The day after Mother's Day I decided to head to Pocatello for a few days because my dad was going to be out of town and because Jonathan had a lot of work to do and then he can work late without feeling too guilty! It was a great trip and very relaxing. I love that we live close enough that we can go anytime and the drive is only the length of the girls' movies!
We took the kids to Ross Park to play on the toys but Abigale became fascinated by the huge boulders they have there. She loved climbing up them and then sliding down. She now claims that she is a rock climber and I will admit I was impressed with how well she was climbing!
We then made our way over to the big rock walls and we had fun finding paths up to the top. 
The next day we went to Moreland so that my grandparents could meet one of their newest great-grandchildren. My grandparents are amazing! My grandma just turned 92 and my grandpa will be 92 in September. They still live in the same house since before I was born so I have a lot of great memories every time I go visit! It is fun to see my kids there now and playing with the same toys I played with as a little girl!
My Grandpa kept calling Ryan a bruiser with his boxing gloves on (he scratches himself a lot) it was so cute!
The next day my dad was back in town and he took the girls to his office and courtroom. 
They loved sitting where Papa sits and talking into the microphones. My dad showed them the little jail cells where the prisoners come through from the jail and Abigale was obsessed with them and told us that was where they took a time out! My dad said yeah sometimes a verrry long time out!
My dad was responsible for having this replica of the Liberty Bell placed in front of the courthouse and he loves showing it off! Which was fine because the girls loved it! They even got to ring it a few times and it was a lot louder then they were prepared for!

Just a random picture that Abigale took and so that everyone knows I exist since I am always the one taking pictures!
We got back from Pocatello it time for Abigale to start swimming lessons. It was just two weeks everyday for 45 minutes. I am not sure how much she really learned since she spent a lot of time at the wall waiting for her turn but she still loved it and feels more comfortable in the water.
The hardest part was that I had to sit and watch every lesson in case something happened and it was not fun keeping this girl from the water. I brought about 10 books every day and we got a lot of reading in. By the end, she was telling me all of the stories. I love how blue her eyes look!
My parents came into town so that my dad could go to a doctor in Odgen and we went to the Treehouse Childrens Museum and then had lunch at the Pizza Factory and played on the toys at Fat Cats. I think they wore each other out!
This cute guy turned 2 months old and has turned into quite the smiler. Every chance he can get he is smiling and we just love it! Yes he is 2 months old and he is wearing 6 month clothes! At his two month appointment he weighed 14 lbs 11 oz and was 96th percentile for height and weight! He is a chunk!
I had been wanting to get these cars for my girls for a long time but never wanted to pay full price for them. I decided to go to a yard sale by my house and found one but it was still a little higher then I wanted to spend but decided to go for it anyway since I had been wanting one. On the way home from the yard sale I stopped by another one near my house and they had another car for only $5. So I decided to get both and now the girls have a blast driving their own cars around!
We decided to wash all of the cars and Lydia was a big help!
Memorial Weekend we didnt have much going on so we decided once again to take advantage of the short drive to Pocatello to hang out with my parents. The girls love going there and Jonathan was able to get some work done while we were entertained.
It was really neat because we were able to visit the gravesites of my grandparents on my dad's side. The girls had never been to a cemetery before and Abigale was fascinated by it all and asked a lot of very interesting questions. It was a great way to explain to her about what happens after we die and how important it is to be an eternal family.

I bumped into your family in Pocatello yesterday! Abigail was with them, so I had to leave a note telling you how cute she is! Looked like she was having a fun day with cousins!
How lucky to get both of those little cars so inexpensively!! Your family is adorable and I can't believe how big Ryan is already!!
