HAPPY FATHER'S DAY AND OTHER STUFF!

LATELY, IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE HAD QUITE A BIT GOING ON. OUR FRIENDS, THE HIGBEE'S HAVE BEEN UP FROM BOISE FOR AWHILE FOR MIKE TO DO AN INTERNSHIP AT FORT HALL, THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH JEN'S PARENTS AND WE HAVE ENJOYED HANGING OUT WITH THEM. THE CADYS, JARED'S BEST FRIEND MIKE, AND HIS WIFE ANGELA WERE UP FROM FLORIDA FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH THEM TOO. THE DUDLEY'S AND MARSHALLS WERE AROUND TO PLAY ALSO, AND THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING. I HAVEN'T TAKEN A LOT OF PICTURES SO THIS WILL JUST BE A BLOG...BORING SOME MAY SAY! WE HAVE BEEN OCCUPIED WITH THE SAME OLD SUMMER STUFF-WORKING ON THE YARD, HELPING FARM IN SODA, SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY, AND JUST OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON. WE HAVE ENJOYED THE PAST COUPLE WEEKENDS HANGING OUT WITH AUNT NIKI AND TREVY AS WELL AS NANA. WE WENT TO THE FAMILY LIVING FUN DAY LAST WEEKEND AND THAT WAS ALOT OF FUN FOR THE KIDS. IT HAS BEEN RAINING A TON SO ANYTHING TO GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE WHEN IT'S NICE FOR A BIT, HAS BEEN IDEAL. THEY ENJOYED JUST WALKING AROUND ROSS PARK SEEING BOOTHS, KIDS, FOOD, ETC...NIKI AND I ENJOYED GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR FREE ALSO. THIS PAST WEEKEND STARTED WITH JARED, TROY, MY STEP-DAD, AND MICHAEL TORGESEN HELPING WITH OUR GARDEN. YES, WE FINALLY GOT THE RAILROAD TIES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. WE ABOUT GAVE UP AND THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED-YIPPEE! THEY PUT THAT TOGETHER AND I WENT TO LUNCH WITH HAILEY DYE, BRITNEY OFISA, AND HEATHER JENKS SINCE HEATHER MOVED YESTERDAY. WE WILL MISS HER AND WISH HER FAMILY TONS OF LUCK. THEN FRIDAY NIGHT, NIKI AND I ALONG WITH OUR FAMILIES, HAD MY DAD AND KAREN, AND MY GRPA BOB TO NIKI'S FOR FATHER'S DAY DINNER. GOOD FOOD AND FUN WITH GOOD CONVERSATION-WE HAD A GREAT TIME. SATURDAY, WE WENT TO THE FARMER'S MARKET WITH NIKI, TREVY, AND NANA AND JUST HUNG OUT-THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY BUT NO RAIN. WE THEN WALKED AROUND SHOPS IN OLD TOWN POCATELLO AND JUST PLAYED, SO FUN! THEN NANA CAME AND HELPED ME MAKE HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP AND THAT WAS FUN AND TURNED OUT SO YUMMY. WE THEN WENT TO THE RIVERFEST HERE ON THE GREENWAY AND LISTENED TO BANDS AND JUST WALKED AROUND, MOST THE BOOTHS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS WEREN'T UP DUE TO THE WEATHER BUT IT WAS STILL FUN. WE THEN CAME HOME AND JARED AND I WATCHED THE MOVIE, "TAKEN" AFTER HALLE WENT TO BED. WE HAD A FUN DATE NIGHT AND IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE.
TODAY, WE GOT TO CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY. THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO ALL THE FATHER'S OUT THERE, WE LOVE YOU! I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL THE MEN IN MY LIFE AND ALL THE IMPORTANT LESSONS THEY HAVE TAUGHT ME. I WOULD NOT BE THE PERSON I AM WITHOUT THEM AND THEIR INFLUENCE. ESPECIALLY, MY HUSBAND. HE IS A GREAT PERSON, A WONDERFUL FATHER, AND AN OUTSTANDING HUSBAND. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR HIM AND THE LOVE HE HAS FOR HALLE AND I. HE IS A GREAT PROVIDER, CARE TAKER, AND LISTENER, AND I AM SO GREATFUL FOR HIM. I LOVE YOU JARED! WE SPENT THE EVENING WITH HIS PARENTS AND SISTER KIM, AND HUSBAND JOHN AT THE BERNT'S HAVING A BBQ. IT WAS GREAT AND WE HAD A GOOD FATHER'S DAY!
OTHER THAN THAT AND BEING BUSY, NOT A WHOLE LOT HAS BEEN GOING ON. WE DID FIND OUT JARED HAS AN EYE INFECTION WHICH ISN'T FUN AND DUE TO LASIK SURGERY LAST YEAR, HAS LOST SOME SIGHT IN HIS RIGHT EYE AND WILL HAVE TO UNDERGO SURGERY AGAIN SOON. THEY ONLY PAY FOR IT WITHIN 18 MONTHS OF SURGERY-WE ARE GOING ON A YEAR SO IT WILL BE SOON. HOWEVER, WE ARE THANKFUL HE IS OK AND NOTHING MAJOR IS WRONG, AND HE WILL GET BETTER.
WELL, THATS A LONG POST, SO HOPE ALL IS GOING WELL FOR EVERYONE.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY AGAIN TO ALL THOSE MEN OUT THER!
WE LOVE YOU!
