Family Fun

Erich's brother Ben is in the air force and lives in Mississippi, but he and his wife came to Idaho to bless their little son, Rhone, who was born 5 weeks ago. So this weekend Erich, Jake and I headed to Malad Idaho for a whirlwind family get together. It was Erich's idea of an ideal vacation. The first day we got there we went shooting, then sledding, then coyote shooting (where his shooting wasn't quite as impressive!). On Sunday Erich's sister came up with her adorable four kids. It was great introducing Jake to his new cousins. I am sure they will be great buds here soon. Anyhow it was a lot of driving but a whole lot of fun, if only we lived closer to our families so we could do this more often!

Ooo...Malad was one of Nolans rivals growing up, but it still looks like fun can be had there! I was shocked at how similar Erich and his brother look.

I know I say this all the time but little Jake is just so adorable!!! Looks like a fun time with the Gleckler family. You can sure tell that those two are brothers.

How fun! I bet you had a great time. Too bad we weren't still in Soda it would have been great to see you guys and meet little Jake. You and Meagan have the cutest little boys!

Too fun. I t bet it was nice to Ben and Megan again, and to meet little Rhone. It is be so nice to have the cousins so close in age.

OH Man!! It is so good to hear from you. Your house, your little Jake, and your dog are so incredibly cute! At this point, I'd trade Grangeville for Billings anyday. TJ is loving it at Crowley though. He says to tell you to come work with him... then you could transfer to the Helena office someday. Yup... parenting is crazy, nothing to compare it to. It's so fun to see you guys are right there with us.

Thanks so much for making the long trip down, it was so much fun to see you guys and to meet Jacob! Hopefully it won't be so long before we meet up again. I think Jacob is definitely stealing the spotlight in the pic of him and Rhone it looks like he's got Rhone all boxed out- too funny. Take care up there in the north!
