UEA


For our little October vacation we went on a trip to Boise to visit Grandpa Blodgett, Aunt RaeAnn and fam, and Aunt Ashley and fam.  On the way up we stopped at Ashley's and enjoyed life on the farm.  The kids love playing at their house because of all their fun toys and all of the neighborhood cats that hang out in the yard!  It was cat heaven.  The kids spent most of their time outside and thankfully Dan took a few pictures.


At Grandpa's we went to the Boise Temple open house which was really wonderful.  Unfortunately it was cold and cloudy and when we finally got back in the van we didn't feel like getting back out and taking pictures.  It was a great experience and the Boise Temple is so beautiful.  Jared loved how the Celestial Room echoed so as soon as we got in their he yelled, "HELLOOOO, ANYBODY HOME?"  It was so funny.  On Saturday Dan and Grandpa took the kids bowling.  Jared and I stayed home because I figured it was better to chase him around at Grandpa's house then around the bowling alley.  The kids had a blast bowling.  After that we sang Happy Birthday to Thomas.  I felt lucky to celebrate a little with Thomas.  He's so fun.

Deja Vu

The last time I posted was to say that Adrian got a hole in one!  Well the next news worthy event in the Blodgett household is along the same lines.  It was a cold rainy day on Friday but since we didn't have any plans Dan invited our brothers-in-law, Monty and Scott, out for a round of golf at Oquirrh Hills.  I was a little jealous but had fun hanging out with my sisters:)

The story goes that Dan was on the 13th hole and he used his 8 iron to hit it 159 yards over the water, and it bounced and rolled right into the hole!!  I am so sad I  missed it but so impressed, and anyways, I knew it was going to happen for him soon.  He's been having quite the season:)  Perhaps his new irons and driver are paying off.  Unfortunately there wasn't a camera to document the event but I'm sure Dan will hold it forever in his heart.
