First week in Idaho

Well sheesh, it's great to be in Idaho! We realized that we missed Idaho while still living in Provo, but once we got here, we realized just how MUCH we love it here. We go running and don't have to run past any cars--Ever-- Just horses and cows and farmland! Plus the water can't be beat! It has rained almost every day we have been here, but the kids are so entertained by my moms toys that they haven't noticed we haven't been to a park yet. But believe you me, stori hasn't forgot about them; we here about Porter Park and the carousel several times a day, "after Memorial Day the horsies will be awake for us to ride and Porter park will be just so great won't it mama. Oh I love Porter park!" I agree with her, Porter park is truly amazing and full of the best memories!

The first day we got to Idaho, I went straight to rexburg to watch my cute niece, Grace open her mission call to Guadalajara, Mexico! She goes to the mtc in Mexico on September 30th!! 

The kids are also loving all this time with Granny! They are so excited to see her when she gets home from work and are constantly following her around when she is home!

Dan had his first day of his Externship on May 13th. He was so nervous! Now that he is a week and a half into it, he feels much more confident and is working on a lot of research for cases. He really liked going to a hearing they had, and says the firm is really great about not overworking everyone. The hours are mon-fri 9-5! It's great! I hope he can get a job with this same schedule when he graduates!

My mom and I took Stori to see Cinderella at the movie theater! It was a lot of fun and we all loved the movie and popcorn! :)

We got together with Josh's family while he was in town and hit up the best food ever---Texas roadhouse! The kids had fun with their cousins while we were waiting to be seated! 

On my moms day off last week, we decided to embrace Sylvies curls and curled her hair after bath time! She looked so cute! Wish I knew how to fix curly hair better! 

Somehow I didn't get a single picture of my mom on her bday!!! We left home at about 11am and shopped until about 6. The kids were exhausted, but did pretty great considering. We had cafe rio for lunch, and had dessert at chick-fil-a... Frosted lemonade and a fresh peach shake! Oh gosh I'm already ready to go back for more! When we shopped all we could shop, we went home and had cherry pie and ice cream. A great day with granny faylene as she turned 66! :)

Idaho, you really are a gem and can't wait for those horsies to finally wake up! :)
