BSU vs UO final score: 37-32!!!!

We just got back from the University of Oregon vs. BSU football game in Eugene, Oregon. We went not expecting them to win (but hoping). Nate and I left the kids in the care of my mom and Fred and jumped a on a plane to Portland the day before the game. We stayed in a hotel on an island in the middle of the Colombia River. The hotel had a dock out to the water and we had an outdoor garden path from our balcony to the pool area. K.C. , Stephy, and baby Carson, as well as Terri and Kevin and of course Katie and baby Tiger were all there. We all sat together to cheer on Dallas and the rest of the team. It was a very fun mini-vacation and the fact that we won the game made it even better! GO BRONCOS!

(The picture of Dallas holding his helmet was published in the paper and the picture with the tiny black circle is of Nate. It was also in the paper. You can't see the rest of us because of the Oregon player blocking the shot, but at least Nate and Dallas are famous.)

Twin Falls Temple Open House

We recently took the kids down to see the TF Temple first hand. It was a very sunny day and we forgot the camera, so I took the pictures with my phone. ( Not the best quality.) It was a neat experience. Eli and Tate were their usual selves. Eli wriggled and screamed wanting to be let loose and Tate kept trying to run into all the places they had roped off. However, just before we entered the celestial room they instructed us to not speak and remain reverent while we were in there. I thought, "Yeah, right", but amazing as it sounds, Eli was still in Nate's arms and Tate just looked up at the chandelier in amazement. That was the only moment they behaved the entire time, but I am thankful for that experience. Bailee was a basket case because she doesn't handle it well when the boys are naughty, but we all survived and hopefully it will be a lasting memory for them.
