A great Weekend

We had a great weekend and I didn't

want to forget how nice it was so I decided to

write it all down.

We kicked it off by going on a double date with my

brother and sister in law Casey and Tracy. We met

at Red Robin for dinner (Amazing Fries by the way)

and then went to see this...

And I have to admit...I didn't really care
about the first movie all that much. But

we LOVED this movie. Lots of action and

Robert Downey Jr makes the whole movie!

It was so much fun!

Saturday morning, James and I got up early

and braced ourselves for the crowds...

We did the Race for the Cure 5K

in Salt Lake at the Gateway. I had done it

once before and it was a great experience and

so I was excited to do it again. James and I

ran/walked the whole 5K (running more than

walking, thank you very much.) Although James

probably could have ran the whole dang thing,

he was a good husband and stuck by me! I will

get back into running shape this summer...

After the race we pointed the ol' Toyota North to

Idaho to suprise both of our moms

for Mother's Day. After a quick stop at Cracker

Barrel for a Post Race Breakfast, of course.

We got to Gooding and spent a fun time with

James's Parents in Gooding. We helped his dad

and mowed the lawn (with their awesome dixon

lawn-mower.) Where was that kind of lawn mowing

when I was a kid?! I would have complained about

my dreaded chore lots less, I'm sure, if I had

one of those puppies! We ordered Pizza and watched

a movie Saturday night and then had church and

the most amazing Sunday nap that afternoon. It

is always fun to hang out and just visit and

talk with James's Parents. I love my in-laws!

James and I were both very lucky to have great

in-laws! :)

Then we headed down to Rupert for a few hours

on our way back to Utah. It was awesome! We

got there in time to eat dessert with my mom

and grandma and brother and sister in law. Then

We went out side and helped my dad milk

cows! Just like riding a bike, you just never

forget how. It was fun to get back into the barn

and get dirty again and spending time with my dad

is always a treat. Then my sister and brother in law

came over and we played with these

cute kiddos (who are getting so

stinkin big)

and then chatted with everybody for a while

which turned our quick 2 hour stop into a 4 1/2 hour

stop, putting us back in Salt Lake at midnight!

Oh well, any second spent back home in Idaho will

ALWAY be well worth it!

Happy Mother's Day to our mom's!

We love you!!
