Rounding up the Boys

So A few weeks back I headed out to Boise to gather up my kids, cause they had been shipped out due to their mother being radioactive and all. I drove to Boise and spent the night there then the next morning we headed to Kaysville to see the Grandparents and some family, as there was an impromptu gathering of Nielsens going on. It was fun, the boys especially liked it cause Uncle Josh had brought his Wii.








We spent one morning taking an excursion up some nearby canyon and found some pretty sights.



And pretty much just hanging out with Uncle Joey and Joshy.





Finally we had to go home so we headed back up to Boise and got in late and crashed at G and G Bishops. The next morning we headed out to the lake for an hour or so to see some other Uncles and Aunts on the Bishop side. Here he is driving the boat with Uncle Brett.




Then it was back to Oregon through some pretty country. It was good to get home and let Bethany see her boys for the first time in a week and a half.




Here is one for fun.



And finally Boys will be boys.

Ecola excursion

Last Friday after work we took off to the coast. We stayed till sunset, and it couldn't have been a nicer day for it. Before we hit the ocean though, we stopped at camp 18 (a restaurant on the road to the coast kindof in the middle of nowhere) and had dinner. It was a great way to end the workweek.

Just Evan, me, Saddle Mt.

So Evan and I are home alone as Bethany and Dallin are in Southern Nevada visiting her Grandparents. We decided to go out and hike a bit as the day was going to be beautiful. We went to hike Saddle Mountain. Evan did awesome and I hated to tell him that we were only half way done with the hike even though we had reached the top. He did great though and getting down was easier than getting up especially because he had a packaged cupcake waiting for him when we reached the car. Oh the things that keep us going. It was a good hike and I am still a bit sore.
