Quick Trip

We took the weekend and drove to KS to attend the Kansas City Temple open house. (Now let me explain...we spent most of our time in Kansas with Chris's parents. The temple is actually in Kansas City, Missouri. For those who didn't know... :)  )

As always, a beautiful and special place.

Suprise trip to Idaho!

Chris had an almost-last-minute business trip (that lasted 10 days). So the boys and I decided to take a "business" trip too.

All work, no play.

The co-workers

The temporary boss

Tate worked himself to sleep.

It was a temporary job, so it (sadly) came to an end.
But...we were glad to see Daddy come home.

It's been a crazy year already

Boys and their tongues...

Time to read!

Chris and a neighbor putting Radiant Barrier in our attic...it's almost finished.

They get along about 50/50. Depends on Eli and if he wants to be nice or not. :)

We made a Chuck E Cheese trip.

And stopped for a burger. More to come...

Uh-oh

Another Merry Christmas!

Go, Idaho!

After the wedding, the boys and I hopped on a bus.

and we ended up in Idaho!

Fun with Gramma Grace, Papa Bruce and COUSINS!

We can't forget the cows,

or our redneck uncle Troy and his fox tails.

Eli "reading" the Book of Mormon before bed.

Christmas gifts - love those chaps! Now we are real cowboys!

The boys got to see Santa at the ward party in Idaho. Santa told Eli something special. He said, "Eli, I remember when your mom was your age and she sat on my knee too." It's true. I did. (I'll ask my mom to find the pictures.)

These two played together, a lot! They got to spend the day at the livestock auction with Papa and watch their cows be sold!

And I just love my boys.

Until next time...
