Saturday the 3rd we woke up with an itch to go somewhere but were undecided on what to do. When Justin suggested the Menan Butte I agreed and we headed to Rexburg. This is definitely something I love about our personalities: we can do things spur of the moment without ruffling each other's feathers. We hit R Mountain first, me carrying Colby and Justin carrying Beckham. It took us 35 minutes to get to the top. Emmett and Logan were little mountain goats beating us the entire way up. We explored around, the kids built cairns, and on the way down we spotted a scorpion! We ordered pizza and ate at Porter Park, Justin and I threw a disc around, and we finished the adventure off with Kiwi Loco on the way out.
The following week on Sunday was Beckham's 2nd birthday! This boy is pure joy. He is into all things with wheels, so we got him an assortment of tractors for his gift. Granny and Gramps joined us for birthday cake that night.
Meanwhile the house continues to make progress. The outside got all its siding finished, some of the floors have been installed, and appliances have been delivered. We're waiting on cabinets which will take the longest (we first met with the carpenter March 20th so there you go). Aside from that, kitchen and bathroom tile needs to go in, final light fixtures installed, carpet, and then it's just a matter of hooking everything up. My guess is we'll be moving in about a month, maybe six weeks.
Justin has taken over as the director for Arco Parks n Rec. June is soccer season but we've had a rough start with lots of afternoon thunderstorms cancelling practices and games. The kids did finally have a game last week. Emmett scored a goal and Logan made three blocks during his Goalie turn. I love to see them get after it!
We had a campfire last night complete with s'mores. Many more to come I'm sure.
