My sister Amy and her family live in Paul, Idaho. Just north and a little west of my parents, about 3 hours. We only got to spend one day there, but it sure was fun and went by WAY too fast! I can't believe I didn't take my camera out to the barn or the chicken coop. There was SO MUCH wind it was SO COLD!! It amazes me how warm my hoodie feels at home, but add some wind and it does NOTHING. I became close friends with my winter jacket. the right gear can work wonders. but it was so cold, I wasn't thinking...until you get into the barn.
It is like stepping into a whole different world once you can escape the wind. The barn was warm, and there was tons of space for the kids to play and of course there were bunnies. I need to get the pics off of Chris' phone, because of course I requested he take some at least. The older kids loved playing with the barrels the most, but Brelee of course loved holding the bunnies. She even wanted to catch the chickens again when we headed over to the coop. The older kids were barrel walking and just playing push wars with the barrels, the fun things you can do with a 55 gallon drum.
I think this game is called Piarates Cove, the boys had fun playing this one.
Sole and Melissa were SO helpful playing with the younger kids. I love it! THANK YOU GIRLS! Here Sole is reading to Brelee Kate.
playing puppies with sole...they got in trouble and had to go to bed. Ezra Kreed is 2 months older than Brelee.

Amy is amazing :) I have been wanting to teach WEsly how to do addition where you carry over, I just wasn't sure of a good way to go about it, but I knew he was ready and they aren't doing it at school yet. So of course, super mom Amy to the rescue! She helped us out and now we need to practice, but I think he did great.
I know neither Amy nor I will love this picture, but I had to document a little real life. She is due any day now (around jan 10th) and I am 3 months behind her. Go figure I think I look bigger...and she is apparently at the biggest of any pregnancy. She probably will be mad I posted this but I love being at the same place in life as friends and family and experiencing things together. I had to get a pic! We have several children close in age (Trav and Enoch 2 months apart, Brelee and Kreed 2 mo apart, and now these two (2-3 mo apart) (...she is waiting to find out if it is a girl or boy, I'm hoping GIRL! for selfish reasons, but regardless they will be GREAT FRIENDS!) The other fun thing is her having older kids too. They help SO MUCH! AND Amy can teach me things I have yet to go through. She has 2 girls and 3 boys, I have three boys and soon to be 2 girls, we get to swap lots of fun things, including clothes for a while there.Amy is an amazing Mom and we are so lucky to have her family in our lives. We love you guys and can't wait for the next visit!
