Idaho!

Well, we have returned from our trip to Idaho-only took us 12.5 hours going up and 15.5 hours coming back! Good news is-we survived with Hunter! He was a huge hit with all the aunts,uncles, cousins, etc. (Did we really think he wouldn't be?) He had a great time-too bad he won't remember any of it...oh well, this is why we took pictures! Jeremy helped his dad and grandpa a lot while we were there. Grandpa Cherry has a "chop-n-shop" Christmas tree farm and some of the trees (LOTS) needed to be taken out and turned into mulch so he can plant others that sell better. It was a few days and everyone helped out!








The cousins went innertubing down the Snake River and didnt reapply sunscreen often enough..












Hunter was introduced to Great Grandpa wearing the infamous overalls, plaid shirt, and fisherman's hat!











Grandpa loved it!! 











We got to go to Rexburg and do a session in the new temple and then eat at Craigos (which has really stepped up-it's now a fine dining experience and not the college hangout it used to be).











We got to see Evelyn again-she is sitting up and rolling around! She really liked Gidget and enjoyed meeting her new cousin-even if she did throw a few punches in his direction...next time he won't be so nice!! :) Hehehe

The cousins went to Egan Lake (a 2 foot puddle) at the Sand Dunes and splashed around for a bit- this was before the innertubing I think... 
Daddy and Hunter had a long time of Daddy staying home and playing with Hunter. Mom really enjoyed watching them get along-especially since the trip up wasn't as fun for Daddy and Hunter...lots of screaming and good looks. 
...Like this one.....poor guy-why must you mock him?

Ok, Honestly...

I have tons of random thoughts going through my head right now and since I am procrastinating actually doing work around the house-or working on my online class, you all get to benefit from this randomness of mine. :) 
  Hunter is now starting to talk (ooh,gaaaah, squeals of delight) and giggle! TOO fun! It is amazing watching him learn new things---actually remembering what happens when I gasp at him and he grins and laughs, watching him watch TV-regardless of how I position his little body----stinker! He is starting to roll over- he woke himself up one morning because he had rolled over and couldn't figure out why his face was buried in the sleep positioner-silly guy! (I don't know how to prevent him from burrowing down and rolling over--isn't that what the positioner is for??) He is getting too big too fast! He is now officially in 3 month old clothes (right where he should be-he is 3 months) but I was a little sad going through his little newborn things and remembering him wear things only once-then he got too big...he was so little-and yet is still so little in comparison to how he will get! 
 I am taking an online class right now to finish my endorsement and also taking a 1 credit class through the school district...the online class lasts for 6 weeks--and the one here is 3 days. After this, I am done with classes for a few years! Can't wait! I love the learning but sometimes jumping through school district/state  hoops is a little ridiculous!! When I get fed up, I reply with, "What are they going to do? Fire me?" Not a good attitude but I still have it. :S  I am very irritated because I had 3 or 4 CDs that had ALL my trainings, tutorials, etc. that I made/got from this past year of me being an ECS...and now that I am taking a web publishing class, can I find them to put on my website? NOOOOOO!!! Grrrr..and the schools are closed the month of July so I cant get in and make more copies...stupid technology! (I know it isnt the technology-its my fault I cant find them....)
    Jeremy and I are going to be taking our first road trip as a family of three~ we are DRIVING to Idaho on Friday...10 hours with a 3 month old baby boy-ALL his gear!!!(Hope it fits!), a mini chocolate fountain, random items belonging to various family members that have been left at our house over the past month and will now be returned, Jeremy's stuff, my stuff, a computer (online class-remember?), and our darling Gidget and her stuff (kennel, bowls, food, leash)....Idaho here we come!!! We are staying for a week and I am trying now to start packing, etc. so come Friday-we both won't be completely useless! We are so excited to be getting to cooler climates, leaving Vegas, and seeing all the wonderful family!!! 
  Jeremy has been riding his motorcycle to work for the past week or so...he is really good on it and knows all the different techniques, etc...he looks good! I am impressed. No pictures to post for now....will work on it. Tons will be taken while in Idaho..and truthfully, I don't want to get the camera out and then leave it...boy I would be mad!!! OK, enough procrastinating....hope you all are doing well!
