Guys Weekend

The guys in Jake's family decided that since the girls got together before Katie left on her mission that they needed a guys weekend before Zach leaves on his mission. They went down to St. George Utah for 5 days. Jake's dad got a condo down there, they went hiking, golfing, and did a session at the temple. Jake had a great weekend!Ryan, Zach, Austin, and Brett

Spring Fling

This last weekend we invited Chris, Emily, and their kids to Boise for the Spring Fling at BSU. They came up on Friday night and stayed until Saturday night. We had such a great time. We love having friends and family stay with us!

The weather was perfect all weekend. The kids loved eating out on the deck and going for walks.

We all enjoyed playing Wii Fit. The adults had fun and the kids loved it.

All the kids love Uncle Jake. He let them play with his "fart machine." They thought this was pretty awesome, but it started getting old after a while. We turned if off and told the kids it ran out of batteries. They were disappointed so Uncle Jake taught them how to make fart noises with their hands and armpits.Making fart noises

We had a BBQ at our place on Saturday before we headed over to BSU. We had Ryan and Teri over.( I am not sure why I don't have any picturs of them.)

They had a lot of fun family games at the Spring Fling...

Jake and Gordon "fighting"

I am not sure what this game is called but Jake and Emily have a bungee cord around their waiste. You run forward and then it pulls you back. So much fun!

The kids were excited about their balloon creations. Gordon and Ashylnn got a sword.

Smarty Pants?

Jake is an excellent student and has always gotten good grades. I give him a hard time because I feel like I spend 3 times longer a day studying, and he still gets better grades. This semester he has a Information Technology Management class. English is not his teacher's first language and Jake had a hard time understanding him. So he decided that he would do the work on his own and go in for the tests. He did excellent on the first exam. The teacher gives them 3 tests but averages the best 2. After Jake took the first test he felt he could keep studying at home and show up occassionally to check in. He missed a couple weeks of class due to sickness, among other things. He told me he had a test coming up so he needed to go to class to see when it was. He was sitting in his desk when the teacher walked in with a large stack of papers. Jake nervously looked around the room and realized that it was test day!

As you can see Jake managed to get a 16% on the exam.

Park City

Last weekend Jake and I were invited by Chad and Katie to Park City. We had a great time. The girls shopped and did crafts and the guys played video games. We had a blast!

The guys were laughing and not letting me get a good picture. This is at the condo.This one is a little better but not much.

We spent Friday night at the condo and then spend Saturday shopping and doing crafts and the guys played video games. Saturday night we stayed at Chad and Katie's house. It was fun to play with our niece and nephews. They are so cute and adore Jake. I think this picture is so cute. Here are some of the crafts that we did. I did the "family" and Katie did "Welcome" I think they turned out great!

I love these stars. They have wire to hang them from a door during 4th of July.

We really enjoyed out time in Utah!
