So I figured I should get caught up on what's been going on recently.
June-I went home for Kelli's graduation. The night I got there we sat in her room and talked and got caught up (a little too loudly apparently) and my mom came in to tell us we needed to be quiet. I also got to meet Dillan for the first time. He was even more precious in person. I got to babysit him for 2 days. I realized how boring staying at home can be. I will definitely have to come up with lots of activities for our kids when they come along. It was good to get a baby fix. I should be good for a while.
He's trying to get the monkeys on his feet :) I just want to eat him up!
Congrats Presh!!! (And yes, we did yell Presh from the stands)
June/July-Rexburg opened a water park at the end of June so on the second day it was opened we went with our new friends Jemma and Eric and had a lot of fun. Then we went to Applebees half price appetizers. Kevin made the observation that we now have friends that like to eat out as much as we do! This makes us very happy :)
Which brings us to another fun event. Last night Kevin, me, Jemma, Eric, and 3 other co-workers went down to Buffalo Wild Wings in Idaho Falls to enjoy some famous wings. Being the adventurous one that I am, I chose the two most mild sauces they offered. They were good, just kind of dry. The waiter was fantastic though. Eric mentioned that he didn't like the waitress that he had the last time he went and the waiter from last night (Richard) totally talked bad about the waitress as well. Next time we go, we'll definitely ask for Richard again.
They have HUGE TV screens everywhere in the restaurant. A lot have sports on them, but several have interactive trivia that you can play. They even give you little tablets so that you can play. Way fun.
July-Amie came up and stayed with us for the weekend on her way home over the July 4th weekend. It was a really fun weekend and I was sad to see her go. We didn't fight once!! That's quite impressive for us. We went grocery shopping the night she got here because I was in dire need of groceries and otherwise we would have had nothing to eat. She helped me while I subbed in nursery and became best friends with a little boy named Cole. Sunday night we went down and had a BBQ at Kevin's aunt's house with his family. They did some fireworks before we left and a cop that lives across the street brought over some other fireworks that he had confiscated last year and let us use them. It was a lot of fun.
On the 4th we went to Idaho Falls! We introduced her to Rumbi Grill (so good!) and watched the firework show on the river and then didn't get home until 2 AM. I love traffic. Especially when I had to be to work at 4:45 the next morning.
The next night (July 5th) we still had some fireworks left over that Kevin had bought so we invited our neighbors over to watch them with us. It was a lot of fun. Although about 10:10ish we see this police officer pull into our parking lot and sit over by the mail boxes. We finished the fireworks just as he's heading over to talk to us. He asked if we were going to be done soon and we told him we were already done. He told us to just remember that there are people with young children around and the sound ordinance goes into effect at 10:30. However, our neighbors that we out with us have a 2 year old and an almost 1 year old and they were getting such a kick out of it. And it wasn't even 10:30 yet and they were still legal because the kind we were doing are legal on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th in Idaho. So I didn't quite understand what the issue was. I asked if he got a phone call, and he did. Good to know we have up tight neighbors. And if you are reading this and you called the cops, you could have just come talked to us. We're quite nice people.

I think I've mentioned before that I had said that nursery would be my ideal calling. I've been subbing in it for the last few weeks and actually got called this past Tuesday. It's a little more boring than I remember nursery being when I was in it, but that's ok. It's still pretty fun.
And finally, we're leaving for Florida in only about 5 weeks. Kevin is already spending too much time researching things he wants to do down there. But we're both really excited about Disney World. It will be a lot of fun. Hot and humid, but fun.
