I miss my dad!

So my dad had been staying with us for about a month while he was visiting Idaho. It was nice to have him in the house. He made sure we had ice cream every night, the kids got loved, all the little projects we had got done, and most important of all.... give me advice and his time. He flew back to Uruguay last week and even though it was time for him to go, it was hard to see him leave.

Ella & Logan's 1st day of school

So here are pics of our kids on their 1st days of school. Ella staretd Kindergarten this year and really loves it. She insisted she rides the bus and I had a harder time than she did. I followed her the entire way and made sure she got to class. You can see her waving bye to us on the bus and didn't even look back. We got Logan all potty trained and he went to preschool with no reservations. Time flies.

Rick's Guy weekend

So ever time Rick goes with his "fellas" on a "guys' weekend" I realize how wild and crazy him and the other guys can get. Rick has known these guys since high school and Ricks College days. So let me tell you what they did. So the trip started on Friday when Aaron Peterson drove from Salt Lake to Burley to pick up Justin Pond, Jerry Garn, and Jake Butikofer. They the drove to Boise to join Rick, Dave Eames, and Brent Roberts. They then arrived in Bend, Oregon to meet up with Rich Lee at about 12:30 am. Jacob Borg came in about 2:00. They then woke up @ 4:30 to get ready to go to Eugene. They got there and started tailgating with a mini kitchen Aaron had brought. After they ate breakfast they played football for an hour and then fixed lunch (I am sure they all ate very healthy food). They then watched BSU beat Oregon and then went back to Bend. Part of them came back to the house at about 3:00 and slept upstairs. Rick had a raspy voice from yelling so much, was tired from the lack of sleep, was saying crazy statements he and other boys said all weekend, and had many stories to tell but knowing him and who he went with, there are other stories me and the other wives may never know......
