You're awesome. Live like it.

Last weekend Polly, Trevor, and I drove to Idaho Falls to visit our cousins, and it was so fun! We spent all day on Saturday with them and it was fun-filled. We started off with a St. Patrick's Day party with some of their cousins on the other side. We wore green in every form, ate all sorts of delicious food, and played some fun, festive games, including limbo (don't even try to pretend you're not jealous).

After the party we played outside with a giant parachute. Remember in elementary school when you played games with a rainbow parachute, and it was always the best day in PE? Well, my dad got a real parachute for us and it's infinitely more fun, and somehow more grown up, so you don't feel like a child when you play with all of your college friends. We brought it to Idaho and played all the games we could think of. The weather was amazing so we spent every minute outside that we could. After parachute games we went to a park and played Frisbee golf. It was my first time, and I was average, but it was so fun!

We went back home and sat outside for a while until the inspiration to make a music video came. Only a few of us are in the video, but so many more contributed in other ways :). My cousin Natalie is in a dance class so she had all the moves. She choreographed the whole thing, and Kristen was the best camerawoman I've ever seen. The neighbor girl was really good at cheering us on and telling us we looked good, and Olivia provided the bubbles from her bubble gun during the brainstorming and prep period. It was about an hour from start to finish, and we are really pleased with how it turned out :).

And now, for your viewing pleasure...

On Sunday, we drove to Pocatello for my other cousin, Eliza's baby's blessing. It was so fun to see her and her husband and their adorable, little baby Hyrum! Eliza and Joseph are great parents and I'm so excited for them! After church we had lunch at a park across the street from the church. Aaron, my other cousin (Eliza's brother) was visiting too so it was a fun reunion for a lot of the cousins! We sat at the park and talked for a few hours and it was so great. I love family so much, and I am so blessed to have such an amazing family that I feel so close to. I love them all!

We really get into St. Patrick's Day. 

Gang's all here!
