Bonneville County, Bodies, Buddies, Burley, Brown driving dogs, Burgers, Blocks, and Blessings! -- SPRING BREAK 2011!

Bonneville County – Visiting Grandma & Papa Stimpson!

1FunWithGrandpa

We started off the Spring break by making a trip to my folks in Idaho Falls. It was so fun to be with them as you can see here Trace & Kendra with Grandpa!

Wendy Sue & Kendra Sue!

3ConnorsRoomTurtle

Connor showing off his new room!  We found this old turtle there! What a funny thing. It was my grandmas and still has smells exactly the same as it did. Winking smile

5LedgeTrace

While at Wendy’s house, Trace was quiet. Too quiet!  Then Andre spotted him up on this little path at the very end above the stairwell. Just sitting there. Lucky for us, Andre was quick to grab him before he fell….. Hew!!!

7Kitty

Wendy' also has a fun little cat. Trace was scared at first but quickly fell in love and chased the poor thing all over their house. You can tell the cat is really thrilled to be there. lol!

Buddies – Fun times with friends!8KimJacobBryanLexieTraceAndBaby

Kim & Brian Martin & Jacob & Marissa Roberts and us hanging out at Jacob’s house for a few hours.  We had a great time!9KidsInfrontofFireplaceJacobs

It was fun to have all our kids play together. We were lucky to get this shot of them.  Trace looks like a deer caught in the headlights~

Bodies – Exhibition!

11BodiesExhibition

We saw a billboard that the Bodies Exhibition was at the IF museum and we decided to check it out during one of the kids naps.  It was very interesting!

Burley – Rupert area – Home sweet home (when I was 0-4!

12RupertHouse1

Then we headed towards Boise, passing through Rupert & Burley.  We stopped by to check out the house where I lived until I was about 5. My dad built the whole second level of this house. Right next to the river. It looks nothing like it did when we lived there but it was fun to see it after all these years.

13RupertHouse2

I remember running along the grass here. I was so fast!! or so I thought at being 4 years old. Winking smile

Brown driving dog at the wheel of an old GMC!

14drivingdog

Meanwhile Lisa spotted this brown dog driving a truck and couldn’t help but take a picture.

Box of Rootbeer + Milk = Delicioso!

14TraceRootBeerMilk

And here we have Trace drinking his favorite, Root Beer Milk!

Not the Bahamas, but Twin Falls is pretty close!

15SwimmingWithTrace

We stopped at Twin on the way home for the night and went for a swim.

16TouchingFingers

The kids holding hands in the back seat.

Big Judd's! – These burgers are really as good as people say!

bigjuds

I had always heard that Big Judd's had some fantastic burgers but this is ridiculous!  and yes, it was fantastic!   Because of this, we ended up going for a LONG walk which you see below in hopes to work off a bit of this. Winking smile

Boise – Downtown seeing the sites!

17KidsdowntownYesterday, we went to downtown Boise. The weather was perfect!

18KendraalmostWalking

Kendra is not yet walking although if you hold her fingers, she will try. Probably in the next few weeks!

Block Architect of the future!

19BlocksTraceBuilding

Trace & I have been busy building with blocks.20TracesTower

This is now on display for any of you that come over you can check it out. Although it may be torn apart before the night is through so don’t get your hopes up. Winking smile

Bundle  caught in a stare – Wonder Pets are mesmerizing!

21TraceinfrontofTV

Trace standing less than a foot away from the TV at Grandpa’s. He looks kind of funny here!

Blessings! - A Temple in Meridian!

22Temple

President Monson announced that they are going to build a temple here in Meridian! Yeah! This pic is of the Rexburg temple by the way. We aren’t sure what it will look like but are so excited for it!

So as you can see this week was brought to you by the letter -B!

Babbin's First Birthday!

Step One: Put cake in hair!~ Then offer it to others.



Don't know why I look like I am delivering tragic news?




She definitely knows how to make a mess! Trace cried until I gave him a fork on his first birthday. Two very different kids!


It was fun. We had cousins Kade, Kiera, Landon and baby Alexa over to help us celebrate!
Can't believe our baby girl is one already.

What was lost is finally FOUND!!!

BigboyTrace

This little hoodlum was the culprit. We thought that was the case but weren’t sure. Both the TV remote and the DVD remote had been missing for days.

 Kendracarpet

We looked EVERYWHERE we thought Trace could have put them and everywhere where Kendra could have put them… No luck!KendraSepia

Plus Kendra is too sweet to take and hide things. ..TraceSleep1

Trace on the other hand….   I wouldn’t put it past him. TraceSleep2

Here he is having a good little nap. What else do you do when you have no Netflix? ;-)

KodyTraceKendra2 Lisa took this picture tonight and we didn’t know our beloved remotes were SOOOO close the whole time.  Trace is holding the stereo remote so consequently we listened to LOTS of MUSIC!

TraceWithRemots

Then today, I saw Trace with his sippy. RemotesFound

He stuck it right in the cup holder……… WAIT A MINUTE!!! 

cupholderholeTrace is always pulling these off!   As soon as it crossed my mind I told Lisa that I’ll bet they were there…. and sure enough they were!

Now enough blogging, its time for some TV!

Best thing about Fall… Linder Farms!

Every year we go to Linder farms with my sister, Sarah & her family and every year it gets better and better!

1TraceLandonTiresit

2 Year old GIANT buddies! Landon & Trace playing in a giant tire!

2KendrainStroller

Kendra was just thrilled to be outside. She didn’t seem to mind the dirt and was happy as can be in her stroller.

3TraceKieraLandonKadeinBarrelTrain

Kiera was a great help and held Trace so he wouldn’t fall out. Kade held onto Landon.  Neither Trace nor Landon really wanted to be in this but by the time it was done they both hated to get out! ;-)

4Barrellwagon2 5TraceKierainBarrel 6agroupattire

Fun times with a pile of tires!

6KierainCorn

Kiera the Korn Kernal Kween!  She enjoyed being buried.

7TraceCorn

Trace on the other hand, DID NOT. Nor did he want anything to do with the corn kernals. lol.

8ATracerunninginMaze

He did, however, LOVE running around in the hay bail maze.  He and Landon were so fun to watch because all you could see were two tiny heads running along the maze. ;-)

8KadeLisaTraceonTractorPull

Riding the pumpkin trailer which is pulled by a tractor out to the pumpkin patch.

9KodyKadeKendra

This year we actually have several pumpkins growing in our own patch!  We planted several things and they all flopped, only the pumpkins grew!

Feeding baby goats.
