Sisters Day

Marty, Nick, Chris, and Dan flew out to LA for the day to get some Korean BBQ and watch the Dodgers play today!

While they were gone, I was able to spend the day with my sisters. Angela watched Emi in the morning while I met up with Jackie and Bubs for pedicures. Afterwards, Jackie headed home to walk Darwin and I went with Bubs to go see her apartment. She's done a really good job decorating and making it homey. Then Bubs and I picked up Zupas (a must while in Utah) and headed to the Shaeffer's to swim. 


The most unflattering picture hahah

We played with Emi for just a bit, ate lunch, and then put her down for a nap. After putting her down, Jackie showed up to swim with me and Bubs. We had such a blast laughing, catching up, and swimming. We took turns jumping off the diving board over and over and Bubs and I learned that Jackie did MAC and actually knows how to dive really well. It was very impressive! 

After Jackie and Bubs left, I showered and then Emi and I headed to Mom and Dad's for dinner. After dinner, Emi and I went with my mom through the backyard and Emi enjoyed eating strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, apricots, cucumbers (she sort of enjoyed that one), and a bell pepper. Fresh produce just hits different!

After our shower I wrapped Emi in a hand towel. I just think it's so cute that a hand towel is the perfect sized towel for a human her size!

Pretty soon it was past Emi's bedtime, so she and I went back to the Shaeffer's. While we waited for the boys to come home, Angela and I watched "Call the Midwife." It was really cute and heartwarming...now I have a new show to watch.

Nick's Fish House

We went to the breakfast buffet at the Fairmont in the morning. My favorite part is loading my plate with all the yummy fruit they have. (Papaya and Hawaii just go together.) Emi loves clenching her fists and making a funny, strained face. haha. We took a walk down to the beach before heading to Twin Falls. It was pouring rain when we got out of the car at the start of the hike, and I wondered what the rest of the hike was going to look like, but it ended clearing up at just the right times. I love how Emi has curls in Hawaii. On our way back we stopped at some food trucks and came back to relax before dinner time. For dinner we went to Nick's Fish House. This place is special to Marty and I because it's where we got engaged (and their Macadamia Nut brownies are top notch which adds to the special-ness). In the evening we went back to our hotel room and watched an episode of "The Floor" before heading to bed.

Last day in Paris

We scheduled a tour for St. Chapelle, Conciergerie, and the outside of the Notre Dame for this morning. I mostly just wanted to see St. Chapelle, but because we've been so busy seeing other things, when I went to get tickets on their website they were sold out. Luckily I found a tour through "Get Your Guide" that we could do that would take us through the chapel this morning. Marty and I arrived for our tour this morning and started making our way to St. Chapelle as a tour group when we found out that the employees of St. Chapelle were on strike so nobody would be seeing St. Chapelle for the day. It was a bummer, but strikes are very common in Paris. Really we just lucked out getting to experience an important part of their culture ;) With our tour canceled, we made our way to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. The basilica reminded me a lot of the pretty churches in Jerusalem. The one thing Marty and I found odd was that there were signs all over inside the chapel asking guests

Marty! Lizzie!

Emi and I went to Chuze in the morning and then went to the park after with friends! Ronny, Jules, Evi, Isla, and Emi (of course!). We tried out a new park, Spearwood, and the kids liked it. Emi and I stayed a bit longer after everyone left and she made a new friend. It was this cute Chinese boy whose name sounded kind of like "Ethan." Anyway, his mom was doing the sort of thing all moms do at the park--cheering on their child as they try to climb up a ladder or try something new--but in Chinese. She was doing this, and then the most interesting thing happened. Emi started imitating what the mom was saying. It was so cute! Even though there was a language barrier between the mom and I, she could also tell what Emi was trying to do. It's amazing what the brain can do--especially children's brains. They are like little sponges! Anyway, I just thought that was really cool. On another note... Emi's started calling Marty and I by our first names half of the time. Today
