Lewiston

(5th Update...did a 4th Update today also, see below)

We also had some time to go visit my grandma, who is just so great! Love her so much! She hurt her back, so she was wearing and brace, but she is getting a little better each day. 

This is outside my grandma's front door. We love this place that all of us have had the most fun at every July 4th and family reunion. My grandparents have been the rock of our family and we love them so much. Here are some pictures that remind me of them everyday. 
The birdhouse out back. 
The HUGE stone fireplace. Used many of times for fireworks. 
The tree that gave us shade, and our two tire swings. 
My grandparents live in an old LDS church. Yep it has a full court basketball court inside with a stage!!!! A kids dream come true!!! No there are no pews, and no there is no huge bathroom. They did do some remodeling and it was one of the old old church buildings, not like the ones nowadays. 




Spencer needed to get out of the house so he decided to go in the sprinkler that was freezing cold! But he still had fun. 




Playing cards is something you HAVE to do at this house. So Spencer joined in on the fun while playing baseball. I love the pure joy in his face in this shot. 
Our family with Grandma Rigby. 
3 generations.
My grandpa passed away last year, and I hadn't seen his headstone yet. Here it is, I think it looks perfect. 


We love Lewiston and are always so happy when we get back up there to visit.

Girlie Weekend!!

(3rd Update)

For a weekend while in Utah I got to have a girl's weekend with my very best girl-friends from growing up in VA. Growing up we were always together, so to help us stay in touch with each other we get to have a girl's weekend every other year. This year there were five girls total who came, but I was just SO happy to see these girls! 

We went up to Park City in Utah, and stayed at Bear Hollow Village, which we had stayed in before, except this time we stayed in a 3 bedroom condo. It was gorgeous! Here are some pics of the condo.
This is the eating area. 
Sitting area/ watching Twilight area. :) 
Kitchen. 
Hallway. There were three rooms and two bathrooms and it included a washer/dryer. 
Master bedroom which had a bathroom in it. 
Master Bath. 
This is the third bedroom, on the other wall was a closet, dresser and a TV. The second bedroom had a queen bed with a closet, dresser and TV. 
Here's Laura looking very professional while looking through movies. We watched SO many this weekend, I LOVE IT! :) 
Mickelle pondering what this weekend will be like, unfortunately Mickelle got sick, but she got better quickly. 
Cute Mickelle!!! :) 
And THIS..this adorable girl is Kate!!! :) I loved meeting her for the first time, and she was so cute because she remembered all of us from Friday when she came up again on Sat. She liked us! 
Bonnie and her little girl Kate. 
Funny Bonnie. 
McBaby came too!!! Actually her name is McKenna, and it was wonderful to see her again!! She is going to be such a heartbreaker when she gets older with those bright blue eyes. Kate loved McKenna too. 
McKenna not quite sure about all of these cameras pointed at her. 
Kate having a blast with the girls! 
McKenna tired out from all of this girlieness. 
And here we are!!! From left to right: Kate and Bonnie, me, Andrea, Laura and Kenna, and Mickelle. 
Hopefully we can get some more girls in a couple of years, and perhaps it'll be in VA this time, we'll see though. I'm just glad I have such great friends to be able to talk all weekend with, and that's exactly what we did!! We talked SO much, and found out more stories about each other that we didn't know, which seems impossible since we spent so much time with each other. It was so much fun though, thanks girls!!!! Love you all!!!
