It's done!

After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, the swingset is up! We are so happy to have that project over with. This picture doesn't really do it justice, it is so shiny! Thankfully, we had a beautiful weekend, weather-wise, and we were able to finish the paint and get everything assembled. The kids love it, Kennedy especially is in heaven, finally able to get under-dogs from daddy again! Our good friends the Pococks stopped by as we were finishing up, and Chad saved me from having to get too sore of a back...Next up, sand box!

Kennedy is obviously feeling much better, I'd say pretty much recovered from her sore throat. She had some company four-wheeling on Saturday afternoon, the little boys next door broke out their little ATV's and it was a regular moto-cross rally behind the houses. They are so cute! Kennedy has been playing with them outside a bit since it has warmed up, and she is happy to have neighbor kids to play with again. There are four boys in the family next door, and there are three that she has buddied up to. Hudson loves them, too, and though their names are Thomas, Jacob and Andrew, he calls them all Taft! He thinks any little boy bigger than him is Taft...We better get the real one up here soon so he doesn't get too confused!

These two were the only ones I could get to slow down for a picture!

Kennedy and Thomas






Ever since that sad day when Main Street Grill in Preston closed its doors, Dustin and I have been on a quest to find calamari that was as awesome. Unfortunately, most places, it is disgusting. Dustin and I had a little date night on Saturday, and I am very happy to report that the quest is over. We tried the new Italian place here in town, Amici's, and we hit pay dirt! Woo Hoo! Yummiest food in Rexburg, possibly south-east Idaho. (mom: good calamari, huckleberry italian soda, seafood fettucini, tiramisu....get up here now.)
