Visiting the Farm

Scott's parents have been wanting to come up for a visit but it hasn't worked out yet. Hopefully they will be able to come next weekend. When I found out they couldn't come this weekend I decided I wanted to take my kids to the farm. We haven't been on a family trip since Christmas and we haven't been to the farm since Thanksgiving. I called up my sister Trisha to see if she could come too. It's a lot more fun to have at least one more family to come as well, that way there are cousins to play with and more adults to talk to. I was glad Trisha could come because I don't get to see her very often. Corbin had a great time playing with Cooper and Gabby had a great time playing with Brie. Trisha's older kids were good sports in coming in that there was nobody to play with them. We just chatted and later that night we watched the movie "Not Without My Daughter" that is a true story that is terrifying and horrible (luckily it does have a happy ending). The next day the kids got outside for a bit in the morning which was good because at 11:00 a.m. the wind started blowing and it blew ridiculously hard all day. My dad was trying to plant his crops but he had to stop because he was scared the seed was getting blown away. He was able to finish later that night which was a relief to him. We didn't do much all day. I did take a trip to the Family Dollar with my mom and Corbin but I didn't find anything I wanted this time. Darn. That night we watched the movie "The Mighty" which is very good. I also ended up watching the old "Cape Fear" with Scott.

On Sunday we slept in and scrambled to get to church by 9:00. We decided to stay through all of church which I will admit with kids in a visiting ward we never do. I decided we needed to maybe break that habit even if it meant spending the rest of church in our kids' classes. Scott ended up staying in the nursery the whole time with Gabby and Piper and I went to primary with Corbin. Luckily by the 3rd hour Corbin had warmed up enough that I could leave him. I was glad because my mom was teaching relief society and she is an excellent teacher so I didn't want to miss that. After church we had my mom's Sunday dinner that is my favorite thing to eat in the whole world. I really think it is! Then we gathered up all our stuff and headed home. It was fun to have a visit. My kids loved being at Granny and Gramps house. It would have been better if the weather would have been nice so the kids could play more outside but they didn't seem to mind. Corbin even played his first game of chess with daddy.

We bundled up Monday morning and went for a walk. Since Corbin has not perfected his biking skills he gets to walk with me while I push Gabby and Piper in the stroller. We went 2 miles total. Good work Corbin. We stopped and checked out a gazebo on our travels.

Funny Piper. She did a lot of walking this weekend. Go Piper Go.

This girl can have such an attitude sometimes. She got pudding all over her face and I wanted to take her picture and when I asked her to look she gave me the dirtiest look you've ever seen! She lightened up a little. She's a funny girl I'm telling you.
