My sister-in-law Michelle (Bassett) came and stayed with Ben & I for a few days and I thought I'd share with you our adventures. First off, we got to go to the Twin Falls Temple site on Thursday and got pictures. We convinced one of the construction worker to take a pictures for us. Beautiful!
Then Bart came up on Friday night and Saturday, we met a few of my neighbors at the park and did slack lining. It's kind of like tight rope walking except for it's not very high and the line doesn't stay completely still. You have to learn how to make it stay still. Fun and interesting!
The actual reason for the whole trip was for Bart to bring up the bed that he made me. It turned out amazing and Ben and I absolutely love it. Ben said he wanted a big bed and he got it. The head board itself is 6 feet tall. Yes, I have to step on the edge to get in, but I love it:)
Saturday night we got to go to the Monster Truck show that was in Twin. Ben doesn't look real happy, but we all had a blast. It was so much fun spending time together.....and the monster trucks were cool too;)
And then, after the show was over, we got to go down and take pictures by the trucks. I am She-Woman, the most amazing, crazy strong twig woman in the world! Just kidding, but it was an awesome picture moment. All four of us posed that way once I started it. We had a great time. Spending time with family is one of the most rewarding thing ever. Have a great day:)

Summer.....Spring fun

This is Chris's fun new summer toy. We don'g have a pool around here(that is within reson of pricing) and the Snake River is a bit big for my 4 (almost 5) year old. Well, Monday was our first time trying it out. We had my neighbor, Becky, and her 3 kids, Russel-5, Chanel-almost 3, and Ambree-3 months, come play with us. Chris is climbing the rock climbing portion to get up to the slides while Chanel's aiming one of the the cannons at the slide.

This is Chris playing on Monday on the smaller slide. He's figured out that if you stay to the left, you can avoid getting sprayed by the shower sprayer that keeps the slide wet. It was over 70 degree's, but that water was still really cold.
Chris and Russel would race to the top, then let each other go down first because if they went down together, they'd splash on each other. It's one thing to splash on yourself, it's another to have someone else splash on you!
This is the 3 of them playing at the end of the bigger slide. The water was shallower and had an easier time warming up in the sun then the bigger pool. They had a blast! And us smart mothers' put them in sunscreen, but forgot to apply our own. Oops! But can't complain about a beautiful day, enough to get sunburnt and swim, in early May:)

Love the fam!

Rewind! This is Tara, Jaycee, KaDee, and I in Cody, WY swimming at the Rec Center over Christmas. It was freezing outside so we found inside activities and made the best of it. It had a slide, play toys, hot tub, deep end, and a lap area. Others that were there were Britnee, Jacob, Cody, my mom, and Bret. During the week that we were there we also had a blast going to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks and National Treasurer 2. We had cousins and other family come over too and we had fun eating and playing on Bret and Heidi's singstar. We got to do a lot of catch up with family we don't see very much and it was nice to catch up with them. I love my family.

$#%^& Toe!

Hey all........4 of you that read my blog(Tara, Teresa, Tia, and Jaycee). If anyone else reads my blog, hey to you too. I just wanted to write about my horrable accident the other day, if I told you about over the phone, bare with me, if you read it on the myfamily web sight, bare with me too. But the other day, I was getting ready and as I walked out of my closet, I stubbed my toe on this wire basket just out side my closet door. And this was no ordinary "Ouch, I stubbed my toe!" This was a "$%^&#$%$ bugger, son-of-a, danget all to heck" stub your toe. And the basket wasn't some little basket, it was heavy, and quite solid I found out. I've encluded a picture so you can somewhat share my pain.

About me!

I am Kelly....I am married to Ben....and we have a the cutest little boy named Chris. We live in our cute little house in our cute little neighborhood in Idaho. My husband does AI for dairy cows. I have the joyous pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom and love it. I keep busy with Chris, cleaning, and reading. Sounds boring but I very much so enjoy 2 out of the 3 of those activities;) I love to dance, though I don't get to do it much anymore. I love my own little family. I also love my bigger family. I am the baby of 5 in my family. We're all married now and are making our big family bigger and I love it. And I think that about wraps it up.

PBR

My mom, dad, husband and I got to go to the PBR in Nampa April 4th and 5th. It was a good time. We really enjoyed watching the bulls and riders. We also enjoyed each others company. We had a great time hanging out at the mall, swimming in the pool at our hotel, and just spending time together, that we don't get to do very often. This trip isn't as much for the bulls as it is just a fun time to spend time together. I enjoy spending time with my family and love them very much!

It is a beautiful day! I'm awake, I had a good nights sleep, my husband and son love me, I have a nice warm house to stay in, and I couldn't be more blessed. I woke up with a shock this morning though. My little boy got his immunization shots yesterday for Kindergarten and was fine yesterday, but woke up in tears this morning because his legs hurt. Poor little guy is usually running around like a chicken with his head cut off, but today his is sitting very still and has already asked me to carry him around. But he's a trooper.
