Blackfoot and Walking

I'm such a dork that I didn't take any pictures of our weekend in Blackfoot. On Saturday we hitched a ride with David's sister Carla and her husband and daughter and went to visit David's only brother in Blackfoot. It was Dave's nieces birthday and we hadn't been down there in a while. We had such a good time. We played games and the kids played with Jessica. Clare was in absolute Heaven. There were princess dolls and a doll house and a little play kitchen and best of all... there was Jesse. Her very own cousin friend. Jesse was so good to play with her even though she is a big girl now (six) and Clare is so small.
We had a blast and as always, Steve and Emily were fabulous hosts. Always good food, good company, good entertainment.
We went to churh with them on Sunday and Kaity took Clare and Hyrum in the Nursery with her so David and I got to listen to the entire block of meetings without interuption. It was so nice! That hasn't happened in nearly three years. Thankyou Kaity and thankyou Shane and Carla for lending her to us and for being such a wonderful Uncle and Aunt to our kids. They absolutely love you.
Today was a gorgeous warm day. David and I took the kids outside and ended up going for a walk around the block. It was so good to get outside and feel the sunshine. The kids were eating it up too. We ended up at the IFA that is not to far from our house. They were having an amazing sale on all of their toys. they were all at least 75% off if not more. There was tons of John Deere stuff for super cheap and Breyer horse play sets. We had so much fun shopping for the kiddos. I told David that we should probably keep some of it hidden for birthdays and next Christmas but he can never wait. I have to hide Clare Christmas presents from him or he'll give them to her early. He loves his kids, and loves to spoil them. Anyway. We had just as much fun as the kids did playing with them. Have a good week!
