Idaho/Utah

Well we returned home from our trip last week and are glad to be home. Jared spent a month in Loma Linda, California to do an away rotation in Radiation Oncology. He loved his time there but of course missed us like crazy!!! After me, Taegen, and Jade were done in Colorado we spent the rest of our time in Idaho and Utah. It is always nice to come back and see friends and family, we have so much fun and did a lot of fun things while we were there.

Its always nice to have a little extra help with the kids, especially now that I have two! My mom is great to help bath Jade, and my dad was even helping bath Taegen for a few nights. We were able to meet my grandparents and go to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was nice to see them and visit and also nice for them to meet Jade. Here Taegen is riding the horse, he really should be farm boy. We took him the demolition derby while we were in Preston and he LOVED it!! He could not take his eyes off the cars crashing and the big tractors.

Of course Taegen loves the four-wheeler. My dad was sweet enough to take him on many rides.

While we were in Salt Lake, my father-in-law took Taegen to a couple of baseball games. My son loves baseball and had a blast. The second night they went they were lucky enough to see fireworks, and what you ask would make Taegen do this...

the BIG SCARY BEE!!!!! Whatch out, he'll getcha!

We were also able to go and see one of Jared's good friends. This is actually the guy that Taegen is named after. He has been a great mentor and friend of Jared's and invited us up to his house. Taegen was able to run and play in the water, fish, and just be a boy. Oh, and did I mention he did it all naked. Thats right, they let their yard flood with water just for Taegen and he took full advantage.

And of course the family picture that Scott has wanted forever! Jared, Jade, me Lori, Taegen, Brett Melissa, Joey, Trevor, and Scott.

Jade is the first girl in the Johnstun family and I think they like it. Jade and Lori enjoying the outdoors.

Thanks a ton to both Jared and my family's for all they do for us and letting us come and crash at their places for a while. We love you
