Fun Outside!

We had the most beautiful weather this weekend!!! We had such a fun time playing outside! On Saturday we spent the day at grandma Jensen's house while we waited for Scott to get off work from the Olive Garden. The kids played in her backyard and I can tell they loved every second. Brielle didn't want to come inside so she spent pretty much the whole day playing out there. After Scott got off we went to the river by the Idaho Falls Temple and we fed the ducks. We had such a fun time and therefore the plethora of pictures. This weekend was the perfect way to end my short one-week vacation! My last semester teaching at BYU-Idaho starts tomorrow!!!!

My kids adore their great-grandma, they love spending time with her and I feel so blessed that they get to have all these pictures with her!!! She is the best and we love her, we always have fun when we hang out with grandma Jensen!!!!:) On the top picture, I told Braden to smile and say cheese and instead he closed his eyes!!! Silly boy!

Brielle loved playing in the backyard, she especially LOVED playing with the dirt, she even ate it! Yuck!!!!

I know I am completely biased, like every parent is about their kids, but this little boy Mr. Braden as we call him, melts my heart!!!!

Going to feed the ducks at the river was one of the funnest things we've done outside in a long, long time! Brielle was literally taking her shoes off to jump in the water with the ducks!!! The funnest thing was watching Brielle call the ducks, "come here duckies", and her version of quack, quack, quack was the best!!!

Trying to get a picture of Brielle holding still is nearly impossible! Here is my attempt of getting a cute picture of the 3 of them! But look at the one with Scott and Braden! Perfect!!!!:)

Last but not least, the story of the day...of course it includes Brielle...we were in sacrament meeting today and Brielle was not cooperating, she tried, she really did, but she wasn't having it...we were sitting there trying to pay attention and all of a sudden, like always, it always catches both Scott and I totally off guard...she says in a very serious face to Scott, "Scottie, let's go home, go potty and eat!!!" She was ready!!!!!!

Looks like a fun day! And that story is too funny about Brielle!!! They say the funniest things once they can express themselves.

SAT.WAS SUCH A FUNDAY FOR ME. I CALLED THE MAN WHO SAID HE'LL COME BY AND GET THE GATE MADE. I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE LITTLE ONES PLAYING OUT SIDE AND BEING INQUISITIVE ABOUT WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YARD. SO HOPE THIS WORKS FOR THATY LONG AWAITED GATE. GRANDMA

Your family is so adorable! I think it is wonderful that you are making it possible for your children to know their great-grandma and documenting the fact so that when they are adults they can look back and remember!

How fun to go feed the ducks. It looks like you had a beautiful day there. I hope we have a day like that soon. It was snowing and hailing here yesterday. Little Brielle sounds so silly. What a funny story.

I can't believe how big those darlig little kids are getting! When I see the pictures I realize how long it's been since we've seen you guys...way too long, for sure! I'm so glad you had such a fun time together in the short-lived nice weather. And I absolutely got a kick out of Brielle's church story. I laughed so hard! I love that she called Scott, "Scottie." Ha, ha! What a doll!
