Outside is Beautiful!

Claire

We love spending time outside and we are trying to find more time and places to go so we have options when we start getting bored. Recently we went outside in the back yard and fed the horses on the other side of the fence with the grass that was growing too long. She loved helping me throw it across the fence line as I picked bunches but didn't want to get too close to the horses so I had to help clean up the rest. Chris and I are trying to find a temporary fence situation that can keep her from going under the broken part and in our backyard area. We also plan on buying a sprinkler and playing with our little pool when the days are warm this summer so she won't want to leave the back yard.

Shay

She has been really good about going to sleep as we walk to parks so I can play with Claire while she is sleeping with the stroller. I constantly go check on her but she loves her naps just like Claire did when I used to go to the indoor track and BYU-I. Sleeping at other times of the day don't go so well but she's good at sleeping at night and going back to sleep once her belly is full. I thought things would get a lot harder with two kids but it's find with me most the times and I constantly feel blessed by my perfect little babies. Shay also loves a swing at the gym because she sleeps the whole time we work out sometimes and it is so hard to wake her up to go home. They need to make a swing that a car seat can attach to so I don't have to unbuckle and re-buckle her when she's sleepy.

Traveling

We went to Blackfoot this weekend to visit with family and some of the friends we have there since Chris had drill this weekend. We were able to have two nights we went out for dinner with friends and played games or watched a movie. It is nice to have those kind of nights with people and it makes us want friends that are closer! I don't know why it is so hard to make good friends when you get out of high school especially ones that both parts of the couples can get along well. The thing we should do is start spending time with the family we have that is close so that we can get to know them and it won't be so bad if we eventually have to move. The thought of moving away makes it harder to want to be close friends with people here, but at least we have each other.
