When I was a little girl.....

Its funny some people come up to me and say Shaydon looks just like you!! Others say he looks just like Scott! I wanted to see photos of Scott and I when we were little and see for our self. Scott’s parents couldn’t find his baby book which has all his photos and my parents gave me a huge tupperware of albums to go through. So here are a few that I pick out.

Girlfriends

Girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach. When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you or come in and carry you out.

Thanks for being such a GREAT FRIEND I don't know what I would do with out you in my life, I love you!

CARROTS Shaydon's 1st Vegie!!!

I have been working with Shaydon on eating solid food, It's only been a few days. I decided to start with carrots. I asked Scott if he wanted to feed him tonight and so he thought he had his work cut out for him but he didn't know that Shadon likes his carrots. Scott didn't know when to stop feeding him because he wanted more!!!

Bailey Brown Blessing
Sunday 2, 2008 9:00am


This is the little gift we gave Bailey! It's a silky pink Bear blanket. Larry gave one to Shaydon because Nic loves his & thought Shaydon should have one too, so we thought Bailey should have a pink one.



We had a Fun weekend with Family. It started off by dropping off Roxy to my parents in Burley on Friday night and then leaving for Logan on Saturday morning. Shaydon is such a good traveler he just slept the whole way there. As soon as we checked into the Hotel we went swimming with all the cousins!! It was Shaydon's 1st time in a pool, he loves his baths so I knew he would love the pool. For Christmas Scott got me a pass to Roaring Springs and It is going to get used this summer. That afternoon we just hung out, snaked & took naps. That night we ate a the Blue Bird Restaurant with all the Gerratt and the Brown families there were about 35 of us. It was fun having everyone there. That night we did a little shopping at DownEast, Wal-mart and the SEI outlet. I could of spent hours more at the scrapbook store. I'll be back. Ben did a GREAT job blessing Bailey, it was a full circle. There is sure lots of love for her. After we went to Alisa's for a Brunch. We just visited and then everyone headed home. Look at the pix of our fun weekend.

Congrats you just graduated into parenthood, play dates, poppy diapers, pumping bottles, piles of laundry, sleepless nights and someone that fills the love in your heart that you never knew was empty.

We love you guys

Lunch With My Dad!!!!!!

Today mom and I went to lunch with dad!! It was so GREAT. I love to spend time with him. I was so excited that I took a really good nap this morning so I would have lots of energy to play with him. I was full of laughs, giggles, smiles and pure entertainment for everyone. Even though I know he wanted to eat his fish taco's he still played with me. I love it when were together! Mom picked Willowcreek (off Vista) to eat she said we had been there before, but I don't remember because I was not born yet she loves there chicken curry wraps with shoestring sweet potato fries, the food was excellent and I know we will be back.


Thanks Mom & Dad for such a lovely lunch DATE!!!

4 hour drive in 10 hours

8:30am-6:30pm
We made a quick trip to Burley today. Needed some photos of our ski boat that we are trying to sell. Didn’t know we didn’t have any photos until we went to get them. We store the boat in Burley in my Grandma Mimi’s garage.

It just so happened that my sister-in-law was also in town and we got to see her 2 month old girl Bailey Brown. We are going to have 4 other cousins for Shaydon to play within the next 3 months. That will be fun when they get older.


Shaydon in 4 months older than Bailey, he lookes so big!!!

It’s not a trip to Burley with out having lunch at Al’s. I had the Big Al with the salad bar & took home their chicken wraps for dinner, Scott loved it!!!

Bogus Basin Resort

For Christmas on the Gerratt side Eric and Yvonne had our family and they gave us a date night with babysitting. So we took advantage!! We went night boarding on Saturday evening. It was really fun to just be together even though the weather was a little chilly and the snow was a little icy. Thanks for watching our little one this was the BEST present!!!


I had already went to the truck to warm up so I didn't have my helmet and goggles on.

ouR sTuD MuFfiN!!!

Surfing

Wakeboarding

Doing two things you love can't wait for summer to come.....

Sewing

Give an orphaned pillowcase a new home -- over your shoulder.

Jessica Curtis posted this craft on her blog and so I thought I would try it (we were going to do it together). When I get an idea to do something I do it until it’s done, I think I have OCD. So I was off to find a pillow cases. Who would of thought you can’t just buy a single pillow case!!! They all come with the sheet set. So after trying Wal-mart, Target and Linen’s & Things I was off to TJ Max , still nothing only plain colored ones & of course I wanted some sort of a design. So I finally decided to go to the D.I. on my way there I stopped by this thrift store called Savers. Why didn’t I think of this first!! I found a three pillow cases that I liked and they were only .69 cents. Can't beat that. So here is the end product, a few days' later. Thanks Jessica for the fun idea.

One is pink with poke-a-dots & stripes ~ Red (my favorite color) ~ Celery green with poke-a-dots

Our 1st Date Night!!

Friday 8, 2008
Our Friends Chad and Kelli Hessing invited us to dinner and it just so happened that my parents were coming to town and could watch Shaydon. We have not been out on a date since Shaydon was born. All the people that I trust to watch him are the people that we hang out with so we don’t do much with out bringing him along. So we were done eating by 8:00pm and we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. So we decided to go to Wal-mart and do some shopping, Scott’s favorite thing and place to go. (he hates it) After that we went to McDonalds and rented a red box movie and headed home. Aren’t we exciting. Thanks mom and dad for our 1st date night.

I asked one of my young women in our ward to babysit on Valentine’s Day she could, but for only 2 hours. So this will be our 1st experience with a baby sitter It has nothing to do with her, but I am so nervous.

10 Year High School Class Reunion!!!

August 17-18, 2007
Best Western Burley Idaho

Most of my spare time during the spring and summer of last year was planning our class reunion, what was I thinking when I ran for Class President. It was quite a task, but rewarding. Thanks to Scott who was very patience with me being pregnant, stressed and wanting things done right now. I think everyone had a fun time and that is what matters. We had about half the class in attendance. It was fun to see people that I haven't seen since HS. Don't mind the pregnant lady on the end with her husband in the very back. What was I thinking standing on the end? What a scary picture of me!

Pay It Forward Recieved!!!

Hand towel ~ Photo Holder ~ Blanket for Shaydon with his initials
Thanks Jessica for my "Pay it Forward" Gift

We Love it!! You are very talented!!!!!!

Crush......

I am going to keep a close eye on these two growing up. Shaydon is alreay holding her hand...

Shaydon Gerratt & Andie Hessing

Play Group #2

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

We love the Snow!!!

This is the most snow I have seen in the Boise Valley since we've moved here 7 years ago.
We have gotten so much snow in the last week alone, I wish I could be up boarding more.
I like to shovel the snow off the walk way, in fact I usually do the neighbors if I have time.
Scott doesn’t like me to do it especially if he is home he doesn’t want the neighbors to think he is too lazy or something. We all know that is not the case. I love piling it up, if Shaydon was only older to enjoy it more. Every morning we go to the window and I show him the snow. It’s usually too bright & he squints his little eyes, soon enough!!!!!

SUPER BOWL

We really didn't care who won because neither of them are our team, but if we had to choose it would be the GIANTS!!! Congrats New York. We spent the weekend with the Gerratt's, Barbara & Larry came down to watch the game. Larry wanted to watch it with his boys. We had a good weekend visiting, eating and playing with the kids. Thanks Yvonne and Eric for letting us be at your house which is always fun. Here are a few photos from the big day!!
