My parents came for a visit over the weekend. They were supposed to go to Las Vegas with friends but plans changed and they were able to come visit us in Alamogordo.
They left Cache Valley after my Dad got off work Wed at 12:30am & arrived in Alamogordo just after 3pm.
Aiden was so excited to see Grandma & Grandpa Achatz. I had been telling him all day they were coming to visit.
Playing with Grandma Achatz.
When my parents first got here, my Dad scared Jade by sneaking up on her on accident. So the first night they stayed, she would cry every time he came over by her.
Good morning!
Jerel had to work Friday so we put the kids carseats in my parents car to drive to the Harley shop.
Both kids ended up falling asleep. Yes, Aiden is in a pink carseat.... we were given it by a friend in the ward for Jade but Aiden actually fits in it better than he does in his. His carseat doesn't have a very high back so the straps are too low.
Walking into the Harley Shop with Grandpa Achatz.
Aiden loved the dog mahican.
After we went to a Wendy's. Aiden loved the frosty & Jade was a big girl sitting on the bench next to me.
My Dad HATES when I take pic of him but really... how could I not? He pushed Aiden around in one of the boxes my sister Alisha sent clothes in. Jade by then was just fine and would smile and play with Grandpa.
Very thankful for both of my sisters- Natalie sent me baby food that Emma didn't use which are all still good. I doubt I will have to buy Jade baby food... ever! Alisha sent boxes of clothes for both the kids. Love hand-me-downs!
Getting ready to go to Cloudcroft.
Rocking with Grandpa.
Yep, my Dad let me take pic of him with my kids! So glad he did.
I love this one of Aiden peeking through his hands & Jade looking at my dad.
The best pic are those when my Dad doesn't know I'm taking one.
We went up to Cloudcroft and seen the bridge & then up to the elementary to play on the playground. It was a little windy & cool.... Aiden decided not to tell us he needed to pee....
View at Cloud-Climbing Railroad. Its starting to get cooler & breezy up there but still really not October weather to me.
Playing with Grandma & Grandpa while big brother swings on the sing.
Later we went to White Sands to play.
We have never been and didn't know that if we drove a little further we would have been on more sandy hills and less weeds but Aiden could careless. We didn't want to waste any play time.
I have one pretty Mom.
Aiden loved the sand.
He took off down the hill and found himself some sticks.
Jade loved the sand too. She kept touching it, picking it up & throwing it. Apparently it tasted pretty good too cause he ate it.
Jade & Grandma Achatz playing in the sand. The sand felt like sugar. It was so soft we all took our shoes off at the bottom of the hill.

Playing stick with Grandpa.
He isn't so little or light as he used to be..
Flying with Daddy. Noticed his stick he found.
Mmmmm, Yummy sand.
Happy baby playing in the sand.
It was fun watching her play.
Jade's turn.
The sun set pretty fast and the mosquitoes came out. I told Aiden we had to hurry and get in the car cause there were bugs bitting us. It did the trick and he got right in the car.
View from our car on our way home. Doesn't look real does it! I am hoping we can go again next weekend for my birthday & bring sand toys for the kids. People like to go sledding down them.
We then went to Chilies for dinner for my 1 week early birthday dinner
Big girl sitting in a high chair like big brother Aiden.
My mom was a sweet heart and bought me a little chocolate cake. Perfect size. I love you Mom! You sure do know how to make me feel good. So glad they were able to come visit us.
