Family Fun

This weekend was a long weekend for us. Ryan had to fly to Vegas on Wed. for a football clinic, and Alexis was out of school on Wed. for parent teacher conference, so the girls and I went to Idaho Falls to visit my family. It was a lot of fun to go and spend a lot of time with my family. My girls always get so spoiled, and have a great time while we are there.
The first night we were there, we stopped at Annette and Rob's new house to see all the new things that were finished, and while we were there, Alexis, Conner, and Elizabeth had run outside to "get some fresh air" (that is what they said). And then a few minutes latter they came in the house like this..............

So when Alexis walked in she was very calm and acting weird, and I asked "what happened"???!!
And she tells me "Oh, I fell" and then Conner walks in with his lip all bloody, and we ask him "what happened"?!!!!! and he said, "uhhhhh, I fell...."
So then I knew something was weird... they were both really calm, and they were both bleeding in the same place, and they should have been crying... so I asked again and again till I got the right story..
They went outside and started to suck on the ice on the chain, and they both got stuck. So Elizabeth helped them out and pulled them off of the chain. And Alexis didn't just do it one time, she had to try it twice.... It was really funny, sad, and kinda dumb all at the same time. But I think they learned a lesson, and I don't think they will be doing it again. (when I asked Alexis why she lied to me, she said "I was scared that you were going to be mad at me". So we had to have a little talk about telling the truth.
I had a lot of fun at my Family's and already miss them. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family!
I didn't have time to write about my last weekend also.... It was a lot of fun!!! I was able to go with Annette, and Sara, and a few lady's from their ward up to Sara's family's cabin on Bill's Island, with NO KIDS... It was a lot of fun, and sooooooooooo relaxing and we had a lot of fun conversations, played games, and ate great food!!!! Thank you so much Ryan for letting me go, and watching the girls, and Thank you Sara for inviting us all.
