The Girls Get To See Big Brother:)

When we went on our family trip we were able to spend time in Idaho with my oldest child Skyler.
The girls hadn't seen big brother in 1.5 years so they were excitted to see him.
It chokes me up and fills my heart to bursting to look at the pictures because my son lives in Idaho and there is such an age gap between him and his little sisters that makes having these pictures a real treasure.
We took Skyler out to dinner at goodwood their ribs and sauce are amazing to bad they dont have one in California.
Here are the pictures of Tom and I and my son and 2 youngest daughters Alora and Athena when we where in Idaho.
Alora was very excitted to tell her big brother that she is turning 5 years old in August and going to kindergarten also Athena is excitted to be going to preschool in August twice a week:)

We just got back last night from our 2 week trip to Montana to visit my hubby's family.
I wanted to start out by posting about the first trip to Idaho.
I went to Idaho by myself last month for 2 relaxing weeks.
I was able to see my friends the treasure valley bums and knit with them at the flying M in Nampa ,Idaho and it was so much fun and we laughed so much my back was hurting;)

Blogging On The Road

We are in Montana right now just got into my in-laws last night from their cabin up in white sulfur springs there was no electricity or running water just out houses for toileting and you had to use the creek water for freshening up but we did have alot of fun camping with my hubby's family:)
I drafted this post before we left home so I would have some pictures to show you from my trip back home to Idaho last month.
We will be leaving Laurel,MT this friday and stopping in Twin Falls,ID to stay the night with my Aunt and Uncle then driving home on Saturday.
When my husband came back from his tdy last month he let me go home to Idaho for a much needed visit.
I hadn't seen my son Skyler or my grandson Rylan in 2 years so I was overjoyed to hold my grandson and play with him.
My son and I went out to dinner then to the movies we saw Hangover it was very funny:)
