Time in Idaho

We had a terrific trip to ID, including all the things you expect from a trip to a small farm town and time with family. Lots of fishing and time with cousins.

We went to the nature center and saw fish and animals (although not as many animals as Oakley wanted, he was very disappointed that we didnt see an otter and bear in the wild).

Tessa got to see a horse--which she has been talking about forever.

We went on some hikes (to the sparrow holes below--that is what we always called them, now I know they are really swallow holes) and some exploring along the river (crayfish and lizards).

And what trip to Emmett would be complete without a trip to Roe-Anns, the local drive in.

Farewells and Reunions

My dear friend, Leigh, moved this month. A few friends had a small dinner party for her. I will really miss having her right down the street.

While I was out west, my parents watched the kids while I flew down to SLC. I got to spend the day with Jeanel, an amazing woman and friend from college who is battling cancer. We picked up right where we left off. I loved spending time with her and her family.

Wow, 20 years, really. We don't look that old, do we? But, yes, it was my 20th high school reunion and it was fun to see old friends.

Saturday was a family picnic in the park. Here I am with two great friend Blu and Jodie.

My friend Craig invited the kids and I up to his parents farm for the morning. Colby's family was there too--lots of fun.

I am so glad my guy friends from high school married such amazing women: Laura, Michaela and me

Saturday night we had a dinner. Here's me with Adam, Troy and Colby.
