Firth!

This past weekend we ventured up to Logan to stay with some good friends, Tommy and Jen. We, along with Tommy and Jen and their cute baby Mason continued on to Firth Idaho. Where is that, you may ask??? It's between Blackfoot, and Idaho Falls. Our friends, Jacob and Anna Newman, have a beautiful piece of land, cute house, and lots of chicks, oh and a cute Ava and baby Emma. We had 4 couples up there, which meant 5 kids. We met these couples in Logan while we attended Utah State. We have continued visiting each other through the years. Before kids, we would play games and talk and laugh. This visit was a bit different. With all of the kiddos, no games were played. But, there was a lot of talking and laughing! We ate YUMMY Cafe Rio Burritos, homemade style, and took a tour of Jacobs cool Taxidermy shop (Daron loved it so much he wanted to take a fish fin with him....sorry Jacob!).
Austin even got to ride an elk (That's an elk, right Jacob???)

Daron and I stayed in Idaho Falls in a hotel. Austin did soooo well! We slept in a nice king size bed. I'm still trying to convince Daron that a king size bed is an essential part of life, he hasn't agreed yet. We swam in the cold pool, and then went to church, in Firth, to the Newmans ward. Very good, they even talked about potato harvesting. Ava also gave her first primary talk, which of course we all went to hear. She is a natural! After church we walked around by the Idaho Falls temple and took pictures, attempted to feed the ducks, and ate yummy sandwiches and chips and salsa. We had so much fun with these wonderful friends. It was a much needed getaway!! Thanks guys and yes we will definitely be back!

Randomness!!

Okay, since it's been awhile here is the update on our lives...
No More Chili!!
Daron is very innovative. He made us a new pantry with a lot more room for cans. Before I would stack all of my cans and then I wouldn't know where they were. I would keep buying things since I didn't know if I had them or not. Hence the title. We have A LOT of chili now. I can put a new can in the top and they will roll down. Totally amazing!
