.:Boise:.

Josh had a nice month long break from school in between semesters, so we decided to make the most of it and headed up to Boise to spend some time with Dani and her family. Sam and Nikki came up partway through the week, and it such a blast to be together. Reece had a great time with her cousins, and still says 'Carter' and 'Andi' all the time.

On the way up, we made a pit stop to see GPSTEW in Logan. He treated Reece to Kitty #2 (the fat one) so she had two kitties to snuggle in the car.


Carter, Andi, and Reece had a great time trying to squeeze into this bag!


We hit up the park one day. Reece enjoyed her juice box, but she enjoyed the swings even more. She threw a major tantrum when I took her out of them!


While we were there, this little lady started crawling! Go Tay!


It was rainy part of the time we were there, so we found this great indoor play place called Rafiki's. There were dress up clothes, slides, climbing, a Wii, air hockey, crafts, books...you name it! Besides getting stuck at the top of the play place (thanks Carter and Andi for helping Reece out!), Reece had a great time playing with all of the toys. She was especially excited to find the Elmo outfit in the dress up clothes. She loves Elmo!


The kids also had lots of fun playing dress up at the house. Reece looked great in these teeth...


and this snazzy pink hat!


Here are our beautiful girls in the ice cream shirts my mom made for them. We'll get one of ALL the girls at Sunriver!


Remi, looking perpetually surprised!


Remi looking like a lady....not.


We also visited Dr. Harmon's chiropractic office and took advantage of the roller tables. I also let Jefferson adjust me for the first time. What was I waiting for??? I've been missing out this entire time!



Moo and Reece enjoying a book together.


We attempted to go to a Saturday's Market, but it was....interesting. There were barely any booths, and it took us about 30 seconds to walk through it. So, instead we went to the candy store and then shopping!


We went for lots of walks while we were there. Reece got her first skinned knees! The kids thought they were pretty cool in their shades!

And here are the kids watching a movie. Much to Dani and Jefferson's dismay, we introduced their kids to the Wiggles. One finger, one thumb, one arm...keep moving!


The adults had a great time playing Wii, five crowns, watching Arrested Development and eating lots of junk food into the early morning hours each nite. It was such a great week, and I really could get used to sharing a roof with all of my siblings!

It was a blast!! I do love Remi's surprise face. Can't wait to see you guys next week and then a couple weeks after that. So lucky!! And thanks for getting that Wiggle's song stuck in my head. (note the heavy sarcasm!)
