Soda Springs


This picture is when I returned back to Texas, Jackson had moved us out of our temporary apartment and into our rental house and so we took one picture of the apartment. It was a pretty sweet deal for me.
Before I flew back to Texas, my Mom, sisters and I went up to visit my family in Soda Springs. Our first stop was Logan to meet everyone for Grandpa's birthday lunch at Sizzler.
When we got to Soda we got our custom snow cones from my cousin MaRhea. Pomegrante snow cones are delicious. We also drove out to check out the farm.
We stopped by the elevator to watch them load hay onto the truck and take turns driving the tractor. We all showed our city roots being enamored with the tractor.
Even Eliza and Bennett took turns driving. Bennett was in heaven, I am pretty sure he wants to be a farmer now so that he can drive tractors all day.
We took a couple turns on the 4-wheelers too. I love Idaho.

Jackson's birthday

We have reliable internet once more! So here are some pictures from Jackson's birthday.
Jackson wanted to continue the tradition of mini golf on his birthday. Sadly Dotties/Arnold Palmer's mini golf no longer exists so we made do with the best Austin had to offer.
And we drug Derek and Kristin along with us.
I took a picture of every step of Jackson opening his birthday package from his parents. Enjoy.
Do you notice a theme? Jackson was ecstatic.
