One of my coworker was cleaning out her closet for a garage sale and came across this Elmo they had at their house. She gave it to Rachel because she knows how much Rachel loves Elmo. Here is her reaction. Its pretty funny.

Time Out for Women - Poky
So I had the wonderful pleasure of going to Time Out for Women in Pocatello and just totally loved it.
It was a great spiritual uplifting event. I was also able to talk to lots of my friends from Poky and tell them our good news about Rachel. The event was held in the Holt Arena.
We hooked up with another friend Kathy, my mother, and Scott's mom and sisters. It was so much fun to get away and to have a Girl's Weekend. Our hotel was awesome and had a great continental breakfast. We got the hotel for cheap off Priceline.com and I was so happy that it ended up being a decent hotel in Poky because we all know they have some crappy ones. I got to eat at all my favorite restaurants and just relax. We didn't really have time to do any shopping but that was alright. We were there to be spiritually lifted. The first night they had a concert violinist there that was awesome. She was so funny because nonchalantly she was like oh yeah Elder Oaks is my dad. We were all floored. Friday night was also a talk by the editor to President Monson's autobiography. She was awesome and had great stories about how much the Prophet really does care about everyone. Everyone is important in his eyes and he makes time for anyone. Mercy River was awesome again as usual. I made my Mom and Kammi listen to the CD so we could get in the mood for them. he he he. Kammi and I had heard several of the speakers from last year but oh it was so great to hear their messages again about hope and knowing that everything will be okay. This next year when its in Boise Kammi and I are going to work it so we can get free tickets but also so we can be an integral part of Time Out for Women.
I left Rachel with my dad all weekend long. She loves my dad so much. On Saturday we went to pick up my mom and I checked on Rachel. She wanted to come with me but we told her she gets to help Grandpa make a cake and she was fine. When we finally went to pick her up though she was done. She wouldn't let me out of her site and I had to hold her while I packed up all her stuff. That's the first time we had left her with anyone over night so it was a good trial run before when my parents come to our house while Scott and I are at girls camp.

Problem Solver
So Rachel has started to open doors and turn on the lights in the house. This was one of her attempts to turn on a light. I had to laugh as I watched her problem solve how to get taller so she could reach the light switch.
Okay so I don't need anyone to tell me how dangerous this is. I was right there watching this whole thing unfold. Yes that is her baby doll stroller on the bean bag. I let her get this far and then I helped her to turn the light on because I didn't want her to get hurt falling off of this. I have to give her credit for figuring out how she could get higher because the bean bag just wasn't enough height.

Dora Tent
So I don't know how we get ourselves roped into doing these type of things with Rachel but I would say she has us wrapped around her little fingers. This is her and Scott playing in her Dora Tent. She really wanted me to get in but this one there really wasn't any room in there for the three of us. So funny.

| Yep we are crowded in here |

| Love this picture. Rachel's expression is priceless. You can sure see her blue eyes. |
Proof of them both in there. Scott had to lift it up and put it on them in order to get into it. Rachel's not wanting to get out of it and is trying to pull it back down over them. Gotta love the death grip. :-)
