This is actually in Logan at our hotel which my dad helped me out with because my reservation fell through and lost my money...still need to pursue that. After I got the kids to bed when we got in I took a long bath. It felt so good after being so stressed and alert all day driving in the snow. This is us about to take off to Idaho.
When I arrived I got to be with my nieces and nephews while my sister went to the hospital to have this little bundle of Joy.....Mary Grace Syphus held by her dear sister Eliza
After hanging out with cousins we made a short trip up to Donnelly and stayed the night at Grandma and Grandpa Jones' House. It was nice to be up there with them. Fires in the fireplace I have really missed. I look forward to someday having a fireplace again.
Cutie!

First bubble bath for Arya......She loved it...eating bubbles and all :)
On Wednesday we went to a church where my mom had a Chior performance. While waiting for it to start we hung out in the nursery
My mom on the Left side, my sister in law Becca in the middle and her mom sister Guyman on the end on the right
It was so fun to see my mom sing. She has such a great voice. They had some fun songs that were fun and had lots of personality to them.
Enjoying the performance
After the choir performance we went on a date with Grandma to the Idaho Aquarium. It was so much fun! It was a lot of hands on where we could touch the animals.
He was having a nice nap under the heat lamp. You could just pet him and he was really scaly.
This was the sting ray pool where we could touch pet and feed the sting rays. It was so neat. We loved it!
Arya was a little unsure about touching them :)
Here is one of the tide pools. This was another favorite. The anemone's were so fun to touch and reminded us a lot of the Oregon coast when we were there.
My scary boys :)
Sea turtles and some flat like fish I forgot to get the name to
Some little sharks
Oh Dear!!
THis was another fun fish pool. We had some small shrimp to feed the fish and they came right up to your hand and grabbed them. Arya enjoyed this one a lot
This was a huge eel that we saw. It would slowly open and close its mouth and these blue fish swimming around it would go in and clean the inside of his mouth. It was fun to watch.
The fun Sea turtle
The crew!
Back to the tide pools. THis one when you tickled the 'belly' of it would grip at you with it's 'tentacle' things. It felt really weird
THis was a soft starfish that was fun to play with. You would stick your finger down and it would totally suction to your finger. It was a fun sensation
one of the harder star fish
We made the trek home on Friday morning and got back at about 9pm. We made it in 13 1/2 hours. Better then last time. We hit one small rogue snow storm and sunshine for the Wyoming stretch.
It was so nice reuniting with daddy Saturday evening. So good to see him. So Sunday afternoon Arya woke up from her nap throwing up. The bad thing with a toddler who throws up is that she does it all over the house because you can't exactly tell them to stay in bed and have them be OK with it. After about 6 times throwing up Joseph went and bought her some 7up and from then on she was feeling better. This is her after being sick all evening and she is still as cute as ever. We are grateful that has past and hope no one else gets it. Now this week it will be nice spending time as a family, Christmas shopping and give the house a little attention it needs :) Hope everyone has a great Christmas season!
