fun walking around the park and swinging.


After Krista got off work we all headed to "Hard Hat" Steak House. I love it when parents come into town because they always treat for dinner. Almost everyone got a nice juicy steak. I just got a really good steak hamburger. It was delicious.
We all went back to our apartment to play "Bang." It is a fun card game. Krista killed everyone and she and Eric's dad won.
Saturday morning we woke up bright and early for a 9 am session at the Rexburg Temple. It was a really good session. We forgot our camera so we ran home afterwards and grabbed the camera and the kid and took pictures.

The 3 youngest Bells with the 2 oldest Bells. :)

After we all got dressed we headed out to Big Jud's for lunch. They are really famous for their 1 pound hamburgers. Bonnie and I shared one. The hamburger was bigger than Aaron's head.

I was soooo full after eating half of that burger, fries, and ice cream. Nursing makes me hungry.

We headed back to the park for more fun with the swings. We just couldn't get enough of the park. Actually, there is nothing else to do in Rexburg. :)
We then went to dinner at "Craigo's" a pizza, pasta, and salad buffet. They have really good pizza but they don't serve pizza fast enough to keep up with the crowds. So we had to wait for them to put out more pizza's. We had a nice evening chatting after I put Aaron down for the night.
Sunday everyone joined us for Sacrament meeting. Then we all came back to our apartment where we made them all chimichangas. We cooked the unspiced meat in the crock pot overnight and it made our apartment stink. The chimichangas turned out great. Everyone hung around for a couple of hours and went for a walk around campus then we said our goodbyes since everyone was leaving in the morning.

Charles thought that Bonnie wanted some grass on her knee.

I don't know how to explain this picture. We just think it is funny.

We had a great weekend. We love spending time with family. They are awesome.
