This past weekend the kids and I drove to Boise to be with Jarom for the weekend and we had such a great time visiting with old friends. I am sad that there wasn't enough time to see EVERYONE that I wanted, but it gives me an excuse to go again. Right? Here is the recap.
Friday:
We arrived in Boise late Friday night and drove straight to our friend's the Petersons. They have moved into a new home and I couldn't wait to see it. They have done a GREAT job remodeling it! I am so mad at myself though becuase I totally forgot to get the camera out. So, you'll just have to take my word for it, but the house is really cute. It looks like a New York loft. It was also really fun to see the new addition they've added to the family. Little James is barely 9 months old and walking around like a 1 year old. He's a cutie! (Jennifer if you read this, you'll have to send me some pictures so I can post them on my blog. What an idiot I was!)
Saturday:
Jarom was so nice to take the kids to Chucky Cheese while I went to lunch with my dear friend Miki. It was so much fun to spend some one on one time together and catch up. It was 60 degrees outside so Miki and I put the top down on the Mustang and had a great drive around town.
After lunch I joined Jarom and the kids at the YMCA for swimming. If you ever go to Boise it's a really fun place to take kids swimming.
Swimming at the West YMCA and playing with the Farnsworths.
Halle gave us all a scare when the life guard had to jump in and save her after she came out of the big tube slide. Jarom had been catching the kids, but left to help Carter (he didn't know Halle was planning on coming down) and Halle didn't know Daddy wasn't at the bottom. Thankfully there was no harm done!! After filling out an "incident report", we decided we'd all stay away from the big slide.
After swimming we left the kids at the Farnsworth's home and went to Epi's (a Basque restaraunt) for dinner with Ron and Janna. We bought a bunch of slices of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory for dessert and we sampled them. Mmmmm.... My favorite is still the Adam's Peanut Butter Cup.
Ron, Kelani, and Malia, now there's a pile of fun.
After such a long day, Carter was down right pooped.
Our Sunday started with realizing that Jarom didn't have a tie, I didn't have nylons, Alyssa had tights that were WAY too small, and Halle had packed 2 left shoes. So after a trip to Target to get everyone fully dressed we made our way to our old Nampa 8th Ward. It was so much fun to see so many familiar faces and we were welcomed immediatly.
After church we drove to Emmett to see our dear friends the Eakins. They moved and built a new home after we moved to I.F. It was just like old times being with them for a Sunday dinner.
Air hockey with the boys. Carter was SUCH a poor sport. He would cheer when he would sink the puck, but when the cards were turned he'd pout. At one point he ran off and whacked right into a fooseball handle. It knocked his feet right out from under him. Poor kid, but I couldn't help but laugh.
Cute little Brittyn enjoyed Missy's chocolate chip cookies! As did we all; she seriously makes the best cookies anywhere. I was so excited when I walked in the kitchen and saw the familiar Bosch sitting on the counter getting ready to make me cookies.
Monday: Lunch with Fur and the drive home
The trip ended with lunch at Carl's Jr with my old roommate Jennifer and her kids. It was great to see them all and visit over yummy burgers. (Man I wish I.F. had Carl's Jr.)

Looks like you guys had A LOT of fun and A LOT of good food. So jealous! I loved Halle's story...it made me laugh out loud (and I am glad she is okay).
PS you guys look good in a Hummer! (:
WOW! Sounds like you made good use of the limited time you had to visit friends and have a great time! How fun! Glad Halle was fine--good thing for lifeguards! Carter can sleep anywhere, can't he? :) Sorry to hear about the big cracks finish! BUMMER!
Yeah, anywhere but his own bed.
SO FUN!!! I love weekends like this! You guys really had it all-- yummy food, good friends, and a HUMMER!! So jealous.
But not jealous about the crack-- ugh, I hate that.
Oh, thank Heaven for prayers! What a frightening thing to have happen. I am so surprised we don't see more of that at pools. What a blessing. And, what a living doll!
Well, I laughed out loud at Alyssa's fountain up the nose story. Of course, the choking and coughing makes this side of the family laugh.
