Off on an Adventure

Well my friends we are off. Tomorrow evening we are getting on a plane bound for an adventurous two weeks in the lovely state of Washington. We are so excited to be able to go and spend Thanksgiving and Travis' birthday with his side of the family. Kyler is very excited yet he keeps praying at night for the "helicopter" that wil take him to "Grama and Grampa Hoggieman" house. It is going to be sad when he realizes the truth and that it is really an airplane. So I guess what I am saying is that it might be awhile before there is a post on our site. Though I will try to do one to document our adventures I don't know if time will allow.

So here we go, with two boys and a lot of luggage, going through security, at a time they would normally going to bed, getting on the airplane that isn't a helicopter, to fly for two hours to see family we love . . . . bring it on!!

This Saturday through Wednesday we got to go back to where the romance started, Rexburg!! Travis had a few days that he could take and we ran up to go see Tavia, David, Brennan, and Junior, friends, and all the places we remember so very well! We love Rexburg! So here are a few pictures of our adventures there.

Uncle David works with the fire Department for an internship. So he gave us the grand tour and we got to sit in the firetrucks and everything.

Kyler and Eldon wanted to try on some of the gear . . . I think it'll be a few years before they will actually fit!

While there it was Jr.'s birthday! So for his present we took him to Blast Off in Idaho Falls and then out to lunch. Seriously it was so much fun! Even Travis, Tavia, and I couldn't resist playing in the balls, sliding down the slides, and going through the tunnels! It was so much fun! I recommend it to any one with two year olds!

Brennan belly floppin' into the balls!

Eldon chose to play on the bigger balls and not waste his time on the small ones.

Kyler being propelled by his Papa into the ball pit. We also got to hang out with some of our Best Buds of all time! Schad and Kyler are still the best of friends and we wish the they lived closer to us so that they could help run each other out more often.

Schad and Kyler playing cars . . .Kyler really liked the one he was playing with.

Travis and I also got to go the temple there. We were still around when they had started to build it but not finish it. So it was great to see it and go through it. Afterwards we were able to go around and visit some teachers and employers that are still around! It was great to see them and catch up!

It's it gorgeous!

We had such a good time with the Ivey's! They were great hosts. It was so fun to watch the cousins play together and have such a fun time. Kyler will definately miss the playmates, I'm just not as fun as Jr. and Brennan! Thanks we had a blast and go BYU-Idaho Vikings!

Kyler really isn't strangling Jr., it really is a hug.

An apology

I am so sorry to all those who read my blog and who have blogs of their own. I have found that I don't have the time to read blogs or update mine like I used to. And if I do get time to read yours I seldom have the time to comment. So I am sorry! For those of you who have decided to go private that I missed I would still like to view your blog! For those of you who might decide to go private in the future, I would still like to view your blog! So you are aware I love reading your blogs and wish I had more time to comment on them and read them more regularly. I appreciate those that read ours and take time out of their day to keep up with our family. We understand the value of friendship and we value yours. So thank you and again I am sorry for being neglectful!

Happy Haunting

We've had quite the week this week! We started things off with a Murder Mystery dinner with our friends here. We had so much fun! Oh my heck there is nothing like getting all dressed up and acting like you are someone else. Ryan and Chad in the back, Travis, Devin, and Bekah sitting down, and Me, Kim, and Niel on the floor.

At our Preschool we had a fabulous party! Here are all the kids and Kim and I dressed up.


Then later that night we carved pumpkins at Kim's house. We loved it, especially the caramel apples!

The face was my contribution, Travis was great to do the actual hard, neat looking ones.

And yesterday was Halloween! My Superman and Kryptonite had a fun day going to the library, trick-or-treating around town, going to our ward party, and running around at a friend's house.

Kyler in his Superman outfit!

Eldon as Kryptonite.

Kyler bobbing for apples.

Travis and Brother Holmes had a race to see who could bob the fastest. Travis got his apple in two seconds, Brother Holmes got a bite of his in three.

We love Halloween!
