Soakin' up the Sun...


Finally the weather warmed up again... we tried to spend as much time outside as possible today. We even picked up a wheelbarrow at Wal-Mart today for an outside toy. However Reese had a little trouble navigating the thing and kept dumping her poor kitty (not supposed to be an outside toy) on the ground.

So much for "new life" here in Rexburg, even if it was only a dandelion. I pointed out the flower to Reese and it shortly met it's demise. It kind of reminds me of the recess game we used to play... "Mama had a baby and it's head popped off.." - Well in this case 'ripped' off!


Just sitting on the grassy hill outside our apartment. Reese loves to climb up the little inclines, it makes me nervous when she starts to head down them... afraid she'll face plant right into the cement below. She hasn't got her balance, or her clumsy feet completely under control.



I believe there is a flight school near our house somewhere... and Reese kept pointing at the small planes that would fly by. They fly pretty low so Reese was able to see them really well.

One thing that stinks about our apartment is that there really isn't a good place to play. There isn't really any place in walking distance that has a playground. So we just make laps around our apartment on the sidewalk.
We did end up going to the big city park later and play on the equipment. We were trying to make the most of the warm weather. Plus, we seem to get on each others nerves when we are locked in the house for hours.
Also, today we had a nice little surprise visit from our friends Jen and Ty. It was so nice to see them... I miss being in Pocatello and seeing all my friends nearly everyday. We had a nice lunch and Reese loved showing off for them... even though it took her a minute to warm up.
The Bishop also made a surprise visit this evening about having me meet with him before church tomorrow about a new calling... mixed feelings. My last calling was Relief Society teacher - hopefully this time around I'll get something a little less nerve wracking.
Well not much else has been going on... it has been nice this week since Todd finished his first semester last week. He has only had to work this week (no school) and it's been great having him home those extra hours. He starts school again on Monday - not much of a break if you ask me... but I'm anxious for him to get through school. Well that's all that's really going on... tomorrow is there is a Jazz game (or should I say Jazz annihilation -- we aren't expecting much out of the playoffs).
