We're Back!

We took a little vacation this past week and went to Boise and Idaho Falls.  We left Tuesday morning and got back last night.  On our way to Idaho Falls we stopped and stayed in Boise with my grandparents who we always love to see!  Grandma Showman spoiled us and made her famous fried chicken and it was fun to visit with them.  Wednesday we went to Idaho Falls to see Jeremy's family.  Jeremy's youngest brother will be leaving to serve a mission in June and so this was a great opportunity for us all to get together before he leaves. Kristen and Ryan came all the way from Texas with their family and Natalie and Paul from Iowa so we could all be together.  It was so much fun!  The girls shopped, the boys fished, and the cousins played.  What a great week.

Hilary and Mike were gracious enough to host us all in their beautiful home.  Thanks so much Hilary.  It was a great week.

Here are some pictures of our week.

Ella, Shaylie, and Kate exploring and looking for rocks and flowers.  This may have been the only time Ella & Shay were nice to each other.  (Hilarious!)

   Cutie Cousin Kate bringing me flowers.  Thanks Kate, I love them!

 

Ayden was such a good helper with the little kids.  Here he is playing with Sawyer and teaching him how to use a cell phone.  He also loved playing with Kate and Ella.

Like Father Like Son...................I love that Sawyer is in the same position Ryan is and has no idea.  How cute is that?

Shaylie, Ella, Grace, and Brielle.  Kate didn't want to be in the girl picture, she was still a bit to shy at this point.

We went to a cute place called BLAST OFF.  It was a indoor play park.  It had play structures, ball crawls, arcades, miniature golf, rock climbing, and Laser tag.  It was a fun activity for the rainy day.  Thanks Grandma Kissell!

Here is Brielle before she scaled the wall like a monkey.

Hilary made us a yummy Cafe Rio Pork Salad and it was amazing!  Here we are gathered together in the kitchen.
