Frank & Celine have been in the states for 3 weeks, they spent a week here in Idaho!!

(they get 35+ days of vacation a year)

We love when he comes to visit. Hard to believe that July will be a year that we were in Europe!!

They came to Boise and we went to Temple grounds, Mall for shopping and last minute gifts for back home and our dinner at Red Lobster. We have eaten here twice by accident and this time we made it a tradition. Dad loves shrimp!! Shaydon touched the live lobster, but was a little un sure.

Frank is going to be a GREAT dad he did so good with Shaydon & Landon.

We wish them luck with there new house and will see them soon. (11.11.11)

Thanks for making time to come and spend with us!!

Love you two!!

This food show put Cost-co to shame!!

(enjoying the ice cream out side it was 78 degrees today)

My dad had a food show in Boise & Mimi came up too. It was fun to all go together and try all the new & existing products. There were some good ones!! Can't wait until they come in. I also introduced them to Cash n' Carry. I worked in the afternoon so they watched Shaydon for me.

AWESOME babysitters!!!

Thanks Again

Auction weekend vs Confrence Weekend

Good thing for DVR

My dad had the Burley Community Sale on Saturday and another one in Twin on Sunday so we went to Burely to help out.

me and dad

trying to keep shaydon warm

It was pretty cold in the morning, but afternoon it sure warmed up. I think we ran out of everything on Saturday. It started at 9:30am and didn't get over until 10:30pm, it was dark. There was lots of junk and we were walking hamburger's. It was nice to see KC and Kayla there too, they are such good workers. I know my dad needs the help right now too. Dad just loves to show off shaydon. If we would of let him he would of stayed at the Auction all day. Thanks you to Todd Brenda and Lindsey for watching him. My dad also went to a funeral in the morning.

It was a busy day....

Missing

my mom

Our trip to Seattle

Sickie WEEKEND-Week

Shaydon and I headed to Burley for a weekend. I had a dentist appointment on Friday morning and then just went to see family. Mimi watched Shaydon while I went to the Dentist. I was pretty sore and tired after my apt. so I took a nap while Shaydon and Dad played for 2 hours together. Thanks for letting me sleep. Needless to say it was a start of our sick week to come. Shaydon and I with the flu. Scott with the upset stomach. Scott arrived with the Perkins by 8:30pm. Scott's parents are returning from SLC so we will be able to see them too (before they fly off to Hawaii). It's always nice to be around family and have the extra help. I forget how much help they are. My Brother was there also so it was nice to see him too. Thanks for a relaxing weekend. We headed back on Saturday Night after dinner with the Gerratt's and helping out at Al's with some dishes!!!

When Grandma Hunt comes to town.....

Grandma's are always there when you need them. I needed a babysitter on Wednesday for two hours at 12:00 noon, and she saved the day. Not only did she travel 2 hours for the job, but she got to watch Shaydon & Landon!! She played with the kids all day until Landon went home. We just hung out at the house and then did some errors she needed to to. She was coming down on Thursday anyway for a check up with her oncologist I just had her come a little early. Which went really well. Everything looks good and she only has to go 2 times year now. That night she received a facial from Panache that was long over due (for her birthday almost a year ago). She ended up staying until Friday and spent most of Friday with Tyson and Landon at his house, he has Friday's off. Cooking, Cleaning, Organizing and visiting. Thanks so much to dad for letting her come and holing the fort down in Burley while she was here. We had lots of fun and hope they come back soon. It's always hard when she leaves because 1. We will miss her and 2. Shaydon doesn't want to entertain himself he wants 24/7 attention that grandma gave him. So it takes a day or two before we are back into our schedule. Thanks again MOM!!

Shopping & Trolly Ride...

We spent most of morning being lazy and then got up and went shopping by 9:30. We went to Target, Shopko and the Mall. We are crazy to venture out! There was hardly anyone out.. CRAZY huh... I thought there would be more. After shopping we worked up an appetite and ate at On the Border for Lunch. It was thee BEST Shaydon has done at a restaurant. I was such a proud MOM. We finished up the night on a trolley ride around a subdivision with very good lights.


One of the houses we saw on our trolley ride!!!!

Waiting for our Hot Coco & my favorite Carmel Apple cider to end our night with!!!!

We are having so much fun!! YEA!!!!

santa did come!!!!!

Shaydon had no idea what was coming this morning. He did find his buss and never let it out of his sight. My mom and dad were already up with him and Scott and I were still sleeping until he came in pushing his buss and dancing. He was the cutest!!! We opened the stocking and then the presents. Lots of fun... Shaydon was pretty into the presents and went from one to the next and then back like he had never seen that one before, except for the bus!!!

Shaydon just walking around checking things out

We went to Juston's house for a delicious breakfast with his family. Hash browns, sausage, little smokies, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy & OJ. It was fun to see what the kids got and then they opened up all of our gifts it was like two Christmas's the kids said. Thanks for letting us come over eat, hang out, visit and enjoy your company.

We came back home and relaxed while playing cards. Dad watched a movie. We learned a new game "Golf"? It was pretty addicting, but Phase 10 took most of the afternoon until dinner was ready. Pretty traditional food. Turkey & Ham, cranberry's, mom's pretzel fresh raspberry jello, mash potato's and gravy, Rebecca's sweet potato casserole and home made rolls. DELICIOUS. We have lots of leftovers to last a week. We also did a gift card exchange with stealing involved. It was lots of fun too. We got a game of Texas Hold'em going with our $1.00 per person Annie, Mom ended up wining th $6.00 pot!

It was a really good Christmas considering all our new traditions we are starting. Can't wait until next year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas Eve

such proud grandparents

playing with there new toy

landon was so smiley tonight

could not get a good pix of both of them together!!!

tyson is so good with him, landon just lights up when they play together

We ended up having Landon for a few hours & made the most of it. It's been 4 months since my parents have seen Landon so there was lots of catching up to do. We started off by eating dinner an Italian theme, opened presents, changed into PJ's, took photos and pack up and headed out on the ucky roads to take Landon back. The most snow in Boise since we've lived here, not to mention the wind. Once we got back, out came the snacks & dad and Scott started a movie while mom and I worked on getting dinner ready for tomorrow. It was a late night, but we are ready for the big day tomorrow!!!

It was nice to have it SO snowy in Boise, it was like we were in Burley!!!

It was different doing most of our opening/stuff on Christmas Eve, but a good new tradition to start with Landon & Shaydon. They both got new PJ's & spoiled rotten!!! We love them both so much and were glad grandma & grandpa Hunt were here to share it with. It was nice to start our own traditions & be with our immediate family although we did miss our extended family.

Christmas Eve Day.....

Sledding on Simplot Hill

Sooo fun!!!
