Boise, Idaho

When I married Adam, I instantly became an aunt. I now I have 4 nephews and 2 nieces. LOVE it :D. a few weeks ago, our new niece was going to be blessed, so Adam and I went up to be a part of it. Just as we were going to leave, Adams parents, who were also going up for the blessing, called and said that the roads were awful and that they had to turn around. We had both taken the day off and I knew that if we didn't go somewhere, I would end up cleaning and doing laundry, while Adam watched football. I did NOT want to do that. So we decided to see how far we could make it. If the roads were too bad, we'd pull over and get a hotel, but if we could get through, then awesome. The roads were still bad when we went, but we decided to drive slow. Even though we went slow, we still ended up on the side of the road. Good thing a nice guy pulled over with a truck and tow ropes to get us out.




Once we made it safely through, we got to Brandon and Stacy's house, Adams brother and his wife. We LOVE going there. They have 2 cute kids, Ben and Lilly.

Ben LOVES Lilly. he always wants to touch her and says "hi sis!" "love ya sis!" so cute


When you play with uncle Adam... you get squished...


Lilly is SUCH a sweet baby. i got to hold her for long periods of time. my fav :)






before we left, Adam showed me around his favorite parts of Boise. This is at the BSU stadium. I wanted to go on the blue turf, but the gates were locked. next time :)


Up at Table rock, looking over all of Boise


We decided to take a short cut through a crack in the rocks.



Now that gas is so much less expensive, we plan on going to Idaho more often. They ended up postponing the blessing to 3 weeks later so that Adams parents could come. We were more than ok with that, it meant we got to come up again!! We are hoping to go again in the next few weeks and maybe go to a BSU game. We ♥ Idaho

Sheesh Adam, it looks like you need to learn how to drive in the snow :) Nothing a good Montana boy like myself couldn't teach you! No really sweet blog, good job Erin!

Is that the stretch between Snowville and Burley? It always seems to be a mess! You guys love Idaho, we love Idaho...let's be neighbors (we're already moving there....your turn)

I heard about you guys going off of the road! I am glad you were safe. Lily is adorable! So is little Ben.
Looks like fun after the sliding off of the road.
