Trip to Boise

This weekend we drove up to Boise (Caldwell) to stay with some good friends of ours, Nate and Joanna Morin and their kids, Kade(4) and Brooke(1). We met the Morin family when we lived in Boise for a year in 2006. We were in the same ward and even though we have both moved out of that ward over two years ago, we have still remained friends and have visited each other on three different occasions since moving away. Friday night we spent the night catching up with them with many stories and laughs! Saturday was the race, afterwards the guys went and played some golf while we visited and watched the kids. We had a BBQ that night with the best tasting hamburgers I have had in a long time! Great job Nate! We played a serious game of Settlers of Catan snacking on yummy food while laughing our heads off, followed by some oreo cookie contests and arm wrestling...yes I know, we are weird...but we had a blast! Sunday we got to hear Joanna sing in sacrament with two other girls from their ward. They did a fantastic job!! It was a beautiful song! Then sadly we had to drive back to Pocatello after church.

My gorgeous friend, Joanna

Kade and Madi play so good together. They were making each other laugh the whole weekend... with funny faces, yelling at the top of their lungs, singing songs, riding their truck, playing in the backyard, wrestling around, lots of hugs, holding hands several times,(which I am sad I didn't get any pictures of!) and mostly pretended to be monsters or dinosaurs with sound effects included.Kade and Madi riding around on the truck


Wrestling...or something like that.

"Rarrr!!!"
Madi and Kade took a moment to quickly pose for the camera in the middle of their dinosaur roarings...

It was so good to see our friends and hang out like old times. Thanks for a great weekend!
