Our Trip to Idaho

At the beginning of the month I went to Idaho to visit my mom and dad for almost 2 week! It was really fun to see them and work on little projects while I was there. My sister picked me up from the airport and we made the drive with 4 little kids in the back. The whole week that my sister was there was really fun for Dane because he had a 5 year old to follow around and who he thought was the funniest kid ever, a little girl 6 days older than him to bully, and brand new baby to hold and give kisses to.

All the kids helped my mom make some fresh bread and Dane was so proud of his mini loaf of bread that she made for him.

I let Dane practice being a big brother on my sister's new baby. He was obsessed and kept kissing her and would say "hi" and wave to her everytime he walked by and kept calling her "cute baby"

EVERY time I take Dane's shirt off, this is what we get.... a free trip to the gun show..

cutest little BIG trouble-maker

Ready to play in the snow and ride the sled.
He loved the sled ride grandma gave him and all the kids
Everytime I turned around Dane was eating either snow or icicles. I was funny until I saw him come from the other side of the car eating a handful of black snow from the tire-well. I ran over and made him drop it and then he just said "mmm....good!" SICK!

Ready for a mattress ride?
While we were at my mom's house she got a new bed for one of the rooms so instead of carrying it down the stairs we decided to let the kids ride it down. The only one who enjoyed it was Tyson. The other kids didn't love it so much!
Patiently waiting for his "gi-geem-cone" aka ice cream cone.
Just hanging around. He was able to hang on by himself but never long enough for us to get a good picture. He thought it was so funny hanging on the bar.
I glance over to the climbing wall where Dane had been watching his 5 year old cousin climbing and this is what I found. I really shouldn't be shocked by anything this kid can and does do. He loved following Tyson around all week.
When the kids needed something to do and we didn't feel like taking them out in the snow my mom would just go borrow the neighbors dog and it would entertain the kiddos for quite sometime. Poor dog...
Trying to keep warm with his gloves and "yat" on.

I got a new 'do. Not sure if I can pull off the short hair yet but can't do anything about it now...

the back of my new 'do
It looks even shorter when I round brush it!! Scary- I've never been a short haired girl before.
25 weeks along and lookin like I should be 35 weeks....
Thanks for the fun trip mom and dad!

You look great--and you're almost done! Did you freeze in IF? I'm jealous that you got to visit my home town, but I don't miss all that snow, I'll admit. So I've said it before and I'll say it again--Dane is SO handsome!! Do you have any names picked out for your new little man? BTW, your hair looks so cute! Who cut it for you?
