Laurel and Paisley Arrive

Laurel and Paisley arrived on March 10th. Jocelyn called me in the morning and said, "Mom, I never miss class, but I am going to my first class and then I am driving to Utah so that I can go to the airport with you." After Laurel and Paisley arrived, Laurel called to tell me she would walk across the street to the car. Little did she know that Jocelyn was waiting for her as she entered where the luggage would arrive. I know that Jocelyn was so happy to see Laurel and Paisley.
Jocelyn had to ride in the back with Paisley
Paisley loved watching Barney in the car.....
that could be good or bad depending on your point of view
Cheesecake Factory
We went to Cheesecake Factory and Paisley thought it great fun to throw her food on the floor
Paisley remembered climbing our stairs and spent a lot of time going up and down the stairs

I spoke at a Young Women New Beginnings that evening and then we spontaneously drove to Idaho Falls so that Laurel could see Em and her family. Laurel and Jocelyn drove together in Jocey's car and I had Paisley in my car. It was a very late night and especially long for Laurel and Paisley. They had left their home that morning at 5:00 am Eastern Time.....we didn't arrive at Em's until almost 11:00 pm Mountain Time.
Crew and Paisley had so much fun together. Even bathtub time was full of laughs. We drove to Rexburg the next day and had lunch at Wingers with Jocelyn. We also had to stop at Cocoa Bean and buy delicious, moist cupcakes....Em is addicted. They are very tasty!

Grandma Char, Ashlyn, Paisley and I went to McDonald's. Ashlyn was so sweet and patient with Paisley. They both had so much fun together.
Paisley kept wanting to pick up every piece of food she could find. I was busy keeping her from getting the food to her mouth.

How fun! It's so fun being with family. I love that you all spend so much time together even though you are all spread out.

That was such a fun trip and I laughed thinking of driving to Idaho Falls and being so tired. Glad we all survived. I was so happy to see Jocey at the airport too! Can't wait to see everyone again in May and have Jocey come on Monday!
