How its been :)

So I figured I would update my friends and family that read my blog on how things are going for us here in the lovely state of Idaho! Well Since Halloween not alot has gone on, lol we have pretty boring lives I guess you could say haha!

I made my very first Thanksgiving dinner, and as soon as I put the turkey in the oven, my mom and sister wanted to skype and that was hard, I held crying in, it was just soo wierd, more wierd than any other day we have been here, to be away from home on Thanksgiving! we talked to them for a while and then when we were done skyping with them scottie's whole family decided to get on skype, Scott, Tracy, Richie, Liz, Grandma, Kacie, and little Blayre ( I miss my Blayre) and they said "Happy Thanksgiving, we miss you guys today" and I just couldn't hold it in anymore, I just got up and walked away. Its great finally being on our own and doing our own thing, making up our own tradition..but it was soo wierd this year to not be home for thanksgiving! I think its going to be even more wierd this christmas! I LOVE skype, so even though we aren't physically there, we can still see everyone and Addie can open her presents on skype in front of who ever got them for her :) We will prolly be on skype alot xmas day!

So it has been snowing quite a bit lately! It snowed last week and we got like 3 inches and then it snowed again the night before last and pretty much all day yesterday and we got another 7 inches of snow! 10 inches of snow, its freakin crazy! But I absolutely love it, Addie is kinda being a party pooper when it comes to playing in it though! I am going to make her today though, I have to shovel the sidewalk in front of our house and I am going to shovel it into our yard :) and its just a little yard!

I forgot to tell you all about the Bruneau Sand Dunes, they were soo much fun! and the canyons down that way are really pretty also! We decided to conquer the tallest one there lol...whcih wasn't very smart with Addie and both dogs! But it was alot of fun and hilarious to go back down! Addie got really scared at the top, the dogs were going crazy and she thought they were going to knock her down, if she only knew it would hurt and we could catch her sooo fast lol, its sand! It was so much fun though! Scottie decided to run down it once we were ready to go back down and it was freakin hilarious.

This picture is the path to the dunes. The whole path is pretty much enclosed like that, I loved it!

This next picture is from the top of the dune

We just had a really fun, much needed family day that day!!

Anyway, I have more pics from that day, but this blog is becoming quite long :) We have had a really good time here so far!! It has been great and we can't wait to explore more! We love the outdoors and it definately helps that Addie also loves to be outdoors:) not to mention a couple good friends we have met here! I will be posting again real soon!
