Boise Trip

I have to admit, being a teacher does have it's perks. Like two days off for "Fall Break". We decided to go to Boise to hang out with my mom while my dad was hunting. It was seriously one of my favorite Boise trips to date...despite the fact that so many family members were missing. We started the drive off after work on Wednesday, which made for a long night. Luckily this guy was amazing on the drive down...

The days to follow included crafting GALORE and a trip to the new Hobby Lobby.  My mom and I made Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations and I even got things for a new Christmas wreath (which I have since finished and can't wait to hang it up!) We went to Centennial's football game where everyone oogled over Gavin in his plaid onsie, puffy vest and beanie. He was seriously so adorable...even when he spit up all over. We also went to my cousin's football games and had fun in the rain. 

The day we drove down was Taylor' birthday and we were so lucky that my mom offered to watch Gavin for the night and gave us her free hotel room. We celebrated at Cottonwood Grille and it was so nice to be out just the two of us since Gav was born. I know I'm lame because I did not take ANY pictures of Tay's birthday celebration. We are also so awesome because we were in bed and asleep before ten. I guess you can tell we are parents of a three month old! 

Friday we took Gavin swimming for his first time. I thought he might love it because he LOVES his baths. Whoever gives him a bath ends up soaked because he kicks and splashes the whole time. Unfortunately we have a baby who is into EVERYTHING that is going on, so between the swimming lessons, the three year old trying to splash us, and the loud fountains in the baby pool he was a little overwhelmed. He never cried, but this is pretty much what he looked like the whole time...

We did get him to kick his feet a little, but there was absolutely no way he was going to smile. This was as close as we got...

Gavin loved hanging out with Grandma, and she was SO nice to takeover all the night feedings a few nights so we could sleep. We love you Grammy! We can't wait to go back to Boise, hopefully next time we can add more family members to the party.
