Been Awhile

Hey Ma and Pa,
Good to hear you guys finally got some new scenery down there.  Tough to say goodbye to good friends, but also nice to have a fresh start.
Well I realized it's been awhile since I put some pics on here and the kids are growing up quick.  Plus, with Marschell moving soon, I won't be able to rely on her posting pictures on our behalf.  So I better get some practice.  I finally imported all the pics from the camera and my phone and thought of doing a mass post like Cori did...although ours is about a year in review.  So I will soon flood this blog with a couple hundred pics...hold your breath for that.  For now, here are some from our recent activities.  I took 17 days off for a reunion in Boise, hit a couple lakes on the way back, and enjoyed the last week just relaxing and doing stuff with the kids.

Porter soon realized the bungee cord and bare feet was a bad idea

Porter, Mia and I braved a night camping in the spooky woods, but thunder and rain drove us back inside at 2am
