The main reason we went to Nampa, ID was because my sister- in- law Amy blessed her baby (Jeffery) that weekend. It was UEA so Jaxon didn't have school on Thursday and Friday. We left Thursday night. Chad and Kennedie went with us. It was a long trip of 5 hours but seemed like a year with the kids. We have a portable DVD player but, the girls have pretty much ruined it so it doesn't work the greatest which led to a frustrated bunch of kids. Wyatt didn't love being so confined to the carseat so he was a little fussy. Anyway, we stopped in Jarome and had a bite to eat at Sonic, then we continued on our way. We stayed with Russ' mom. That night Russ started throwing up all night long. He was supposed to go to a work meeting the next day but was unable to because he was so sick. Friday he felt a little better just hurt all over. Friday the kids played outside in the leaves and did crafts with Grandma Wilding. Amy and her cute kids came over and played also. Jaxon went back to Amy's house. Dave and Amy spoiled him rotten, which he loved! Friday night we all went over to Amy and Dave's for pizza. Saturday we just hungout at grandma's house and then Amy and Dave came over and we had dinner. Later Amy and I went to Fred Meyers shopping. Sunday we got up eary and went to Jeffery's blessing. On the way home we stopped in Twin Falls to see Marcus, Marci, and the kids. It was a fun and fast trip.

I also just wanted to mention that Brynn lost her two bottom teeth about a month ago. I posted some pictures of this traumatic experience for her. The tooth fairy did bring a little money for her. Russ took her to the store for make-up. I think that made up for how awful it was.

Yesterday I was having a moment, let's just say, and I desperately needed a break from the kids, so Russ asked our neighbor to babysit. She couldn't but her mom said that she would. Thank You Kara! Russ took me out for dinner and Costco. I know that Costco doesn't sound that wonderful but, without kids it was lovely. Don't get me wrong I love my kids, I just needed silence for awhile. Thank you Russ for being such a thoughtful and loving husband! I love you for that and many other things!
