Our Trip to Boise March 4-6th

On Friday in the late morning we all drove to Boise to spend the weekend. We were going for Morgan's baptism on Saturday. I was so worried about driving and how Averien would do. She actually did awesome. It takes about 3 1/2 to 4 hours to get to Boise. Averien actually slept the whole way till we got to Mountain Home (30 minutes from Boise). She pulled over there and changed her and fed her and then drove on to Boise.

When we got to Boise we went right away to meet with Annelise who took our family pictures of the blue turf at the stadium. When the football team is not practicing the field is open to the public. We went in our Boise State attire and got pictures. I even went as far as making matching blue and orange flower clips for Rachel and Averien. We had so much fun and the pictures turned out amazing. Jacob and Kaelen absolutely loved it. They loved running up and down the field. It was pretty cold and windy out buy it didn't stop the kids from playing. Our family are huge Boise State fans we wanted an updated family picture for our living room. We have a 24x20 picture of us in our living room that we update all the time and this time we had to have it on the blue turf. Our kids will remember this for a long time.

After our pictures we checked into our hotel. We then went and met Annelise, Noal, Wendy, Morgan, Ainsley and Grandpa and Grandma Fisher for dinner. We had a lot of fun eating. WE ate at a place called Soupor Salad. It is a buffet style place that has tons of soups and salads and then a pizza bar and taco bar. We loved it.

All of us but Wendy and Ainsley (they went home to bed) then went to Meridian Bowling lanes to go bowling. That was a lot of fun. I played with Kaelen so our score sucked. It actually would not have been better even if Kaelen had been playing with me. We even had the bumpers on and still did bad. Kaelen kept crossing the line though so we kept getting fouls. Kaelen also hated waiting his turn. We all had so much fun though. It was fun thing to do together as a family.

The next Morning (Saturday March 5th) we woke up and went to the mall to the Blue and Orange store where Jacob got some Boise State stuff signed by Jeron Johnson. He was a safety for the Boise State football player. Jacob loved it. Well just before Jeron Johnson was to leave the owners came up to us and said that Jeron wanted to give him a jersey with Jeron's number on it and signed. It was amazing. Jacob was so dang excited. It is a white football Jersey that retailed for $50. Wow, what an amazing thing to get for Jacob. I was so impressed. The owner said how much he loves their fans. That I think was the highlight of Jacob's whole trip this weekend.

Morgan was baptized in the afternoon. It was really awesome to be there. Jacob really loved it. Kaelen loved running around so Enoch wasn't their for any of the talks. It was a Stake baptism so they had other kids form the stake there too. We all sat in the chapel for the talks and then each ward was taken at separate times to the Relief Society room where they were baptized and confirmed. Kaelen loved watching Morgan get baptized. When she was done and they were closing the doors to the font Kaelen still sat on the floor watching. It was really cute. We were so glad that we could be a part of Morgan's baptism on her special day.

After Morgan's baptism we went to Noal and Wendy's for dinner with the Fisher and Park families. It was a lot of fun to hang out. Jacob and Morgan went and played the knect. They loved that. It is a totally awesome game that uses no remotes. It senses your body and you do different games just using your body. Amazing. We really loved hanging out with Noal, Wendy, Morgan and Ainsley. All of our kids get a long so well and we always loved being with them all. We ended up staying pretty late that night too.

The next morning after sleeping in we woke up and packed up and went to say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma Fisher because they were heading back home and we wouldn't see them for a while. It was nice to see them for a bit and have our kids say goodbye. Our drive home on Sunday went really well. Averien once again slept really great. It was so nice. I hope she drives that good all the time. We loved our weekend with family. It was so much fun.
