March 21st in Ririe

The day after KayCee's wedding was Sunday and it was so nice to just relax. Jonette was watching Pres while KayCee was on her honeymoon, so we had two little 18 month old toddler's running around. We actually got them both ready and to church on time...amazing. And only had to bring three bags of snacks and entertainment to get through sacrament meeting. :)

After church we just did nothing really. Grandma Gerth came up for the wedding with Aunt Jodie Gerth and her daughter Melanie. (Jonette's mom, sister-in-law, and niece) They came over after church to eat and hang out for a bit before they left to drive back down to Draper. After that...we all pretty much just sat around and watched the munchkins play. PresLee quickly taught The Bug how to climb up on the coffee table. Up until this point he had never even thought about climbing on things...now it's another story. Thank you Pres! :)

The pic with Auntie Tay is after she had finished feeding them chocolate wedding cake. They were her best friends for a bit. They also loved hanging out with Auntie Tay when she was playing the piano. Poor girl couldn't play by herself. She always had 20 little sticky fingers trying to accompany her.

The pic of me with both of them on my lap is while we were watching Baby Signing Time on the little netbook I had. I purposely got the netbook for this trip. I put the Baby Signing Time videos on there to keep him entertained for the flight...and it worked. He sat on my lap for over 1 1/2 hours on the flight from Anchorage to Seattle (and even longer from Seattle to Anchorage). Awesome. And...he loved it while in Idaho too...and you can see we quickly got PresLee addicted to it too. :) It's crack I tell you...crack for babies.

The Bug totally impressed everyone with his vocabulary of signs. At this point he knew about 72 words...and he's added some since then. It was funny to see Uncle Dallan asking him to sign "car" or "hat" or "please" and "thank you". While I was there I started teaching PresLee to sign "thank you" and "please" too. It's so nice to be able to communicate with your toddler. Makes them much happier little people.


Anyway...this was our first full day in Idaho. As you can see we were all still a little tired but enjoyed hanging out.
