Last minute road trip

We drove up to Rexburg, ID and back home today. Kathryn got up to BYU-I late last night. Mom had said a while back, she had a mattress she didn't need anymore (pretty much brand new) so she said if we wanted it, that we could have it. So we told her to send it with Kate, and we would go up and get it. Also we just wanted to get out of the house, and see Kate. So, what was supposed to be a free mattress, wasn't really free after the cost of gas, we really could have just bought our own. Oh well. The girls had fun with their auntie for a few hours. They were both really good on the way there and back. It was fun to see you Kate!!
Amazing how much has Rexburg changed since the last time I was there, probably about 8-9 years ago. The temple is beautiful too! And could you believe we were actually a little bit lost looking for Kate's place! She pretty much had to come outside and find us. The wind almost blew her away.......crazy people up in Rexburg who put up with the weather there!!

Bikers and Danglers

Both girls had a new experience today.....Autumn was riding Logan's old little care bear three wheeler (with help from Logan) for the first time. She was loving it.
Logan asked when she would be allowed to wear "dangling" earrings, so just for fun I told her she could wear a pair of mine for the day. She looked about 18, but still so cute. You know she thought she was so cool to be able to have dangling earrings! If you look close, you can see Logan's earrings.

Spring Break

Logan is out for spring break, so
I have been trying to come up with
some fun stuff for her to do. Yesterday
we went on a scavenger hunt, and
today she had a friend over. Since
it is snowing outside right now, and
sticking quite well, I don't think we
will be getting to the park tomorrow
like I wanted. We'll find something
to do. Maybe decorate the cookies
I made tonight.
Autumn is taking part in some adventures
too! Logan is really good at watching
to see if Autumn puts anything in her
mouth that she might choke on. Today,
Logan said, "Mom, she has a choker in
her mouth", so I go over and ask Autumn
to spit it out. She just keeps on swishing
something in her mouth so I stick my
finger in to find a rollie pollie bug!!! Yuck!
It must have crawled in one the tiny holes
by our front door. She didn't seem too
happy at me for taking away her
precious snack. Good thing it was all
still there. I don't think anything was
swallowed. Then a little while later she
just went over to the middle of the living
room and just stood up all by herself
for the first time. She didn't use anything
to pull up on or hold on to, and she stood
up for about 10-15 seconds. It was really
cute.
Our girls are fun and keep us busy!!
