Dedication of a new buidling at BYU-I

Brigham Young University Idaho continues to grow every year and they just recently finished a new auditorium that holds 15,000 people! They dedicated that building along with expanded student center on Friday and there were 3 Apostles that attended the dedication so Kyle and I got tickets to attend. It was a really nice dedication service and was truly a blessing to be in the presence of 3 servants of the Lord and to feel their spirit and testimonies of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They have big hopes for this school as it continues to grow. Kyle and I sure have been blessed to be able to attend this wonderful university.

The new building looks a lot like the LDS Conference Center that is in Salt Lake City, Utah except it isn't at big and doesn't have the beautiful organ.

Our Last Visit for a While

Our last Sunday we were in Idaho Falls Kevin & Becky of course had to have us over for Sunday dinner. We enjoyed our meal with them and had some fun. The boys got out the nerf guns had had a nerf gun war with each other.

Owen armed and ready!

We have sure been so so blessed being able to visit Kevin & Becky so often and being able to be a part of their kids lives. We are really going to miss seeing them so often and being so involved in their lives. Luckily we only live a little over 2 hours away and will still get over there to visit them! Thanks again though for all you guys did for us!

Rosanne & Rafa's Visit

A couple weeks ago Rosanne & Rafa came up on the weekend to visit. They wanted to get up there before Kyle & I moved. We played some Rock Band, we played a board game called - Ticket To Ride, watched some movies and visited. It was sure fun to see them and hang out with them for a couple days!

Company at Our Place

We have been so blessed to have lived so close to Kevin & Becky this last year and they have invited us over to their place countless times for dinner, desert and to just hang out! So before we moved we thought it would be fun to invite them over to our place at least once! So a few weeks ago we had them over, made them dinner and hung out with them.

Below is Wes getting a workout!
Kevin and Kyle of course had to play some video games!

It was pretty fun hosting them for a change!

Thanksgiving!

To start off Thanksgiving- Kevin, Becky, Samuel, my dad and I decided to run in a race for the hungry. Samuel did a 10k and the rest of us did a 5k. It was very very cold but it sure was fun and felt good to contribute to a good cause.

My dad and I stuck by each other for most of the of race and finished together. I was very proud of my dad for participating in the race and for running a lot of the way!
Becky and me enjoying some hot chocolate after the race...man did it taste good!

After the race it was home to get ready for our feast. Kevin & Becky did a great j0b hosting thanksgiving! Becky made all of us place settings with little turkeys.

I helped Becky out with the center pieces that I made at work.

We did a puzzle over the weekend...Laura is our puzzle wizard and helped us to finish the 1000 piece puzzle in 3 days!

On Friday Kyle & I made pizza for everyone and my nephews wanted a small piece of dough so they could flatten it and make their own pizza.

Some other things we did over the weekend was we went and saw the new Harry Potter movie, watched some football, played guitar hero, ping pong, foosball, and just relaxed. It was really nice to be able to spend time with those that were able to come up. Thanks again Kevin and Becky for hosting such a great Thanksgiving!

Winter Wonderland at the Cabin

A few weeks ago Kyle and I took another couple with us to the cabin. It had just recently snowed so it was SO beautiful!! It snowed another 6-8 inches while we were up there and it was so fun hanging out in the cabin with the fire going and drinking hot chocolate while it snowed.
