Home to Idaho

On August 15th we finally got to go home to Idaho and I was so happy! I haven't been home since Christmas and that is just way too long. We only got to stay for a week, but we still had a great time and I just want to thank my Mom and Dad for taking such good care of us and making sure that we got to do everything we wanted while we were there. Myles got to go fishing everyday with my Dad or with my brother Matt and watch the Olympics at night, Olivia was able to play with her cousins everyday all day and she absolutely loved it, and I got to relax, be with my family, eat so much good food (you can't beat Mama Walker's cooking), go to the Playmill and visit the BYU-Idaho campus... it was like heaven. I miss home a lot, so when I get to actually go I try to take full advantage of my time there. The weather was great (it's rained everyday in Seattle since we've been back) and everything is just so peaceful and laid back at my parents house that it's impossible not to love it. We were also really glad that Olivia had that time to spend with some of her cousins and get to know them. She had such a blast with all the kids and when we left she cried so hard for her cousins , saying through her tears "I need to see my cousins." It was very sweet. Myles said we can go back for Thanksgiving since I can't go at Christmas (which breaks my heart) because I could go into labor at any time, so hopefully that works out and we'll be able to see everyone again in a couple of months. So anyways we had the best time ever and wanted to share a few pictures of our time in Idaho...most are of Liv with her cousins.

Liv with Savanna & Whitney. She loved the trampoline, but everyone had to sit down while she jumped because she was still really nervous about it. She's such a cautious girl.

My Dad took all the kids to the splash park in Rexburg so my Mom, Eryn, Amanda and I could go out to lunch and Myles and Matt could go fishing. They all had a blast (except Olivia,she doesn't like things that spray her...too cautious) and by the end of the day they were out!

Ice Cream cones are a huge hit at Granny and Poppi's house...yum, yum!

Liv and George on the way to Island Park to stay at Russ and Eryn's Cabin. Georgie would smile except whenever I asked him to for a picture. He and Liv had a really good time. She tried to beat him up a couple of times (not so cautious) but they both survived.

We all went floating down the river while we were in Island Park and Georgie was so excited that he ripped off all of his duds to hop in before anyone could stop him.

Amanda and Jefferson getting ready for the float. Jefferson is such a good baby, he smiles all the time except when he's crawling and Olivia's trying to ride him like a horse...whoops (thanks Joel and Amanda for your patience with her).

Liv w/some of her cousins that she grew to love so much before they all plunged in the water.

Myles and I celebrating 4 years of marital bliss...we still got it! I love you babe!

Whitney was the first one to dive right in even though the water was freezing cold and I mean freezing cold! I think it shocked my entire system when I got in and it took forever to get used to. Olivia was also not lovin the cold water, but after awhile she got used to it and as long as she was on Mama's lap she had a good time.
