Danomi Visit

My brother Dan and his wife Naomi visited with their cute little kids. It was so fun to see them. Unfortunately we didn't do a good job with pictures. These are from my cell phone. We took the kids to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. They had a blast. They got to pet and feed the animals. They got two pony rides. Naomi had to help them feed the horses cause I was too chicken to put my hand out to show them how. I don't know why but it gives me the heebeejeebees just thinking about it. Christian sort of milked a cow too! Yucky! Thanks for visiting....we miss you guys.

Poteets!

Recently we had the privilege of having our awesome friends the Poteets visit. Along with them visiting we also got to play with some other friends the Lloyds and the Samperts. We had soooo much fun. We visited the Discovery Center in SLC. They had so much fun stuff to do there. We could have spent the whole day there. The kids loved it.

The kids dressed up and put on a show for us.

Helicopter exhibit. Very fun.

We also visited the outdoor mall. They have a sweet splash area. With a water show to music every 30 minutes.

We also got to have dinners and game nights. I am sure other fun stuff I can't remember. We were sure sad to see them go.

Please come back!

Boise Visit -Bounce house pics

We are in the process of buying a house, which means coming up with a down for it. Since my husband is the one with the skills, the task is left to him. He makes extra doing freelance Graphic Design jobs at night after his normal job. Right now he has lots of freelance jobs. Which is good for the house but not so good on getting to spend time with him. :( And it is extra hard for him to get stuff done when he can't concentrate. So the kids and I decided to give him a good opportunity to get stuff done. So we packed up for a visit to my sisters and their families. My kids were in HEAVEN! They played all day long. Which also meant that I got a break too. The only times I really had to do something for them was meal time and bed time. I wish so badly we could live closer so we could visit them more often. We had so much fun!

Man I am just sooooo happy to be playing at a bounce house.

As you can see lots of fun! The only downside was some pretty disgusting soft pretzels that even the kids wouldn't eat and burns from the slides. Man those burns hurt. We all got them. Tip from me wear long sleeves and pants at those kind of places!

Birthday Parties

Christian was lucky this year and he got to have two birthday parties. All with some of his favorite people. The first party was in Boise with my sisters Jen and Becks families. Christian, Collin, and I took a road trip to see the Boise clan for like 5 days. And decided to throw him an early birthday. It was so fun to have all the cousins there. Christian asked for nuggets and fries for dinner. Which he rarely gets, but I decided to make an exception for his birthday. I also made my version of elephant ears because we didn't get to go to the fair. :( And I made a monkey cake! The cousins all got him a scooter without "training wheels" which he has been bagging for. We did a last minute birthday party on his birthday with the Poteets, the Samperts, and the Andersons. He got spoiled at that party. So fun! Thanks to all that came. Christian had a great time. The pictures below are out of order. But you get the idea...it's a party!

I love this picture because he is being all shy but excited that everyone is singing to him.

Great shot of the blow out action.
