Lucky Peak Lake

We had one really hot day in Boise which made for a beautiful day on the lake.  Here’s our float

The passengers on the boat

  

My kids love to jump.  Shane catching air from the wake of other boats and Hailey who just went for it!

 

Our captains on the boat, Eli has it down

A great day on the lake

Out in Boise

We had a really nice week in Boise which was relaxing/busy yet very enjoyable.  We went biking, boating, fishing, zoo, aquarium, nature center and to some great little restaurant.

Hailey and Lyla were the best of buds and played, played and played

The in genius Labyrinth that kept the kids running

Here Hailey and Lyla are picking their own snack at the Botanical Gardens.

Eli, who’s favorite thing to say is, “Where’s Shane?”

 

Kiddos

Thanks to Katie who took a little photo shoot of our family- nice work!

 

Thanks to Cathy and Duane who did a lot of work hosting us.  We had a great time- Many Thanks!

Boise River Ride

We took a bike ride with the Jennings (nana & papa drove the cars). We met Jamie, Yogi, & Zion at the park for some swing time. The kids (Shane, Eli, and Hailey) made the entire 11.5 mile ride without complaint.

Farrell's

After Shane's soccer tournament we stopped by Farrell's for lunch. It's been a long time!

Hailey's Ship

Much to the chagrin of her parents, Hailey came out of her room this morning and announced, "I finished my ship!". She spent countless hours of alone time in her room working on her ship. We hoped it would never end, but all good things seem to do just that.

Van Halen

Our friend, Chris, is a huge rocker, though you wouldn't know it by the looks of him.  He had this idea, “Why don’t we take the boys to their first concert.  It would be soooo cool if it was Van Halen!”  I thought he was joking at first, but he was totally serious.  His 91-year-old boss has a box at Staples, which comes with tickets to every show, so he hit him up and got tickets for 8 of us to go. 

 

Here are the boys giving Chick a hard time before the concert

 

Shane was pretty into the concert, but this was definitely the BIG hit.

 

Kool and the Gang opened, yeah that’s what I said, Kool and the Gang opened.  We thought it was going to be a flop, who has an R&B band open for a rock group?  But they totally got the crowed going. 

This is a stock photo, but had to capture the memory of David Lee Roth’s pants and scarf.  He still had his high kicks and jumps, though it took 5 songs of warming up before he attempted one. 

Last Day of School

Shane’s last day as a 2nd Grader with Mrs Lomino.  I asked him if he was going to be sad that school was over and his response was, “Yes and  No”  Shane never once complained about going.

Shane’s report card was great of course and his teachers words were perfect, “Shane is well-rounded, Highly capable student.  He is kind and considerate of others and it has been a pleasure to have him in class.  His performance in our class musical was excellent…” blah blah blah….. 

 

The after Party with a bunch of friends and one sweet pool with a waterslide

Hailey was extra excited about her last day of school because all she wants is to go to Shane’s school.  She keeps talking about how kindergarten is so much more fun.  Kindergarten here she comes!

 

Hailey’s class performance and graduation party

Ready for Summer

Angels Game

We were hanging with the Belofskys Saturday night discussing how neither one of us had plans for the following day. Within 5 minutes the boys decided and bought Angel tickets. It was one of those perfect days.

I'm Ready

Shane has been wanting to go to school extra early. He gets up, eats, does his homework and is ready at 7:05am! School doesn't start till 8:30. He now gets dropped off before school is officially open.
