NCAA tournment in Boise

Scott went to the games here in Boise with his brother Eric & Dad. They were gone all day 10:00am -10:30pm. They got there tix 2 years ago and have been looking forward to this for a long time.

So since the boys were gone the girls went to Costco for food for the weekend, Alisa & Bailey, Me & Shaydon went to story time at the library and then we meet up the Zack, Lily and Nic & they played all day outside in the 70+ degree temps with no naps!!!

they had such a fun night topped off the grilled cheese and cookies for dinner.

Someone asked us are they twins? Loved having someone in the cart with him!!

Playing in the sand, it was in every crevasse he had!!

The cheering section!!

We are very proud of dad's team!! They were #1 seat in their division and they won the BIG game!! All season their games have been on Tuesday night and I work so we were only able to attend one regular season game, one playoff game and then the championship game!! Scott had a GREAT game we are so proud of him. After the playoff game they were all pretty sore and only had one rest day before the championship game. So they decided to sit in the hot tub at Gold's & rehab their "old" bodies. They think they are still in their teens. We know different, since the first thing he does when he gets home is reach for the ibuprofen bottle!

We love you dad!!

Missing

my mom

Our trip to Seattle

$38.92

is how much 5 Lg bags of grocery's cost me at Albertsons or Albi's

(for you who are coupon shoppers)

Today was my first trip to Albertosn for coupon shopping

(I always thought they were too expensive)

My BEST deal was Campbell's Tomato soup on sale for .59 cents and I had a coupon that saved me .40 cents so I got them for .19 cents each.!! Yea for me!!

Depending on how much time you have it can be very addicting(trying to get the best deal)

BUT

rewarding when you look at your receipt and see you saved

$22.98

Heitzmans

It's always nice to have family come to town. Jeff and Regan stayed at our house for the State games and we had a GREAT time. Regan just loves Shaydon and never let him get out of her sight!! She was such a good help. I told here before she left that Shaydon will not know what to do with out her. He will have to make decision with out her help. Thanks for watching him Regan, We love you!!!! They even help us clean to get the house ready to show on Saturday!! Your the BEST!!!

Regan and Shaydon

Our Computer got a virus and hasn't been running off and on for weeks. Sorry for not keeping in touch. It's amazing how much we rely on these electronics to work and when they don't it is so frustrating and time consuming

A HUGE Thank you to Dustin for helping us out!!

Happy Birthday Landon

What could be better than pizza, toys, cake, jump houses, goodie bags, soda, presents

and lots of kids?

Nothing

Shaydon had so much fun helping Landon open his present & playing on the jump house. You would think it was Shaydon's present with that expression on his face.

(Cute choice of outfit for Landon's 1st Birthday. Shaydon gave it to him for Christmas!)

Thanks for a fun night!!!

Ida's Big Day

Our dearest friend Ida got married on Saturday to Daniel. It was a bitter sweet marriage. Her 1st husband died of MS 4 years ago. It's hard to see her move on, but we wish her the best!!

We love you Ida like a mother. Congrats on your big day!!

Legos

Here is the tower that Scott and Shaydon built tonight!!

Okay Scott built it and Shaydon destroyed it!!

Afghanistan

Our 1st stop was Burley on Thursday night. We stayed at my parents house. Burley is such a GREAT half way point. I had a dentist appointment at 8:00am. Scott took Shaydon over to see his parents and have breakfast in the morning. I was done by 9:00 and we were on the road by 10:00am. Thanks everyone for helping us get out of town.


Our 2ed stop on our trip to Utah was Maddox Diner in Brigham City. We've never ate there, but the Gerratt's love it. So we invited Alisa & Bailey to come and eat with us!! Shaydon and Bailey are only 4 months apart, but we haven't gotten to see her since Thanksgiving.


Final top Sandy, Utah!!! 6 hours later... We made it. We haven't been to Utah for a long time. We couldn't think of the last time?! How sad. We love to be at the Harding's they make us feel like were at home. She always make something wonderful to eat. Scott said get the recipe from her. Also Dave is leaving for Afghanistan on Monday morning for 12o day's. We didn't want to disrupt their last weekend with them, but they insisted we still come. Oh, the fun we had:

• Watched Madagascar 2
• Relaxed & Visited with everyone
• Watched Dave repair, paint the walls, doing his last "Honey Do's"
• Scott went Snowboarding at Brighten
• I went Shopping at IKEA
• Dinner on Valentines at Club Med it was a Mediterranean Restaurant that was GREAT!!! (too bad I was sick, Thanks Lex and Log for watching Shaydon)
• Went to Sacrament with the family
• Played Rock Band
• Took lots of Naps

Thanks for letting us be a part of a special weekend with you guys.

We love you so much!! Until next time

Maple & Brown Sugar

Shaydon hasn't been eating very well since we were all sick.

So when he won't eat anymore for me I let him help himself.

Just requires lots of clean up.

2009 Special Olympics

Boise Idaho is celebrating this special occasion and we went Down Town to feel the spirit of the Olympics. They had booths set up with local vender's, games for everyone to play, ice sculptures, food and entertainment. FREEZING weather. The Grove hotel was hosting the Figure Skating and scheduled to be over at 6:45pm, but we were there at 5:30pm and it was already over. After taking in the sights about 45 minutes we decided to go the the Fair Grounds and see the events there, They were not suppose to be over until 8:00pm. We got there by 6:30pm and no one was hardly left in the parking lot. Over early too. I guess it just wasn't' meant to be!!! How sad.









There was a fan board to sign your name on(10X5 feet), Shaydon is officially a fan!!!

McCall, Idaho

this was my favorite. Sorry the pix is not very good. It's a grove of trees with faces on each one. With a castle in the middle.

We went to the Winter Carnival on Friday after work (it started to snow when we were in Donnley) and headed back on Saturday night. We stayed at my brothers cabin and it was beautiful. It was a short trip, but worth it.

We went to breakfast at the pancake house walked around the ice sculptures which were really good this year and sat in the hot tub! it was a nice relaxing trip. Thanks to the Hall's for letting us stay. We look forward to our next trip up there.
