THE FAM LEFT...





How sad...they are all gone. It was such a fun week, we hadn't seen them since Christmas. We all partied late into the night, coloring and cutting hair, playing games and watching movies. Paige loves Maddux already. She constantly had her hand on my stomach rubbing and kissing, telling Maddux that she loves him. I think it was a little weird though, for the family, to see me with a big belly. The next time they come up the baby will be out! Luckily, I think each one of them was able to feel the little turd(Skyler's words...) move around in my stomach. Kadie and Savannah even got to see him move abound and roll across my stomach. Tuesday, mom and dad's 25th wedding anniversary, we were all able to go to the Idaho Falls Temple and do baptisms. It was so neat for everyone to be able to be there together. Poor Skyler, he ended up doing all the baptisms because of dad's bad shoulder. And therefore, that left Taylor to be the only male proxy. One of the days we went up to the Rexburg temple and looked around. Unfortunately, It was being cleaned the entire week they were here, hence the trip to the I.F. temple. So, we took pictures and walked around the grounds and had a great time. Mom and Kendra Crooks(Saxton) threw me a baby shower and I made out like a bandit! So that was fun and if you know my mother, there was amazing food that went over very well with everyone. It's too bad that they had to leave, but real life has to start sometime I guess. I just hope that Kadie and Savannah will finish the applications and jump on the Rexburg bandwagon. I'm sure once the baby comes they motivation will increase....! Or at least next time they come up they will find that there are a lot more boys up here when school is actually in session rather than on break. That should do the trick to getting them up here!
Here are a few pictures from the week.

SO FAR...

Well, my sisters have informed my that Grandma checks everyone's blogs, daily...so HI GRANDMA, sorry there's no pictures with this one...
Well, my family all arrive on Sunday..at 5:45am. They left about 3 hours after the time they planned-No surprise!Totally expected, but we love them anyway! Luckily, we have some friends who have a 3 bedroom house and are out of town for a month, so they let my family stay there, which saves them a load on hotel bills! I decided to be a nice sister and give both my parents and Kadie and Savannah a break and let the two girls stay with us. What this also means is that Paige must follow. So...at the moment, I have three sisters asleep on my tiny living room floor. Now, we do have a spare room-for the time being-however, it is over run with computers at the moment. Skyler, Dad, Taylor and Summer have set up the room to all battle eachother in the computer game WarCraft. To even enhance the nerdery, our neighbor Calvin has even joined in from his apartment beneath us. And I thought Skyler was just a dumb jock when we first met....little did I know that hidden beneath all those sports there was a computer gaming nerd. But! I love him and he is totally enjoying my family....the BIG dinners, the games, and most of all...harassing Savannah and Kadie about boys and everything under the sun. Mostly Savannah, but everyone knows she gives the best reactions! So that's about it for now, ....Grandma, I'll update you later!
