So, I get home from Missoula on Tuesday night & my beautiful boys are in Boise to greet me & take me to dinner. It was such a nice break from the norm, but I missed those two SO much.
Shad did phenomenally as a single dad & Cashe did make me feel good by asking Dad, "Where is sheee?" a lot. Little sweetheart.
 |
| Our first dinner together having been in Missoula for 7 days. |
We had one playdate that week with my friend, Jessica & her 3 kids. They all came over for a water balloon fight before we got ready for my sister & her fam & Shad's sister & her fam to come visit from Missoula.
 |
| LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo of Shad & our niece, Sage. Sooo sweet. |
 |
| Cashe had a BALL with cousin Colty. |
 |
| They played outside a ton (before it started raining) & ran through our new water snake! |
 |
| Colty got thirsty & got creative. |
 |
The boys went golfing that afternoon & we got a babysitter so we could kayak to the Falls; however it rained.
And it rained.
And it rained.
So we went to Elevation 486 instead & viewed the canyon from above. |
 |
Once the rain stopped, we drove to the Falls.
(Here is my 'classic' Shoshone Falls photo.) |
 |
| Then we went for a hike & these dare devils looked over the edge! |
 |
| That night we BBQ-ed shish kebabs & enjoyed them on our high class patio furniture. |
 |
The boys checked out my baby bird nest that the birds built on the side of the house.
The eggs hatched last week & there are a ton of tiny birds.
They are so sweet (the birds & our boys). |
 |
| Having some coffee. Again, in the fancy chairs. |
 |
| Lovin' on my little man. |
 |
Little man lovin' on me!
(Not sure where the scratch on his nose came from. He's a boy!) |
 |
| The little guys had to warm up after their time in the snake sprinkler. |
 |
And they finished off the night with a little snuggly time & a movie.
So cute. |
 |
| Sunday morning the boys had ice cream sundaes (yeah, we rock as parents!) & hung out with Shad on the patio. |
 |
| Then we decided to drive to Jackpot so the boys could gamble & us girls & kids could use the pool! |
 |
| Here is Cashe enjoying his almonds through his nose apparently. |
 |
| Cousin Colty & his 12 floating devices! |
 |
Sunday night we got another babysitter so we could have a date night.
We went to Canyon Crest first ... |
 |
| The Nyquests |
 |
| The Tripps |
 |
| The Nelsons |
 |
| Then we made our way over to Elevation 486 via the walking trail & these two decided to be dare devils & peer out over the edge this time. Crazy kids. |
 |
| Before they all left on Monday, the big boys fit in one last round of golf. So, Shauna & I took the little boys to the giant toy store (while Alicia & Sage stayed home & fought off some illness they had). |
It was a fantastic whirlwind of a trip & we are so grateful to have family come see our new home & spend some time with us.
Looking forward to seeing how many of my 'classic Shoshone Falls photos' I can take this year, so schedule your trip now!
Friend!!! I had a dream last night that you were here and I was chatting on and on about all things "me" and then you were getting ready to leave. Suddenly I yelled, "Oh my gosh! I haven't asked about your race yet!" And you said, "Well I wasn't going to tell because you didn't ask." Boo on me. So - I almost didn't even read these posts so that I could ask in person. :) Can't wait for the in-person re-cap.
