The man of the house is Thirty!

I really wanted to do something special for Ben when he turned thirty but trying to figure out something besides just getting together for cake was a bit of a challenge. I then discovered backcountry aerosports- its a private owned hanger where you can take aerotrike rides- so fun! I'm sure he'd have preferred something wild and crazy like sky diving but this was still a bit of excitment and he was definately surprised! I rented the place for an evening (last Tuesday) and about 15 family and friends joined us for a chilly but fun filled night. I would strongly encourage anyone to try it-seriously fun! check it out at http://www.backcountryaerosports.com/

Big boy haircut

Jack's hair was getting sooo long it looked more like a mop than anything. So I decided to give it a trim. It's amazing how a hair cut can make them look so much older! He is so good about sitting still while I cut his hair. I'm afraid it's not quite as curly as it once was but still so cute! Oh how I love this little boy.

We're busy!

Yikes it feels like we haven't been home much lately, I guess thats because we haven't! Alysia is on the women's board board at church and helped plan a retreat that took place this last weekend in Couer'dlene. I left Thursday and returned home late Saturday. We had great worship, learned tons about our awesome God and deepened some relationships with other women at church. It was a bit comical rooming with 3 pregnant ladies and of course they gave me a terrible time saying we need just one more baby. I'm not too sure about that one and Ben definitely isn't! The funniest part though was when we were all given a box with an inspiring word inside. Mine said 'fruitfull' as in a tree bearing fruit or, you guessed it, a woman bearing children. Not to mention each box was unique and mine was decorated with our wedding colors. Too funny! As for the rest of the weekend, on Sunday Ben had a softball tournament and today he left to go drag racing in southern Idaho through late Sunday. I sure hope things slow down a bit after this, it makes my head feel like it's stuck in the spin cycle! Oh ya the pic is of me and my dear friend Cathy- we stopped at Aeropostle and we so tickled with all the sale items we picked up I had the sales clerk snap our picture. I know total dork but I still love it!!
