FABULOUS Weekend!!!

We had a wonderful weekend--it was very FULL & EVENTFUL!! Friday Night we went and dropped Tyler, Brandon, Kara, and Emily off at Lynn and Debbie's. The kids were VERY EXCITED to get to go spend the night and Grandma & Grandpa's!! Troy and I (and Brooke) then went out to dinner. We have not done that (without kids) for a long time--it was fun to sit and visit. Then we went over to the Dollar Theater to go see Australia, but it didn't start until 11:00 at it was 9:00 and we didn't want to wait. We then headed over to Walmart to do some shopping--there is always stuff we need at Walmart!! We just wandered around the store for about an hour-just looking around--I guess mostly taking advantage of kids not being with us!! It was actually pretty fun--Brooke just sat in her car seat and smiled the whole time--she didn't even sleep!! Troy looked at all the electronics and we just dilly dallied around like we had nothing better to do. I then grabbed the few groceries that we needed and we left Walmart at 11:00 p.m. and headed home.

We got up the next morning and headed over to the Boise Temple at 7:30--Megan was sealed to Scott and Carol.
What an AWESOME experience to be apart of!! It was neat to be in the Temple with our whole family!! Thanks Amber for watching Brooke!! Megan, we are VERY HAPPY you made this wonderful decision!! It was a little chilly out there taking pictures--Scott wanted to take more--but we decided we would take more when it gets warmer!! Ha Ha Scotty!! :)

Then we all went to Breakfast at Golden Corral--Thanks Mom and Dad!! It was fun to just relax and visit with everyone and not worry about fighting and feeding kids!!

Ya, the guy we asked to take a picture of our Family would not stand up to take the picture, so you can not see Richard, Karen, and Grandpa!!

We then did a little bit of shopping, taking advantage of having only one baby with us! It was fun to just be together. Sherri and Amber shopped a little with us and so did Scott, Carol, and Megan---thanks Megan for toting Brooke around for us!!

It was 3:00 and we decided we better head back to Nampa and pick up the kids before Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Lynn began wondering if we were going to ever come back. When we walked in the door, Emily of course was happy to see us, but the others pretty much ran and wanted to stay longer--Tyler went and hid from us!! They all had a BLAST and Grandma and Grandpa's--THANKS Lynn & Debbie for keeping them!! Tyler, Brandon, and Kara are still talking about how much fun they had--the only reason Emily isn't, I'm sure is because she doesn't talk much!! :)

Off to Homedale we headed--we took the kids bowling with Sherri and Clint's family and Scott, Carol, and Megan. We really had A LOT of FUN!!! The kids had never been bowling--well except on the Wii.
It took the kids about an hour and a half to complete a game--and when it was over they wanted to do another one--they were real troopers!! It was 7:00 when we finished and we had not fed them dinner---but they wanted to skip dinner and play another game--YA RIGHT!!

We went to Sherri's and fixed Hawaiian Haystacks--YUMMY!! Thanks Sherri!! (The Picture is blurry--but so cute, so I posted it anyway!) Then of course, we just hung out and visited and the kids played and had A BLAST!! We left there at 11:00--yes an hour before midnight!!

What a LONG day, but FUN day!! This was one day we were glad we had church at 1:00!!
