Skyler's Week

We had an amazing week with Skyler. The first 3 days of his visit was spent at the Boise State University Youth Football Camp where he was coached by the BSU Coaching Staff and learned offensive, defense and special teams drills. He got to put those skills to work playing games each day against teams in his age division which we got to watch.

He also met former BSU player, Ian Johnson, who is now with the Minnesota Vikings.

He hiked to Table Rock with Terry, rode his bicycle along the Boise River with Terry and had a picnic. He also went fishing with Terry and Uncle Dusty. Skyler says that the only one who caught a fish was the hawk that was hovering over the water!

He toured the Old Idaho State Penitentiary, the Arms of War and Transportation Exhibit with Sheri and went to a couple of movies (he has a special craving for caramel corn).

and played with cousin Ezra, teaching him the ins and outs of Legos.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fun Memorial Day weekend. Ezra took his first bicycle ride - Dusty, Kara, Ezra, Terry and Sheri rode the greenbelt along the Boise River and had lunch at the Ram on Saturday.

On Sunday evening we received some surprise visitors - Kelly & Josh's family came in to spend Monday with us. The boys brought their scooters and Chloe brought her rollerblades. They had races around the street, which also included Dusty, Kara & Josh.

Aunt Kelly couldn't keep her hands off Ezra and he thoroughly enjoyed being loved by her and Uncle Josh.

We ate at Five Guys & Fries (a family favorite) and

enjoyed playing and relaxing in the backyard.

It is so much fun when all the kids are home!

Sheri spent 7 days in Gresham with Skyler, Conner & Chloe while Josh and Kelly played in Arizona on a much needed vacation. Some of our outings included: Going to the movies, Enjoying milkshakes, Taking Chloe and Conner to swimming lessons, Taking walks every day with the kids and the family dog.

Going to Borders and buying new books. Skyler got a new Magic Treehouse Book which he wouldn't lay down.

Eating lunch 3 days with the kids at the school - their classmates starting calling me "Gram" and watching Chloe participate in a Clown play for her class. (That's her in the pink, striped shirt)

Terry came over for 2 days and spent everyday after school playing football.

and we celebrated his birthday with Skyler playing Happy Birthday on his recorder and the kids surprising Terry with a covering of "silly string" - which they (the kids) THOROUGLY enjoyed!
