A Quick Trip!!

What a quick trip we had to Boise, but we packed a lot of fun into it! Firstly, we went to Boise specifically for Gordon's police testing.

He did a written and a physical test whose results are being sent to 4 different police departments in Washington and Idaho (mostly Washington). He was worried that he wouldn't pass the written test, but he most certainly did AND was well above average! Next came the physical tests which he just knocked out of the park. The standards for Washington and Idaho are different, but after all the push-ups, sit-ups, sprints and 1 1/5 mile run, he got 100% for Washington and 94% for Idaho! Yay, Gordon! I was/still am so happy that he did so well! I am one proud wife! So, hooray for Gordon! Anyways, now his results get sent to all these different departments and they will contact him for any further interviews/oral boards. We're hoping he gets a few calls in the next few months.

While Gordon was testing his butt off (kind of literally), Brooke and I were having fun with one of my old roommates, Jeanne and her little boy, Carter, who is 2 weeks younger than Brooke! It was really funny seeing their different personalities and how they respond to and play with each other. At first, Brooke would cry every time Carter would laugh. I'm not sure if it scared her or what, but we thought it was pretty hilarious. So here are some photos of them and just as a disclaimer: Carter is pretty much naked in all of them, but I promise Jeanne does clothe her son!!

When these photos were being taken, Gordon said "atta boy Carter! Way to cover up!" Haha!!

As you can tell, Carter is a funny kid with a really cute personality! Wish we lived a little closer! Maybe we'll move to Boise, though!

Also, driving up to Boise was interesting. Trying to keep Brooke entertained for 4 hours is not an easy task. Luckily, we found a few things she liked:

We also got to see some of our friends from Rexburg, Dominic, Brittnae and their cute 2 month old, Gianni! They make such a cute little family! Brooke was trying to steal poor Gianni's pacifier! Once a thief, always a thief! We are looking forward to them moving back to Rexburg in April, even though we're moving away a few weeks later!

Anyways, our trip was great and we made some really great memories! Thank you to everyone in Boise! We love you all and can't wait to visit again!

PS- Brooke and I (and Shayna and her kiddies) are taking an impromptu trip to Canada to visit our Grandpa who is very ill. Please pray for him! And, while you're at it, pray for us that our kids behave on the flights!! THANK YOU!
