Goodbye Rexburg!!

Hailey loved spending time with Nana at the playground while Mom went to Pirates of the Carribean with Grandpa, Ryan, Lisa, and Emily.

Hailey went to the playground multiple times


It was so fun to visit with Barbara (John's favorite Aunt) and Ryan Winn.

Barbara said she loved feeding Kate

Hailey wanted to do everything Nana did including mowing the lawn

Hailey's favorite thing of the whole trip was jumping on the tramp!





Uncle Ryan came up from Utah to visit. He loved holding Kate and playing with Hailey. We love you Ryan!

Every year we visit my Grandma Rigby's grave in Rexburg. It is a special moment to remember her and visit with family.



Thank you so much Mom, Dad, Emily, Annie, Ryan and Lisa! We had so much fun. We love you!!!

Emily's Graduation Day
May 24, 2007

We had so much fun attending Emily's Madison High School Graduation. I don't think you can deny the fact that she is gorgeous. (hey I am her sister and I am allowed to brag). We are so proud of her! It meant so much for me to be there on her special day.


The only annoying thing about the whole graduation day is that there was no parking due to construction (plus the air conditioning was broken....again). We had to park clear down past Taco Time (for you Rexburg-ites you all know where Taco Time is) and hike 5 blocks to the Hart building. It wasn't so bad other than Hailey didn't want to stay in the stroller.

AND MORE PICTURES!!!

Lisa was not able to attend graduation because of a college class. It was a fun moment to meet her at Craigo's for a couple post-graduation pictures and then to the Relay Station in St. Anthony for dinner.

Aunt Li Li and Hailey

Can you believe how cute the shoes are??

Hailey saw Emily getting a personal photo shoot and decided to join in. So she was striking a pose better than she ever has. Congrats to EMILY! We love you!

Snow in May??

Oh ya, we're in Rexburg

I woke up to find snow in the yard. The joys of weather in Idaho.

It was fun to visit Andrea and see her new house.

Andrea and I both lived in Utah for a while and before we knew it I was moving to Indiana and she was moving to Idaho. We went from living 15 minutes apart to multiple states apart.

Hailey lays one on Logan.

We stopped at Ross (our favorite store) for a day of shopping. (they don't have Ross stores in Indiana so I made sure I enjoyed every second of it ).

Hailey didn't have trouble finding the famous Rigby candy drawer.

Lisa used to wear this polka dot skirt almost everyday when she was little. Seeing it on Hailey made me all kinds of sentimental.

What do ya know, another photo session. Can you blame us?

To finish off our eventful day we attended Annie's voice concert. Annie sang a solo and did such an awesome job. She sang "Where is Love" from Oliver. The cutest thing happened when Annie was singing another song with two other students. Hailey got worried that Annie had left her chair to go up and sing. Hailey followed Annie up to the front and hugged her leg while she sang. I'm so glad my wonder-camera-mom got the shot in time.

John, I just had to take a picture of two of our favorite little sunday school students that we used to teach. I got a little tap on the shoulder at the voice recital and turned around to see them standing there. I almost didn't recognize them they have grown up so much. Can you believe how big they are now!!

Our Trip to Rexburg

(I would just like to thank my sweet husband for the best Mother's Day present ever. A plane ticket to see family in my favorite little place in the world. Rexburg, Idaho.)

Nana and Lisa picked us up at the Idaho Falls airport. Hailey screamed "Nana!!!!" as she bolted through these doors, pulling her little pink suitcase. (way to melt Grandma's heart Hailey).

A Joyful Reunion!!

Nana with Baby Kate

Hailey found an old dance costume and danced around in it for us

Emily has grown up so much! I think she might outgrow me. I can't believe she is graduating this week.

Lisa is the best Aunt ever!!! She loves helping with the kids.

We had to take a Sunday picture in front of our favorite blossom tree at Nana's house. The blossoms seemed to match Hailey's dress.

Our Seminary Graduate!!! Isn't she beautiful!! Kudos to Ross dress for Less!!

Seminary Graduation with Emily

Proud Grandpa

My favorite Seminary teacher Brother Carter and his daughter. It was so fun to talk to him.

The whole family (including Logan, Lisa's husband) at Seminary Graduation

Annie bent down to grab something and Hailey jumped on top of her.

We went to Jamba Juice after a good workout at World's Gym. Hailey had fun at the little Gym day care while we ran and lifted weights.

*I will be updating our blog frequently while we are here in Rexburg so my sweet hubby can keep updated. Don't get sick of pictures just yet, there are plenty more to come. We are having a blast hanging out with our fun family!!
