What a DAY...

Yesterday we got in the car around 9 am and headed to Idaho. Farmboy had some business to do & I had some friends that I was dying to see so the kids and I accompanied him. It was like a mini-vacation.

Here were some of the highlights. Sadly, I was having so much fun with our friends that I forgot to take a picture with them. I'm pathetic!

The kiddos at the Idaho Falls Temple.

You'd think Mini-E was in Alaska the way I've got her dressed.


We took a tour of the temple visitor center:




We listened to the Christus statue & HY remarked "listen Mom! That's Jesus talking..."

We took a walk on the grounds and Farmboy pointed out the squirrels in the trees. I think the kiddos loved that part the best. I know HY did.




Then we headed to Rexburg to visit one of my oldest/longest friends of all time--Raygon.
She was so kind to let us drop in for a few hours, eat dinner, play, and visit.
She had home made soup and home made crescent rolls. She's amazing!
It was WONDERFUL.
We sure wish that they lived closer so that we could do that more often.
She took a few pictures, so I may have to borrow one or two from her to post.
Thanks so much Raygon for letting us spend the evening with your family!

We headed home & got to bed around 12:30 this morning.
A very well spent day.

Our Style Saturdays

I know it's been a few days since I've posted anything & that's not really like me. I guess that I've been playing catch up in all areas of my life. Blogging takes the back burner. And suddenly I feel like I have nothing to say. That's what happens when you get out of the groove. So here are a few things that we've done the past couple of Saturdays that I meant to post but just hadn't gotten around to it.

About 3 weeks ago, Farmboy decided that he wanted to go to Blackfoot Idaho. So, we hopped in the car & made it a day trip. We saw Great-Great Grandma J's home & the home that Grandma Suz grew up in (Morland). We put pennies on the train tracks (A Farmboy tradition) & you can only imagine the excitement that poured from HY in anticiapation for that TRAIN. Waiting in the cold for a train for 30 minutes is not MY idea of fun, but it was heaven for our 2 year old.

Then---Last Saturday, we had a great time in Midway at the Lodge with Grandad & Grandma J. We saw a few more Cowboy Poetry events & on our way home, stopped at Bridal Veil Falls just for fun:

Short but sweet. That's what it's been about lately. Hopefully, we'll have more things to report next week.
