The First Idaho Week:

We hung out with Nana and Mume and Caitlin for a day or two, which was awesome!  Married into a great family, for sure.

Then headed for Rexburg to see all my family!  Sister Ashley was graduating from the Paul Mitchell Hair Academy, and everyone was gathered for the occasion.  Me and the boys bunked with Matt's brother Chase, and his wife Jenese, for a night--but for the most part we all chilled in Ashley and Dave's apartment!  Tight, but fun.   Lots of good laughs, and lots of good family time.  Also got to meet my other sister's fiance for the first time!  He fits in real well.  We all like him lots!


On the drive from Boise to Rexburg (which is 4 hours) me and the boys took a pit stop at Malad Gorge.  Pretty cool!  My first stop there, actually.   Passed by millions of times.  Nice to explore:

We took the boys to the parks a lot.  At one particular park there is a splash park and carrousel.  Eli HATED the carrousel, however the rest of the boys loved it!  But with the splash park Eli loved it, and the rest of the boys hated it (too cold for their tiny bums). 

Cousin Luke!!  What an adventurous, fun little boy. 

Eli loving the cold water fun. 

At Ashley's graduation!  Very personal.
She's worked very hard the last 2 years.  Grateful to see her finish!

PS, Ashley is expecting a baby in December!  Ek! 

 

Everyone is super cute, except me.  Whatever, we all have those days.
Madison's fiance, Mr. Spencer, stayed home and watched all our boys.  Pretty cool, eh?
