Graduation, Rigby, and Old Friends

Love this!

It's been a busy week. I spent Monday making giant gourmet cookies for some staff members at Corbin's school. I'm not super out going so it's kind of awkward for me to get to know everyone. I know that the secretary and the principal recognize me because I volunteer a lot but I wanted them to know my name as well. I'm a bit of a brown noser I guess. I just want to form relationships so that I can have some negotiating power if I need it in the future. The secretary told me the next day at school that it was the best chocolate chip cookie she's ever eaten.The principal saw me and thanked me again at Corbin's Kindergarten graduation. Oh yeah! I felt like a dork doing it but I'm glad I did. I also made cupcakes for Corbin's Kindergarten graduation that day as well.

Tuesday Corbin graduated from Kindergarten. It's been a good year. The kids sang some songs and they called out each of their names to get their diploma and had cupcakes afterwards. 

Wednesday was the last day of school. We picked up Corbin and had a picnic in the park. Later that day we went to a neighborhood ice cream party celebration. I made tin foil dinners and we ate them at the park and the kids and Scott floated the ditch. It was a great kick off to summer.

Scott's MTC companion called during the week inviting us to their baby blessing that they were doing in Idaho Falls. They haven't seen each other in 6 years. My sister lives in Rigby so we decided we would make a weekend of it. I really like going to my sister's house in the summertime. She has a big fun yard and our kids have tons of fun playing. 

We left Friday and mostly just hung out and ate Trisha's yummy meals she prepared for us the whole weekend. Bless her! On Saturday we met up and hung out with the Guthries for a few hours. We got Fiesta Ole to go and went and ate it at Porter park in Rexburg. I love Fiesta Ole! Rexburg is more developed every time I see it. It actually makes me a little sad. I kind of miss the old Rexburg that I knew and loved. Oh well. Life moves on. Saturday night Trisha and I watched Jane Eyre. My brother Keaton who goes to BYU-I came down both Friday and Saturday night to eat and hang out with us for awhile. On Sunday we went to church with my sister. The baby blessing was at Melissa's sisters house at 3:00. We loaded our kids up and 3/4 of them fell asleep on the way. Scott popped in and visited with them for a minute and we said our goodbyes. (We should have snagged a picture, doy)!

We drove to my parents house to stay for the night. My brother Alex is working for my dad for 5 weeks this summer so he and his family were there. Hart and Jory came Sunday night as well to pick up their ski boat they like to store in Arco for the winter. It was great to get my mom's Sunday dinner. We went up and checked out my grandma's house to see what Alex has been working on. We rode our bikes for a bit and had a smores in the fire pit. We decided we wanted to go ahead and drive home rather than endure a hot night with a fussy baby so at 8:45 pm we hit the road. 

Corbin started swim lessons today. I love to watch him learn how to swim.

Kid Quotes:

Corbin:

"Stop, stop, stop tell her to stop. It's too loud, I can't handle it." (Piper was talking about her book in the car and she is loud and incessant).

Gabby:
"Mom, my tummy's growling for mint oreos." Mine too. Always.

Piper:

"Oh look at her, she is beautiful."

"Pinky pie said that. She said, "hold on a second!" She was silly."

With her arms outstretched talking about a strawberry she said, "I got the biggest one in the world!"

"We have to find daddy. He's in Texas."

"Mom, Corbin pushed me. That wasn't nice."

Piper was sitting in her shoe bucket and when I told her to get out she said that it wasn't for 2 year olds.

This boy is so big!

Corbin's teacher Mrs. Poole. Love her!

Cute Corby.

Gabby's castle

These cupcakes were good!

Oh baby.

I love sleeping kids. So cute.

I don't even think I realized Piper could sing this song until I took this video. Ha! Ryan's beautiful singing in the background. We often call him Scuttle from Little Mermaid.

How do you do to...day! I love that video cut off. Ha.
