Shantel's visit to Idaho

I have the best sister. This last week David went on a work trip, and Shantel came up with Lydia and Austin to play with us. It was so nice to have a little company. I felt kind of bad because as much as I love living in Idaho Falls, there really is not too much to do. Especially in winter with a  bunch of little kids. So we didn't really do anything super fun, but it was fun for me to see my niece and nephew, and to have some company for a couple of days while Kevin was at work.

We went to Target to go clearance shopping. The cartwheel app had a coupon for 20% off all clearance. Isn't that great? If you find something on clearance for 50% off, you get to take an extra 20% off of that. It made for a great deal. I got a cute coat, boots, and hat for Camille for next year. I am really excited for next year already so that she can wear these cute winter clothes.

Shantel bought us pizza AND bread sticks for dinner. She spoiled us. If we ever get pizza we hardly ever buy bread sticks as well. It was wonderful.

The next day, we just hung out with Shantel at home. We watched "Dirty Rotten Scoundrel". It is an older movie, but it was cute. We really like Steve Martin.  I think he is so funny.

I got Austin to laugh again. I think that if you took his little laugh and recorded it, that it could heal anything. Cancer, beaten. Depression, gone. Whenever I hear his sweet laugh my heart just feels so full and happy. It is the cutest thing. He is always smiling. Or crying, but mostly smiling. His smile just melts my heart.

Camille really loved Austin. She would go over to his little bouncer and help him bounce, and pull the bouncer cover off. She liked to pat his head, and she even tried to help wipe his face off. She just loved having another little baby around. So did I.

I loved having my sister here and her little family. They make me so happy. I am so glad that Family is forever, because I don't know what I would do without them.
