On the Road Again...

So first, Happy Birthday to Preston... (he is holding Tanner)
You are a pretty awesome uncle!
And Cory's grandpa! (he isn't holding Tanner!) They share a birthday... how fun right?

And we also went to Boise last weekend to be entertained by these people...
And see these people...
Okay, so maybe not in such an ungrateful tone, but we really did have a great time! SO thanks to Sam and Alicia for letting us stay! I am sorry my children were high maintenance-ish! They really aren't always like that! I swear! And thanks to Wendy and Pauline for letting Aubry, Alicia, and I come to your super fun family, home, personal enrichment (whatever it is called now) night!

It is crazy... I haven't seen Aubry in 2 1/2 years and it was like no time had passed! That is the mark of a true friend is it not? And Claire reminded us so much of Jeff that it was as if he was there, with us... just in a very short, feminine version! Ha ha! Just kidding, we love you Jeff and Cory was bummed our trips didn't line up better! But congrats on your difficult decision to build a house! Yay!!!

Well, during our visit, the Balukoffs and the Ricks (that's us... in case you we confused by the third person...) went to Camelback Park. Cory and Sam went biking, while Alicia and I stayed with the kiddies at the playground. The ride nearly killed their bikes (although they were man enough to handle it), Cory's axle bolt thing stripped out for his front tire on the ride the day before, and he popped the back tire (fortunately unnoticed until we made it home) ... and Sam's chain broke (fortunately again, he had a tool in his backpack to fix said problem), this left him with about 4 gears to work with. But they made it back. But just before they did, Tanner decided he needed to climb this...
I was excited to chase him up it! But impressively enough, we both made it in flip flops! One day Alicia and I went out to Sam's parents yard and cut flowers and made a few arrangements... someday I want a yard that I can do that in... I love flowers... anyway...

And this was Tanner's favorite thing...

But anyway, thanks again to everyone who made Boise such a fun trip!
