Long weekend (part 2)

We came home to a fun treat, Grandma and Grandpa purchased two little lambs, we have yet to name them, but that only gives you something to look forward to.
Sunday night we spent our time cleaning and preparing out paintball gear for a fun morning of friendly competition.
We played up by Moody Meadows, and I have to say, it's one of the best places I've been so far.
Again I was the only girl, but I kind if like it...well I like to hear the big tough guys curse "I just got taken by a chick". It feeds my ego or something.

After paint balling we took the boys to see a waterfall. They threw rocks and played, and Gickos kept asking - kayaking mom?

It was fun to spend a day with Dad, which sadly doesn't happen enough, but we're thankful and proud of all his hard work and recent accomplishments at work.

After a long afternoon nap, and little dinner, we went for one last adventure...ice cream. The perfect ending to a perfect weekend.

one really fun, but long weekend (part 1)

Our weekend began with a trip to Boise where my nephew ran in the state track meet at Boise State, he took second place by only 1/100 of a second (.01) he ran his personal best and will for sure be ready for next year. He will most likely run in some junior Olympics this summer to keep training. In the picture He is the on closest to the bottom of the page...
It's wonderful and amazing what you can accomplish with dedication and hard work. Just last year He couldn't even qualify for state, and now he's the second in the state...and that's even controversial.

So we headed out Friday morning around 9am to Boise, Buster and Gickos were excited to spend the weekend with Auntie Jill and the cousins. My brother-in-law was working like a crazy person, so sadly we didn't get to spend much time with him. He did however watch the boys friday night while Jill and I hit the town.
When we arrived in Boise Gickos found a bike...and he was on this thing ALL weekend, but luckily the bike was a little squeaky, so we were able to hear it from inside the house....when it got quiet...I began to worry.
Buster thought this little car was pretty fun, although he did like the plastic trike, which he rode for about a mile round trip to the park...without complaint I must add.
The weather was AWESOME! Not to hot...not to cold, it was the perfect temperature along with no wind and no rain. This is the playset Jill has in her back yard and the trampoline...I just thought it was really cute...and it occupied the kids day in and day out.
This is Jills awesome little patio, I want to put one in this year, so I thought I'd take a picture...to prep the creative juices.

hard core nerf dudes

Gickos got this sweet nerf set for his birthday, and it SO funny to see him and Buster play. It came with the glasses, vests, and guns all in one box of fun. Im sure if I can keep track of the little foam bullets they will play with this for years.

dirty feet...

Gickos loves the bath...and the bath loves him! He gets so dirty, the dirt gets caked on his feet inside his sandals, and it doesn't come off unless soaked in a warm bath. He plays outside from sun up to sun down without rest, he would be out digging and working all day if I could keep him busy. Grandpa A. is good to let him work when he visits, and will always let him in on the action. Gickos is my busy body, and I absolutely love it and hate it all at once. I need to get that boy out to the farm, it's where those dirty feet belong.

May Showers...

It's been raining cats and dogs this month, and it really feels like April. Buster and Gickos don't care, they're Grandma let them use umbrellas one day and now they can't go without. They loved it.
