Weekend getaway

We went to Boise this weekend for a fun weekend
as a family. First we went and checked in to our
hotel and then we headed downtown to watch the
steelheads play.

This isn't the steelheads as you can see! This is between
one of the quaters and it was the little kids playing. So
cute!

A good (well blurry) shot of Joe and Brady.

The kids loved it!

Jackson, Rachelle and Berkley went
too and they were sitting just a ways down from us.
This is a cute shot of Berkley enjoying the game.

We got lucky, we had and open seat on both sides and

in front of us so it felt really roomy.

We didn't have time to stop and eat on the way up so

Joe went and found some good pizza and pretzels.

Sports food, huh? It was good though and Brady was

chowing down!

Another time in between quarters. We almost got hit

in the head with a few of these pucks that were thrown

from the crowd.

Rachelle and Berkley came down to say hi for a bit.

Perfect timing so she could get a shot of all of us. Poor Macy
was a little under the weather. She has sad eyes.


So we spent the night and the plan was to go to the temple on
saturday morning while Rachelle's mom watched the kids.
I WISH! We woke up and poor Macy just wasn't herself.
I didn't want to get anybody else sick and I knew she would
want me to be near her. You know when you just want your
mom? So we went and did some shopping (thanks Joe) he's
always good about letting me go do what I want. He did drop
me and Macy off at a store and him and Brady went to
Cabella's so he had some fun there! Then we went to
Cheesecake Factory and ate lunch, Yummy! That place is
soooooooooooooooooo good. Then off we went to watch
Kimberly play in the state championship basketball game.









I think Joe misses the glory days! City league isn't the
same. It was fun going there. Just 11 years ago I was on
that court and my team won the state championship. It
was one of the greatest moments in my life. I will never
forget that feeling. We beat an undefeated team that
had already beat us twice in the regular season (middleton)
and so it was that much sweeter. I still watch the video
from time to time and just love it!














This was about 10 minutes after we got in the car
to head home. They were exhausted. I followed about
a half hour later.
It was such a fun weekend away. The kids are so awesome
to take and it's so fun to see them watching and seeing
new things. P.S. Thanks Jaylynn for telling us you were
going to the hockey game otherwise we probably never
would have went! It was a blast.

What a fun weekend! That looks like it was fun. I remember the glory days, Kimberly girls were supposed to win state my junior year, but lost because we had a stupid coach. (At least that is my opinion). We do have all our paperwork done...we are just waiting for our tax returns so we can pay the down payment. Then we will be officially "waiting". Thanks for the prayers.

Looks like you had a fun weekend! I love weekend get-a-ways!

Thanks for leaving a post on our blog. I know we don't know eachother, and I don't want to impose, but I was hoping to ask you a few questions about invitro. Brad and I have an appointment to start the process on Wednesday and I have never talked to anyone who has done it so I am a little nervous. If you have time tomorrow send me an email and I will either call you or we can email back and forth. My email is jennifersross@gmail.com. Thanks!

Looks so fun! Isn't it fun to take your kids places and then just watch them soak it all in? I'm sorry Macy was sick, that's definitely the least fun way to travel, hopefully she's a pretty cheerful sick kid, Tyler usually is.
I answered your questions about Discovery Gateway on our blog, then realized I probably should have done it here, so check it out, it is awesome, you guys should come down, we'd love to see you and go with you!

That was a great time at the Hockey game! We had a blast and glad to see you did too, too bad we didn't get seats closer together, I wish I would've known earlier so i could hook us all up with the cheap tickets. Anyways, it was fun seeing you there and seeing your cute pic's! Let's do a trip up there again sometime soon together!

It was nice to get out of town and do something different like the hockey game! Your family picture is cute at the game. Thanks for posting the picture of Berkley and I, however you can tell we both had rode in a car for two hours!:) Lets decide on a weekend for a temple trip and a yummy dinner. Especially before Twin Fall's temple is done! hehe Have you heard any dates?

Brandi said...

Yes, Macy has many cute poses too! And just wait, the older she gets, the more "attitude" she'll have...and then you'll have more poses/faces than you can handle! The hockey game looked fun...its great getting out of town! When we lived in Logan, we would go to SLC all the time and stay at Marriot or Little America and go to Benihana's and Gateway...and just hangout, so much fun! Its nice because you can find really good deals on the weekends because business conventions aren't going on :)

Sounds like a great weekend. I am so impressed by the pictures you took. I always bring my camera but never actually get it out of my bag. You're kids are going to have the best scrapbooks of all of your family memories.
