Birthday cake and Egg hunts

This past weekend in Eastern Idaho was very eventful.....we celebrated Kelan's first birthday with a beautiful basketball cake created by Nikki and Ansley! He was a little confused about what to do with it.....
Then we all went out to eat some yummy Mexican food in downtown B-tizzle and then get our bowling on, Nikki actually beat me....for the first and last time! and ofcourse Stephen and Spencer were utterly annoyed by all the picture taking, sorry guys! (but just get used to it)

Kelan was not a big fan of the sombrero and strangers singing to him.


Pictures can be fun.....but try telling them that!

So the easter egg hunt got a little out of control this year, as usual, but nothing was broken (just knocked off the walls...sorry Robyn!) The big winner was Stephen with 69 eggs! Ansley forgot to listen to the rules so she got disqualified with her 80 eggs, better luck next year! But it's all in good fun, it just goes to show that you're never too old for a good old fashioned egg hunt!

hanging out in the Berg

This is the beautiful Rexburg temple.........of course the wind is always out of control!

So we're over in Rexburg right now hanging out with the Anderson clan. Stephen's older brother spoke today at the business summit up on campus and he did an amazing job, that guy is really going places. We got to hang out with Kelan ALL day and I'm loving it! ...... I'm really excited for Easter and the Big Hunt! I have to teach Nikki how to create a blog so I'll update you on our fun weekend in a few days!

"Who did we marry?"

So we went over to Brett and Melissa's last night for dinner and some serious hang out time. The night started out like any other night.... Melissa showed me how to make easy and delicious home-made pizzas, we watched basketball, then the boys played some Halo, then we broke out the Mexi-train........and that's when things started to get out of hand.....

I'm not sure who's crazy idea it was but the boys were itching to wear Melissa's J-lo suits, and who are we to stop them!! We were rolling on the floor laughing at those two crazy boys....I think they enjoyed it a little too much.

I MISS KELAN!

I miss Kelan, and Nikki!!......ok and Spencer a little bit too! Look at this cute little guy, he's my absolute favorite!

Home on the range

Out for Sushi with the Pierce's for Brett's b-day!

This weekend we had fun with Brett and Melissa celebrating his b-day at the golf range and then going out for Sushi...yum yum...we couldn't figure out who our server was because they all looked the same! We played some Mexi train and Skip-Bo, and ate some delicious cake, thanks Melissa, and the boys got all hopped up on Mt.Dew. We swapped stories and laughed at our perverted husbands.....they feel like family, we love those two! Always a good time to be had by all.

Stephen all hopped up on Mt.Dew!

Good Times

We've been having tons of fun here in Boise! We recently had more visitors...Carlos and Nat stayed with us about a week ago and we had a blast as usual with those two....we ate some fabulous chinese buffet...puke...and we played guitar hero until the wee hours of the night- melting faces!

This past week we went to the last home game of Broncos basketball, it was a packed house and everyone was wearing orange...except me! They lost to Utah, but it was an intense game- fans on their feet the entire time....except me. It was fun but I'm kind of glad that basketball season is over for now.

We love visitors!

Spencer, Nikki, and Kelan came to see us this past weekend and we loved hanging out, it was just like old times. We went shopping and Nikki finally got her first J-Lo suit....Melissa and I were so proud. Then we went out to Red Robin for some good eats. Sunday night we walked around downtown Boise and discovered all the great places that we can't afford to eat at. And who knew that there was a china-town in Boise. The weekend went by too fast and we were sad to see them go.

Valentine's Day

We spent Valentine's Day watching a Bronco's game with Brett and Melissa and baby Myah! A good time was had by all.

Mom's visit to Boise!

My mom recently came to stay with us here in Boise and we loved loved loved having her visit! She is the best shopping buddy ever, we found some fantastic deals......thanks for the new boots!! And we scoped out some of the hot spots in downtown Boise...Black and White Market and the German Chocolate store to name a few! We also dabbled in the arts of Boise at the theatre...the food was good at least. Needless to say we were sad to see her go and we hope she enjoyed her visit.

Afton and Stephen

Hey everyone, welcome to our blog. A friend of ours convinced us to set this up so that our family and friends could see what we're up to. So we'll see how this goes!
Well we're in Boise right now just loving life. Stephen is working on his graduate degree in Accounting at BSU and we're living close to campus. We love our apartment, it's close to all the fun stuff downtown and Stephen can actually be on time to class, imagine that! I've just started working for a mental health clinic here in town as a PSRW (Pscyho Social Rehab Worker). I've just finished my training so I'll let you know how it goes in the next few weeks when I start working with my own clients. We really like it here in Boise...the "big city"....and I can already tell it's going to be really hard to leave this place next January.
We're still working on increasing our family, don't worry you'll know when there's any news! So check back often for updates! (Stephen squints in every photo...just get used to it, I have)
