Levi

 At the end of January we went to dinner at our friends home.  They live out in the country and have goats.  It was so cold out, about zero degrees so Mark and Levi were the only ones to go on the tour of the property.  

Snow Day

 On Jan. 29 it snowed again!!!  We love the snow and of course take a snow day.  

We all made a snowman.  This snow fall was a bit more wet so it was easy to roll the snow.  Last snow day we tried but it was so dry nothing would stick.  We aren't used to dry snow, back in WA we always had wet snow.  So it was fun to be able to make this snow man.  

Then it got hot so the coasts came off.  

Date Night

 While my mom was visiting, Mark and I got to have a date night.  My brother and his wife gave Mark and I a gift certificate to Fork for Christmas.  We had a great time and a wonderful dinner.  This restaurant is right in downtown Boise.

Here is a picture Mark took of Downtown Boise.  Isn't it beautiful?  

My Mom

We had a wonderful visit with my mom.  It wasn't long enough!  The day she flew home I think I cried myself to sleep.  And then cried the next day too.  I think it takes a really good cry after such a wonderful visit to be able to get back to normal.  We miss my parents so much!!
