8 days

Jesse and Hailey headed up to Boise for 8 days while I stayed back with Shane.  Shane said there is no way he can miss that much school, Hailey, no problem!

At the Airport

Cousins

Shane got sick the day after they left, luckily it wasn't the flu.  One of the things that Shane does all the time is play with his hair.  He wore this outfit and sat here for 3 days

The Boise crew headed up to Cascade Lake to take a sleigh ride to see Elk

Taking a dip in Gold Fork Hot Springs

Shane starting to feel better

I told Shane while they are gone I'm not cooking dinner.  One of our nights out!

 Reality check, homework

Skiing at Bogus Basin, it snowed the night before and that day!

 Hailey said she never got tired or sore after 5 hours on the slopes.  I remember being so sore, I guess she's built for the snow

 Jimma came over to our house and gave me private baking lessons, her infamous Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I have mastered her art, it's dangerous

Shane after a few cookies!

Moo Moos for dinner

Some sledding action

 I showed Shane this picture of Jesse, he said that looks like torture, Shane hates the cold!  

Hailey had so much fun in Boise, it was non stop fun.

 Heading back home

Vegas Cup

We skipped school and headed to Vegas for soccer over MLK weekend.  We told each family to send a pic of them leaving, here is our picture

 Seven Magic Mountain stop

 We went to The Nathan Burton Comedy and Magic show with some of Hailey's teammates

 Dessert, liquid nitrogen Captain Crunch.  It was a trip

1st game win

 Logan and Hailey

 Breakfast, all girls at the counter

 We went bowling at the hotel and the dads needed some more beer.  We made Shane and Quinn go up to the room, grab some beer and bring it back down.  Here they are with their pockets full of beer just after walking by the security guard.  Proud Mommy Moment

Ronda rocked the bowling alley

Girls played hard against a top team in their 3rd game but lost.  You know what that means?  We can stay out late tonight

 We all headed straight to the Rio Buffet and ate there for 3 hours.  We got our money's worth

 New favorite drink- La Croix with Vodka and a licorice vine

9 families walked the Vegas Strip until 11pm.  The girls had so much fun.  Luckily Shane and Quinn are the same age and get along really well

Usually soccer tournaments have a lot of hustling from one game to the next with eating in between.  This tournament was the best.  As a team we all got to sleep in, go to the movies, bowl between games, out to eat together and everything was convenient.  It was such a fun weekend I don't remember much of the soccer

Miraleste Basketball

Shane made his Jr High School basketball team and loves it.  His coach is his favorite teacher at Miraleste hands down and he makes them dress up on game day.  I had to buy Shane pants with buttons and a shirt, which he never wears.  I know a ton of kids asked Shane why he was dressed up at school, it's the only sport that does it.

 His basketball team is with all his really good friends that he hangs out with and they have great chemistry.  He thrives playing with them as they are all unselfish players.  Better yet, coach really likes the way Shane plays

I know your are wondering, He made it!
