I was able to go to Boise for a week to visit my sister Michelle. I went to hang out and to help with her kids while she went to delivery Baby #4. We had such a wonderful time. Full of swimming, bike riding, playing at the playground, eating, taking lots of walks, crafts, shopping and best of all just enjoying the 50 degree weather outside. It was FABULOUS!!
Swimming:

Paycen loved the riding toys but...
...loathed the ball pit
I guess he still loves me even though I forced him into the germy yet colorful pit of balls.
DJ and Catherine wrestling. Priceless smile!!I tried to get a ton more pictures of the kids at this play place, but all I got was backs turned as they were running away laughing. I was the lunatic mom yelling "Kaden smile" and "Jacob come here for a sec". Yeah right.
What happens when Mom is in the hospital and Aunt Shawney is babysitting:
Yes that's right. Playing dress up. I refused at first, but I gave in when the huge crocodile tears appeared from both boys. I had to take pictures even though Ty wishes I hadn't.Finally a Baby Boy:
Meet my new nephew Benjamin Scott. Weighing in at 7lbs 11oz. What a snuggler!!

I had so much fun and was sad to leave. I wanted to just hold that baby all day everyday. The drive home went quick and the boys did pretty good. The car was a mess though with lots of goldfish crackers and fruit snacks covering the floors.
Congratulations Michelle and DJ on the new addition to your family. We miss you and Kaden still asks every morning if we can go see Jacob today. I just have to say "another day bud".

All I have to say is Thank You for coming up and spending so much time with us. We had a blast as well. I wish you could have held Ben more but I will admit that delivery is NOT predictable even with a good track record. Can't wait until warmer weather this summer and lots more swimming and biking with you guys.
Isn't it so sad not being around family that Kaden adores? That is the hardest part for us. It looks like you had a blast, sooooo lucky!
I'm jealous. I wish I could take the kids outside and do something in the WARM weather, not the snow. Mady loves the snow, but Noah hates it, so that makes it difficult. Your kids are getting so big and so cute! looks like you had so much fun. I want a week off!!
Looks like you had a blast...and I LOVE the "dress-up" picture...he he he
I love that the boys were crying to play dress up. I'd display that picture proudly at home, and make sure they always knew they were begging to do this.
What a fun week!
