Having fun in Boise

I have enjoyed living in Boise so far even though it doesnt really feel like I actually live here yet. Hopefully once we move into our house it will start to feel more like home and less like a never ending vacation.

Stockton seems to be enjoying the wide open spaces. He has become obsessed with his Uncle Scott's "tractor" and loves helping Daddy mow the lawn while we are out there.
Daddy is also trying to get him into football, much to his mother's disapproval. I think he has too many other better sports to focus on rather than football, like basketball, soccer, ice hockey, tennis...anything other than football. I must say though, he sure was cute to watch. I guess if he stays this cute instead of turning into a bone headed jock, then he can keep playing.

This weekend was full of adventure. We went biking along the Boise river on Saturday and then four wheeling all day Sunday. And then Troy decided he needed another day off work so he decided to have the stomach flu all night Sunday and Monday. You would think after having 4 months off work that he could work a full week, but I guess it's just something he needs to gradually ease back in to. Just kidding, I am glad he is feeling better and hope Stockton and I are lucky enough not to get it. He was miserable.

As you can see, this kid LOVES playing in the water. It was FREEZING cold, but you couldnt get him out of it. He must get that from his father. Troy will swim in any water. Once his clothes were soaking wet and his feet were bright red, we pulled him out kicking and screaming.

It was a long drive to go four wheeling and Stockton was getting very grumpy in his car seat so I decided once we got on to the dirt roads in the mountains, that I would let him out and just sit on my lap. I grew up riding around on dirt roads, so what would it matter, right? Well, apparently that wasnt enough for him. He wanted to help Daddy drive. Of course, it didnt take long for Daddy to give in and let him sit on his lap. He loved it.

Tell me this kid doesnt just belong in the outdoors...

He was definately pooped out by the end of the day.

This coming weekend we are going to the Emmett Cherry Festival with my sister and her family when they come through on their way to Oregon. I can't wait to see them and hopefully convince them that they want to live in Idaho, too!!
