Cousins

Ad has so many cousins right around her age that she loves to go to Idaho to visit. We drove through the night again and stayed at Laur's house.  That morning Oley and I needed to go to the temple so we could get our temple trip in that month, but Oley also wanted to go to the Brazilian BBQ for his birthday.  So Oley went to the temple and then ate at the BBQ with Doug, while I went to the temple and Laur watched all three of the kids.  Once we were done we headed to Idaho Falls.  Laur and all of the kids rode with me and the boys and the dogs rode in Doug's car.
As we were driving Doug's car got a flat tire.  They were close enough to Pocatello that they were able to leave the car there and use one of Oley's uncles to get to Idaho Falls.  It made for a very stressful start to the week. 
We attended church with the Burkes on Sunday morning.  Oley failed to let me know that they wanted to take family pictures right after church so I did not even try to get ready that morning, it was a very late night and early morning.   Ad also was not having the whole picture thing, she just wanted to run in the nice weather. 

After church Ad loved playing with her cousins at Grandmas.

She is getting confident enough in her walking that now she is trying to go up and down little steps.  She still forgets to bend her planted leg and so takes a step and hopes that she can balance.  It's as if walking and not realizing you just stepped off a curb.  She'll get it. She was determined to figure it out at the playground.

 She loves to play with her boy cousins.  The two that are younger than her still aren't quite sure they want to play with her, but she loves to play with Oden and Ryker.
