Another Busy Week and Fun Weekend!

So this week, we spent relaxing. Lerin still has classes in the afternoon/evening, and I worked with Craig as a farmer--tilling, planting, rolling, etc. I even started working on my yearly farmer tan when I came home thursday night with slightly red arms and neck. It wasn't very severe, and I've since healed and am back to my usual self.

Our week was rather laid back, but our weekend got itself busy. I came home early friday night, so Lerin and I went to a session at the temple here in Rexburg. We had planned to attend the 6:45 session, but arrived a little late and waited until the 7:30 session where we served as the witness couple (a new experience for Lerin). It was good and we enjoyed our time together and in the temple--always a wonderful experience.

Saturday we spent the afternoon babysitting Andrew and Samantha while my sister Rachel coached her volleyball team at a meet up in St. Anthony. Robert had the day off and was also around helping occupy Connor's interests and sweet-tooth ("Thanks Grandpa Kurt!"). We had a good time once the twins were settled down and even got the chance to take Connor to Porter park to play on the playground, which he LOVED!

Speaking of sweet-tooths: I realized how much my dad has influenced my sweet-tooth this week when I was at the gas station, getting candy to keep me awake while on the tractor...I'm sure my siblings could make a guess at what I chose; and they would be right if they said twizzlers. I always remember those as one of dad's favorite candies to buy for road trips or just because. I just had to chuckle when I realized what I was doing and why. . . . . . Love Ya Dad!!!

Anyway, after Rachel came and retrieved her little ones, Lerin and I traveled down to Pocatello to attend our first-ever monster-truck show with our friends Chad, Amy, and their son Braxton. It was SO COOL!!! and SO LOUD!!! but we had a good time and took lots of pictures to prove that we were there. We also observed proof that it is indeed a redneck sport when we saw a 1 year old baby walking around by itself, wearing only a t-shirt, diaper, and socks. . . WOW!!

Well, until next time (whenever that may be). . . TAKE LUCK!!!

The week started off by Jennifer, Chandler and Elise coming into town. Brian and I got to spend time with them which was so much fun we have missed them so much. Then by Thursday night most of the rest of the family had arrived in town. This was also Brian's last day of FINALS!!! He is so excited to have a break. He then starts his intership with the INBRE program in Pocatello May 25.

Friday morning was my cousin Rachelle's wedding. Congrates to her and Randy we are so excited for them! Luckly they had a sunny day becuase the weather had been nasty the couple of days before. Later that night we headed down to the Dodge finals Rodeo in poky. My family always go down to that rodeo my dad sit and chat critiquing on all the evens and what they did good or bad.

Saturday Brian and I spent the day cleaning our apartment. We headed down to my parents house and finished getting ready for the reception that night. It was so fun I got to see a lot of my old friends and then they had a dance. Everyone was dancing it was crazy and so much fun. Then Randy and Rachelle rode off on his motorcycle it was awesome. We then headed back to parent's house and play band hero with the family (we tend to get kinda loud). We also had a b-day party for Adrianne her birthday was on April 7. We missed Reynold on saturday it was his 40th birthday but he had to stay home and work. :(
Finally Sunday we had a BBQ at my parents house where we fed between 50 and 60 people. We also had a birthday party for Mitchell his 3rd birthday was actually on tuesday but we decied to celebrate becuase everyone was there. Then by monday everyone was gone it was so sad for everyone to leave. Can't wait for the next big get together.
