Travelin' Fools


What a whirlwind! On Wednesday Brad, the kids and I took off for Boise. He had meetings and the kids were out of school so it was definitely a great chance to visit friends and family. Brielle is always happy to see her Papa.


We arrived in the evening, but on Thursday we were able to visit with friends and see more of my parents. Grandma makes sure she gets extra time with the kids and she took the boys swimming before they went to play at their friends house.


She woke up after I snapped this..




Not happy to be woken up.





Brad and I went out to dinner at PF Changs with a group of his coworkers and the girls stayed with Grandma and Papa. The boys were with their friend Simon...we also call it heaven.
On Friday we took off for Montana! It was quite the drive and wasn't without car sickness. Christian mentioned one time that his tummy didn't feel well, and before we knew it he was blowing chunks in the backseat...Not pretty. We didn't get in too late, but we were so tired it felt late. We went up for several reasons; Brad's cousin is a senior this year and we wanted to see him play in his last football game, some of Brad's family had not met the girls, and we had not met Cate (Tawny's baby).

Tough times...











It got better.

We were also able to visit my Uncle Joe and Aunt Jackie while we were in Missoula. The kids were very impressed with them since they have a Wii, and the admiration grew when they discovered Joe is a clown with The Shriners. Give boys clowns and video games and they are in heaven. It was great to see those tow because they had never met the kids, and I myself hadn't seen them in almost 10 years!
Me, Jackie, Joe, and the kids.
