October Vacation Pt. 2

So after all the family fun over the extended weekend 

we visited some friends while we were in town.  

Seriously These two ladies are amazing and 

I totally love them both!

First, I have an amazing friend/inherited cousin that told me 

that she was pregnant a couple of weeks before our vacation 

and she needed some serious love and encouragement!  

So Ms. A and I put together an awesome care package for her. 

(well I think its awesome anyway!)  

The pregnancy was still very new and all hush hush!  

But we LOVE LOVE LOVE Lindsay,

 so we went all out for her!

Here's what was in the box!

(trust me it was a giant box!)

#1 Food!

#2 Comfort Items 

Those pink things are lotion infused socks, 

and amazingly soft!

#3 The Kid Distraction Bag!

This baby is going to be number three,

and her oldest will be three by the time baby arrives.

So She needed a bag full of nonsense for her kids.

for those times when you just need a little distraction!

Confession Time!

  Truthfully I definitely needed a reason to sew this baby! 

I had been trying to find a reason to for months and just hadn't yet.

This was a perfectly awesome reason!

We laughed together about these little details.

(Thyme is a maternity brand)

 

 

And behold the distractions!

Cars, dress-up, animals, fishing games and 

Rainbow Goldfish!!

(I knew this would definitely keep my kids busy!) 

After an amazing visit with Lindsay we rushed to the 

other side of town to meet my friend Sara!

This woman is so humble and amazing,

we are ALWAYS pregnant at the same time!

Hahahahaha!

She is one of the best people I know and 

I'm so glad that every once in a while we 

get together for Timbits with the kids!!

Ha ha like every 2 years, we're sooo bad at timing but life

sometimes works out for us to have a little face to face

once in a while.

Stay tuned for Part 3.

The girls have their first dentist visits and

We finally leave for Idaho!

October Vacation Pt. 1

Ok So remember in July how we crammed 

a bunch of stuff into one trip . . . 

here we go again.  

Ha Ha! 

So we took the girls out of school for a week.

( I know we're horrible parents but it was worth it!)

We took them to visit family, watch conference, 

visit the dentist, go visit an amazing woman in Idaho, 

and land back in Cardston for Thanksgiving day.

(now you understand why this trip is broken up into parts!)

This was an amazing trip!

Not without its little scuffles, after all ten days away from home 

is a ton when you are just 6, 4, 2, and 7 months, 

oh and its not so easy for the adults either! 

But we packed up and headed south!

First stop Conference and Early Thanksgiving in Raymond.

Which of course means we hung out with Grandma Cathy 

and helped her with her garden, and Grandma Margaret 

to pick some pumpkins from the patch. 

Nothing better than fresh Carrots 

covered with good nutritious dirt!

After all the family shenanigans were over, 

we spent a day in Waterton!

 

We love this place, the girls went up Bears Hump with Shane . . . 

Mr T and I took my mom with us on a walk to 

throw rocks in the lake and then to the park!

I think she really enjoyed some time to just play with Mr. T. 

(the girls very much monopolize her time!)

After the hike the girls joined us at the park.

Then it was home to Grandmas.

What a fun sunny time! 

We love visiting the parks in the off/shoulder season.

Stay tuned for part 2!

Friends and more!
