Rigby Adventure

My sister Trisha blessed her baby on Sunday. I decided I wanted to go. I knew Scott wouldn't want to miss 2 Sundays in a row and so I decided to go anyway and bring Corbin and Gabby. I hate to drive. I haven't driven anywhere other than in town since I had to drive the trooper from Provo to Boise almost 6 years ago. It was an adventure for sure. I thought Corbin and Gabby would be really good since they generally are in the car but they were pretty terrible. It's a lot easier to keep the peace while Scott is driving and I can help deal with the children. It's pretty hard to be the driver and the peace keeper. It was a 4 1/2 hour drive. That's so far! Ha. It's almost as bad as going to Salt Lake and I hate that drive. It makes me think of my roommate Jenny who would drive from Rexburg to Sacramento going to and from school all the time. I could not handle that I swear!

We left Saturday morning and as soon as we got to Trisha's house we went to Fiesta Ole. It is my favorite fast food Mexican place. I was so excited. We hung around for a while and then we decided to go into Idaho Falls and run a few errands. On our way to do errands I mentioned how I wanted to visit my grandma and so we did that instead. We were right by her nursing home so it was great to see her. Her memory is really bad and she looks quite different. She was very pleasant and great to visit with. I was really glad we stopped in.

After that we got pizzas and Kelsey and Justin came down and hung out with us. Chase and Rachel came a while later. We just talked outside and played a few rounds of lightening. Corbin and Gabby had a lot of fun playing with cousins. A few of us went to Fiesta Ole again. I had to get a cherry empanada. The same workers were there so I told them I was out of town and loved this place. As we continued to talk I found out they have a Fiesta Ole in Burley. What! I was so excited, we stop in Burley almost every time we head down to Utah. Score! Later on we all watched The Impossible which is crazy!

On Sunday I got to fix all of Trisha's girl's hair for church which was fun for me. I love having hair to practice on. I don't like fixing my own hair and I'm not good at it but I do like fixing girl hair. Some day my girls will have some hair to fix. We just hung around until church at 1:00. After the baby blessing we had lunch and chatted on the porch for a long time. I had to sneak away to take a nap. I left around 7:00 p.m. and headed to my parent's house in Arco to help break up the drive on the way home.

On Monday we got up and headed home. I was so happy to be home. I really hate to drive! Ha. Scott and Piper had a good weekend at home without us. They went on bike rides and Piper was Scott's companion on Saturday night while he went to the church to do Elder's Quorum stuff. She even sat on his lap for an hour and a half straight after church. As soon as we got home we got Corbin ready to go to swim lessons. Gabby was sad not to go but I decided to wait a year for her. They are so expensive and I felt like she could miss this year. I'm watching everything that they do with Corbin so when we are in St. George I am going to try to teach her. I'm not sure if she will be a willing student however. 

We had a play date to a park we have never been to. These two are about 2 weeks apart.  

Corbin loved this thing.

Gabby gets in her swimming suits all the time. 

I found a costume of the Cannons I need to return and Corbin put it on.

I just think sleeping pictures are funny.

Sunday night as soon as Corbin ate his dinner he went upstairs and fell asleep on top of the bed. He slept until 4:00 when he woke up and said he needed to put his jammies on and brush his teeth. He went back to bed until 8:00 a.m.

Grandma Beal, she is 94 years old.. She is the only grandma I knew. She lived a mile and a half from our house and she was the best grandma. We would spend the night all the time and she always spoiled us. We loved going there and getting cookies and licorice because we never had junk food at home.

McCoy Seth Phillips. I never got a picture of him this weekend. He is a cutie though.

No Piper pictures this week. Oy! Well she's a cutie.
