A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. — AGATHA CHRISTIE As Mother's day comes and goes, I can't help but reflect on how blessed I have been to be given the children I have. They are both such different individuals and have unique qualities that make them special in each of their own ways. In addition to the two that I gave birth to, we are gaining an additional son that is as special and unique as our own. We couldn't be more pleased with Tori choice of a soul mate. We love all three of them to the moon and back. After a nice brunch, we headed off to hunt for waterfalls. In my lifetime of leaving in Boise and the multiple trips to Utah since childhood, I have driven by this without ever stopping. Malad Gorge was alway just a bridge that the freeway went over. At 65mpd I always wondered what was down there, how did ...
...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day. One that I have been dreading for weeks. Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.

We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let'...
In March we got a new addition to our family. This little baby is what makes memories and we are so looking forward to using it to make them. Tori and Chad went in with us to make this purchase. After visiting every RV dealership in Boise, we settled on this Jayco Jay Feather from Bish RV. We started looking last Sept and it took us so long to decide that the 2016 models were all sold out.

Last weekend we camped in our driveway to test out all the features to make sure we knew how to do things and that everything worked before we took it out to the wilds. Tori and Chad took it out this weekend to Mann's Creek. From what I heard things went well, the only comment was that the main big bed was uncomfortable - "like a rock". I'm sure that it was still better t...
