Great Strides...

Time to play catch up...The morning of the Great Strides walk (for Cystic Fibrosis) Mom stopped to pick me up and we let the kids come in and see Justin and Michael's sharks...I LOVE this picture of Mason holding Faith up to see the sharks. She couldn't see into the tank without her brother's help!

We when got done with our 'simplified' walk we let the boys play in the bouncy thing. My cousin Kelly went in to make sure the girls didn't get hurt. Got to love Kelly's willingness to do anything for those girls!

When Faith woke up from her nap she wanted in the bouncy thing...she didn't get to go...sorry Ladie, maybe next year!

The boys found this cool spot on the playground where you could slide across on this thing (great description right!) you get the idea.

Faith loved the slide...and they had one just her size she could almost go on by herself.

Home Depot was one of the sponsors this year and had little projects the kids could do. We didn't do one there but brought one home for each of them so Tim could do it with them. Gotta love their Home Depot aprons complete with name tags!

Coming Soon...

Sometime this week I'll post the pics from the Great Strides Walk and the boys' birthday....And our first weekend of camping for the summer! I'm hoping to get that done before we go to Reno this Friday....Stay Tuned!!

Phil Harris Comes to BOI...

Phil Harris, Captain of the F/V Cornelia Maria from Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch is in town this week. One of our agents, Carrie, just happens to be his step-daughter (well technically ex-step-daughter). So Carrie brought Phil into the office today for a little meet and greet! For the record I LOVE Deadliest Catch! It is one of my FAVORITE shows!

Our Busy Weekend...

I love three day weekends...I love them a lot...mostly because I don't like to work, but who does? Thursday night we had tickets to our last show of the season, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. We've bought season tickets the last three years and last year my mom and our friend Martha joined us. This season Martha hasn't been able to make it to any of the shows and called Thursday morning to let us know she wouldn't be able to make it. So we talked Michael in to coming with us. (just a side note here...Michael claims to not like musicals...but I saw him laughing more than once!) We had dinner first at the Olive Garden - got to love bread sticks and alfredo sauce - mmm! Friday night Justin and I went out to dinner with our friends Robyn and Jack to PF Chang's. This was our first trip to PF Chang's...I know, what's taken us so long?? I'm not a huge chinese food fan but this was GOOD. Robyn was amazing and had two coupons for free lettuce wraps. We decided to eat "family style" so we picked four different entrees and shared. I highly recommend the lemon pepper shrimp...mmmm. Thanks Robyn and Jack for a great evening!!!

Early Saturday morning my mom and I took Kaden, Mason, and Faith to the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides Walk at Veteran's Memorial Park. We were late because we got stuck in construction so we met the rest of the family on their way about half way through and turned around to walk back with them. They fed us a great lunch...pulled pork sandwiches from Texas Roadhouse...mmm. (huh seems like this weekend is revolving around food!) We let the kids play for a while then headed to Chuck E. Cheese for Kaden and Mason's Birthday party. It was a surprise for them that we were having their birthday at Chuck E. Cheese and they were pretty excited. Kaden loved playing the games and earning tickets. Mason could have just played in the giant slide all afternoon. And Faith loved to ride the little cars.

I'll post some real pictures from the walk and the boys' birthday as soon as I have time...I'm working some crazy hours this week and I'm not sure when I'll get to it...until then this will have to do!

Uncle Justin meets Baby Jackson...

Justin took his dad to Idaho Falls today to meet Baby Jacks. He took a 150p flight over and turned around and took the same plane right back home. Since Justin was only going to be there for 30 minutes I called the ticket counter in Idaho Falls and asked if they would give Janeen a pass to go through security so Justin could see Jacks. Lucky for Justin I talked to a great agent who said no problem.
