What We've Been Up To...

Well it's been a while since I've posted. I'm so looking forward to getting our new satellite internet this week!!! YEAH for high-speed! Here's a little bit of what we've been up to...our great friends from Utah came up to visit...the Farnsworths. Their little cutie Harrison is not quite a year younger than Reiny, but I think they're just about the same size. We always love when they come to visit cus Dan's up for anything and Patrice is the most fun person to talk to that I know! It was also nice to introduce our little ones. Harrison's pictures don't even do him justice...and I know you've heard this a MILLION times, Patrice, but his eyes are gorgeous!!! I so hope that if he and Reiny actually do get married that all their kids get his beautiful blues.


Here they are bathing together...blackmail for later!

I was also in the Salem Spring Triathlon with my sister and sister-in-law. Catherine swam like I'd never imagined any woman could, then I biked my little heart out for 13 miles, watching toddlers pass me on tricycles, and then Lauren ran the 3 miles to finish us off! We finished...and let's just leave it at that...



Reiny and I just got back from visiting my Mom and Sister in SLC, UT for a "girl's week." We shopped our little hearts out, decorated everything in sight, and swam with all the little girls. Reiny always loves to visit Grandma. I had a great time watching her with Kate, her cousin. Reiny was so funny with her. As soon as Kate would walk in the room, Reiny would grab all the toys around her and scream "NO, MINE!!!" She's rather vocal these days. We've had a good time making her say every word we can think of...she does pretty well for only being 18 mths old. Here's some pictures of Reiny swimming and climbing the rock wall.




Lastly, this weekend Chase's fiance and future in-laws came up to visit the ranch. They're such sweet, kind-hearted people and if Megan is anything like her mother I know she and Chase will be very happy together. Saturday we went over to Hamilton, MT to visit April and Brian. While there we went to take a look at Skalkaho Falls after all this amazing rain we've been having this year. We've had about 3 weeks of straight rain. Today was sunny, but looking out the window now...here comes the rain! I'm so grateful for this wet spring...it tends to calm the irrigators down and Reiny and I actually get to see Jordan a little more. Here we are at the falls...look at them raging!!! Reiny wanted to swim again in the "wa-wa."



These last pictures are just cute ones of Reiny. I'm so blessed to have this adorable little girl. She is saying so much these days. She actually brought Jordan a toy yesturday and said "Dad...turn on." I was floored! She will also tattle on people like, "Dad burp" or "Dad toot." It's quite helpful and also annoying. She has also started telling us when she's pooped. Not so helpful in church when she's screaming "Mom Dad POOP." Jordan says it's time to break out the baby potty, but I'm not really convinced she's ready for any formal potty training. We'll give it a go, but I'm not holding my breath. Here's my little toad...
