Well again it's been forever since I've updated this thing. I'm sure nobody even looks at this anymore, but for myself I need to do this. As I said in my last post, Jordan got picked up by the Idaho Stampede so that meant we packed up and headed up there. I drove back and forth quite a bit. When Jordan was in town we made sure we were up there, but whenever he left for a roadtrip, the boys and I would load up and drive back to SLC. It wasn't bad and we enjoyed our time up there. His season is over now so we are just back in SLC until we decide what we are doing next. While we were up there we did a few things:

One of my friends/volleyball team mates from CEU (Amy) lives up there and she has a little boy that's just a year older than Wyatt. We were able to get together and see each other quite a bit and they even came to some of Jordan's games. One day we ventured out to the Old Penetentiary. It was actually really interesting but kind of creepy at the same time. You just knew you were in a place where bad people were and it was especially creepy when we walked into the room where the Death Row inmates stayed. It was definitely a weird, cold feeling.
Here's Carter, Wyatt, and Chamberlain holding their signs. Wyatt's was funny cuz Amy gave it to him not knowing he really is left handed.
 We made forts out of furniture and blankets

We went to the Boise Zoo and saw lots of really cool animals. That zoo is definitely bigger than I thought it would be but definitely wasn't as good as the zoo in SLC.

Wyatt kept saying "it's the Lion King!'"

 We had a few nice days so for one of them we decided to go to the driving range and hit some golf balls. It was Wyatt and Chamberlain's first time. They didn't do too bad.

Wyatt hitting some balls. It was hard for him because they didn't have any left handed golf clubs his size. He was slightly confused with how to hit and what way to face but he figured it out ok.


This is what Chamberlain did the whole time, but he still had fun I'm sure.

He looked pretty good. He's not much for golfing but he is getting more intrested and wants to play this summer.
 We also took some time and visited the Discovery Center. The kids had a lot of fun and there were lots of cool things there. The best part is that the kids could touch and play with EVERYTHING! That's my kind of place.
This chair went up high in the air and then came down slowly by itself. Wyatt was scared at first, but all it took was 1 time for him to love it and we couldn't get him off!

Chamberlain even enjoyed trying everything out.

Making echos through the tube. This was really cool.

Balls. Enough said for my boys.
 The night of Jordan's last game we drove home and got home at about 3 am. We woke up at 6, got ready for church, and drove out to Vernal. Jordan's sister was in town from Nebraska and they blessed their little girl Dani. Jordan's younger brother Trevor also proposed to his girlfriend Alisha the night before so that was fun. We have 2 weddings in 4 months (Dec-Nicole and March-Trevor). Yay!
This is cute little Dani in her blessing dress. This is actually the dress Meagan (Jordan's sister) wore when she was blessed. They also blessed Stella in it (she's now 5).

Me, Annie, Meagan, Alisha (Trevor's fiance), and Nicole. We are all crouching down so we would be the same size as Alisha. She's a little bit shorter than the rest of us.

And this was Chamberlain pretty much the whole day after church. Outside playing with balls. He got his church clothes completely filthy so luckily we were able to find some random clothes to put on him that fit him. This is also why I don't have a picture of Wyatt up. He too got his clothes super dirty, but the only thing that fit him is a tank top of Stella's. He looked quite funny, so I'll pass on putting a picture up of him from the day.
Since we've been home we have been enjoying ourselves just relaxing and hanging out. Jordan has been doing lots of stuff around the house for my mom so he's staying busy and when the weather is nice the kids and I have been spending out time outside. I cannot wait for summer! It can't come fast enough! I'm gonna try to keep this thing updated too. Fingers crossed!
