This past weekend the kids and I went to Boise to visit Aaron. Aaron had been there since Wednesday on a business trip and would be there for 1 week, so we thought it would be fun to get out of Rexburg for a few days and spend some time with Aaron. It was so nice to finally escape Rexburg! It was nice and hot (90ยบ+) and we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather by going to the zoo and Discovery (Science) Center.
I've decided that I do really well on vacation. I can relax and enjoy my family instead of worrying about cleaning my house, making meals, getting kids off to school, etc. I am a much nicer mom. It was so nice to eat out every meal. All I had to do was decide where and what to eat....I didn't have to make it or clean it up. While we were out of the hotel, someone would come clean our room and make our beds. You just can't beat that!
So, here's the conclusion that I've come to: We either need to be on a permanent vacation, OR I need a personal chef and maid!
P.S. Thanks Deb for letting us come visit. It was so much fun seeing you and letting the kids play. They kept asking me when they could go back to play with "their friends".
Aaron recently got a new car...it's a 2006 Chevy Malibu. It's such a nice car and so pretty (although he thinks it's a "family car" and not a sporty, cool car). Anyways, since we've been married we've owned 1-Chevy Silverado (pickup), 2-Chevy Tahoe, 3-Chevy Impala, 4-Chevy Venture (van...currently own), 5-Chevy Malibu (2002-Cale's car), 6-Chevy Malibu (2006...currently own). Looks like we are a Chevy family!
This August is Aaron's 10 year high school reunion! Neither of us can believe it! I can't believe that 10 years ago I was sitting at Esser Field watching Aaron get his diploma and hoping I would be the first one to hug him afterwards....but instead...Mikaela stole it! Just kidding!
Kaden turned 3 on May 20th, so yesterday we had a little party for him. I just can't believe how old my "little monster" is getting. Even though we call him a monster, he really is my sweetheart.
Morgan graduated from preschool yesterday. I'm not sure who started all these graduations, but personally I think it's a little much. Anyways, Morgan was super excited, UNTIL she had to stand in front of everyone. Anyways, after a little bribery from me (doughnuts) she couldn't stop smiling. I'm glad school is over!

This last weekend we blessed Peyton in church. Aaron's parents and sister (and kids) came, along with my parents all from Washington. It was so nice to have family in town. They kept us busy from Thursday until Monday. The highlights were going to the zoo with my parents, going to Leo's Place with Aaron's family, swimming, swimming, swimming, celebrating Ashlyn's birthday....and best of all...just visiting and hanging out. The kids got to play with their cousins from "Walla Walla, Washington" (they love to say that) and were very sad to see them leave. They are already counting down the days until we get to go visit (32 days!).
