Yikes! The big 3-0...

Well, last Sunday I officially turned... gulp... 30! Yikes, that seems so old to me. I still can remember being in high school and it seemed that 30 year-old's were ancient. Now I'm one of them and I don't really feel a day over 18. Okay- maybe my maturity level has risen a bit, then again maybe not- but I really don't feel old at all!

My weekend started out fabulous! One of my best friends in the whole world, SueAnn, took me to the sneak peek at Red Robin for lunch. I had a delicious guacamole burger and onion rings and yummy pomegranite blueberry lemonade. Yummy! This was the first time I've ever been to a restaurant before it is open to the public. Fun!! Thanks again SueAnn!

On Saturday I decided that it's been a while since I've done a project in our home so I decided to paint my master bathroom and put up beadboard/wainscoating. I love how it turned out! Thanks to my hubby for always helping me out when I decide on a whim to tackle a project!

On Saturday night my sis-in-law, Triska, offered to watch our kids overnight so we could go on a date. So we loaded them up with their church clothes in tow and took off for a fun-filled night. We went to Pocatello and ate at Buddy's Italian restaurant. Yummy! Then we went to Lava Hot Springs and sat in the hot pools... Ah it was heavenly!

On Sunday we went to church, picked up our kids, then headed to my mom's for dinner. It was delicious! I was spoiled too! I got a new Ipod touch. It is SO much fun!!! A Shiatsu mat that you put in a chair and it massages your back. I love it! And I got an indoor electric grill from my parents. I can't wait to try it out. Grilling inside in the winter- what could be better than that?

Sorry there are no pictures of my fun times, but I think I was thinking... Do I really want to remember the day I turned 30??? Oh well! There will always be memories!

Ice Fishing

On New Year's day Ed took the boys ice fishing... Brrr! Where was I? In my toasty warm house of course! Our brother-in-law Mitch has all of the equipment and a big tent and 3 boys that are our boys ages so off they headed. They were gone for about five hours. Ed said they caught over 100 fish. Most of the fish they caught were tiny little Perch but the kids loved it so much.
Here is Talen's big Trout... He was so proud!

Tray also caught a pretty big Trout!

Here is all of the kids holding up their catch of the day. Ed said they would take a fish off the hook and immediately another one of the boys would say "Fish on!" Ed tried talking me into going with them, but I think that this favorite past time of theirs should be a father/son outing ONLY! Boy time is good... really good... especially if the word "ice" is anywhere in the title.
