In October we traveled to Idaho to visit with our family up there. It's always a long drive, but the kids did a great job sleeping in the car and patiently finding things to do to pass the time. Here's a little recap of what we did while we were there... (We were there for 3 weeks so there are lots of pictures)
Yeah!!! We finally made it!
The first item on the agenda was a Bronco game. Nana and Uncle Bobby are huge Boise State Bronco fans and they have worn off on Micah. So he was very excited to attend his first college football game. And they won! What a fun game! Here he is with Uncle Bobby and Daddy.
Cheering with Papa and Nana
This was Ashlyn's first time in Idaho so she got to meet a lot of people for the first time. Here she is with Grandma Sue (Nathan's mom)
Ashlyn with Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Truax (Barb's grandparents)We were so blessed to have this opportunity for Ashlyn to meet her only Great-Grandpa and even be held by him for a few minutes, as two weeks later he passed away.

Ashlyn's new favorite place is in her Great-Grandma's lap!
Ashlyn had her first sleep-over, with her cousin Jasmine.
Jasmine loves holding Ashlyn's hand!
Aunt Joy-Joy, thanks for watching our baby girl so we could have a night away.
(And thanks for watching Micah for us Nana!)
We celebrated Daddy's 34th birthday while we were there. Micah came up with the idea for Daddy's cake and decorated it himself. (It's a pond with gummy fish, worms in the dirt, and a gumdrop fence all the way around.)
It was the first time in 17 years that Nathan was able to celebrate his birthday with his mom and his sister.
Aunt Becky had fun lovin' on Ashlyn
And so did Daddy...
Micah greatly enjoyed a belated birthday present from Uncle Bobby and Aunt Joy ~ his very own Bronco blanket! He sleeps with it every night.
Micah did lots of work in Idaho too! Here he is "working" on the playhouse.
Mowing the lawn with Papa is always a highlight of our time in Idaho.
Ashlyn loved the puppy Biscuit, especially pulling his hair!!
Grandma and her little princess
Feeding the ducks is always fun!

Happy Birthday!
Since we all share birthdays within two months of each other, we all went out to lunch to celebrate together. It was a fun time!
