We made another trip to Idaho and had a great time visiting family and friends. We were happy to help celebrate the weddings of Jen King to Mark Rice and Kate Van Ravenhorst to Tom Henwood. Congratulations to both couples!! Jalen and Mommy took advantage of our week in Idaho to visit friends we hadn't seen for some time. One of my close college friends, Marni and her little Ella Jane drove down from Coeur d'Alene to meet us in McCall for a few days. We enjoyed hanging out on the beach, morning walks, trips to town, and just catching up! Back in Boise, Jalen and I had a great time meeting up with Stephanie and Elliot at Monkey Bizness, which is an indoor play gym. We were quite amused with the gigantic slide, which sends you flying down and barelling into the padded barrier. Needless to say you have to put all pride aside, as there is nothing graceful about it. Elliot kept saying "more," "more slide." We also got the chance to spend some extra time with Kaye and her boy, Will. He's such a happy boy!!! At a pre-wedding brunch it was fun to see other college friends and their little ones...it's amazing how quickly they all change!
What a great night! Despite a vicious storm taking out the electricity at Kate's reception...the party went on!! (Katie, Kaye, Kate, Adrienne, and Janai).
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Henwood! (Kappas doing our traditional "Oh Pat" song in the dark...that's a first).
Brunch with the Kappas (Me with Jalen, Adrienne, Kaye, Cami, Kate (the bride), Heather with her girls Grace and Lauren, Alissa, and Janai with her boy Cain).
Jalen helping Papa get packed for his week-long bike trip through northern Idaho.
Jalen LOVES playing with his big cousin Ayden, who always makes him smile. He kept insisting Ayden hold his "fuzzy" which is Jalen's most prized possession he never lets others have.

"This way Bumpa!"
Taking a minute to get use to the water.
Jalen and Elliot at Monkey Bizness. They took turns letting each other in and playing peek-a-boo through the window - too cute!
"Let's see how loud I can scream!"

"I'm just going to sit right here and play with your toe." Funny how babies interact - I love it!
