Time to Get Western!

 We got out recently to watch Addie do her thing at the Western Idaho Fair. This is her last year at this specific fair, so it was a little bittersweet.  As usual, she dominated most of both days. Could not be more proud of this kid. Her work ethic is unparalleled. To get to see her in action is something pretty special.

Happy 2nd!

Happy 2nd anniversary to us! We headed to the mountains again to celebrate - this time, putting in 500 miles to explore Wallowa Lake, Joseph, OR, and then looping up/over/through to a staggering Hells Canyon overlook. It was a beautiful mountain drive. The temps were in the low 70s, so we cruised around, windows down, to a mix of Stick Figure, Locomesa, and 90s country. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

Year 2 (or 30, depending on how you look at it) was an amazing year for us. Here's to forever more!

First Day of School - BSU

Well, here we go on the college adventure with Carter! His freshman year starts today. I can tell he's completely underwhelmed with the thought of doing even MORE school, but eyes on the prize for the long game here, and what it ultimately means for his career. Super proud to have a Bronco in this house!

Weekend Shenanigans

Evening swims, dog birthdays, and shopping at the mall - who even are we?!

First Day of School - Sophomore Year

She's pretty excited for this year - not the baby of the school anymore, and she loves all of her classes. Here's to another great school year!

B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

I have been putting in for the ticket lottery for the Savannah Bananas for YEARS now - anywhere close enough to drive/quickly fly - Denver, Portland, Seattle, etc. This last December, we finally got lucky when they announced the tour was coming to Boise for two nights. FINALLY! We didn't know at the time that it would be 103 degrees and a literal ashtray for air quality, but hey, we made the best of it! What a fun show!
