Boise Fun!

We headed to Boise to support our cousin Samyna at her Baptism and Confirmation.  We had a few days to spend time with family and make wonderful memories!
We started the trip at Aunt Mandy's with a birthday party for Grandma Bell. Grandma Bell turned 65 and we had fun celebrating with pizza and cupcakes!! Love you Grandma!

Next we took a trip to Cabelas with Grandma and Grandpa Bell and the Bringhursts! It was so much fun watching the kids faces and reactions to the animals and then Grandpa Bell dressed up and it gave us a good laugh! So Much fun!

Next we headed to Samyna's baptism and it was so neat! Her Uncle Justin baptized her and Grandpa Bell did a wonderful job confirming her! What a memorable day! So grateful we got to be a part of her special day! We love you Samyna. We headed to a yummy meal at Chuckarama after to celebrate! Decker's favorite part was sitting by Caleb and eating a yummy slush! 

 

 

GIRL'S NIGHT AND SISTER SLEEPOVER!!! Woot woot! Us girls headed to Mandy's to have a girl's night! We had fun visiting, watching the younger girls do makeovers and dress up! Callie enjoyed trying on Aunt Mandy's shoes too and felt like one of the big girls! Then after baths us moms headed to the store for junk food! We stayed up late, visited, and colored Mandy's sharing time visual aids! Lots of laughs. So so grateful for two of the most amazing and incredible sisters, examples, and friends. I couldn't ask for better. Love you sisters!

 

 

We were able to attend Mandy's church with her the next morning and what a treat that was! The chorister in primary invited us 3 sisters up to sing and "jazz" up the new primary song "God Gave us Fam-il-lies" they were learning....so funny! Then we headed to Shane and Kris's home for a yummy lunch, playing, and headed to see their new house and park!

 

Over all this trip was soooooooo needed. With the recent stresses of Beau not getting moved to the new branch, Mandy's divorce struggles, and my miscarriage I couldn't ask for better "medicine" than that of spending time with family making memories filled with laughter and love. I truly feel blessed to have the amazing family I do. It always makes coming home so hard. Can't wait to see them again soon!

On our way home we were able to stop in Twin Falls to see Jake Detweiler who Beau trained on the mission. What a treat it was to visit and listen to him and Beau recall missionary experiences. What a blessing the gospel is!
