Another Wednesday Night


Just a few lobbyists and the Senate Majority leader throwing down some gang signs.


Wednesday evening started out with a Shurtleff Fundraiser. Shooting guns. I hit one!


Apparently Wednesday's are when awesome things happen.



I told them to make there dance faces....


Twins sometimes end up wearing the shoes after not seeing each other all day... not a big deal...

My Shoe

Dear Right Dansko shoe,
Every time I move my right foot on the marble floors up here at the Capitol you squeak. I have cleaned you many times. Please stop. If you are up at the Capitol and need to know where I am at, just listen for the sticky squeak noise.

Love,
Me

Amanda Day At Spoon Me


There is nothing that makes me more happy than a delicious dessert from Spoon Me! But, no the name Amelia is not very popular (which is awesome most of the time), but Spoon Me had free day if your name is Amanda! So we were lucky! She is very happy. It was freezing, Wylie made Amanda mad apparently.....


We got back from an awesome weekend at home in Boise. Will have pictures up soon from it! Also, some sweet pictures from life working in politics coming soon.

What Do You Do On A Wednesday Night?



There are many people who have wanted to see this, so here friends and family here it is.

Labor Day Visit to the Hospital


Cody got sick. We woke up to these two visitors gone. Then we are all eating food at the hospitals radiology department with a lady who looked green. Then she is checked into a room. Doctors are coming and we are cracking jokes, making people laugh, and making Cody hurt because she was laughing. She goes into surgery, Wylie and Amanda go to Costco while Brando and I sit in the waiting room staring into the distance. Then we get costco food and feel like we are on Greys Anatomy while we are sitting in the hallway with lots of hospital beds. Doctor comes out, all is well, he doesn't want any snacks. Cody gets back, she is loopy, saying crazy things, see here for some more details and videos of her. We left so she could sleep, but apparently she was faking it so we wouldn't feel bad.


After the hospital we got a call from the Gerrads. We decided to go up Bountiful Canyon to roast some hot dogs and marshmallows. We thought it was going to be a little off roading and a half hour up. Well, with there 3 kids in our car with us and 45 minutes later we were up in the mountains into some pretty sweet off roading. This is the rig we were following. After we got into 4w low the kids started to get spooked and we couldn't quite make it up one spot. So we thought, we are just going to stop here, they will see our lights stop not a big deal. We needed to head back to the hospital anyways. Well, we keep telling the kids stories waiting for the parentals to come back. they finally came back... Jeff and Megan jumped out of the car and ran to us and hugged us... apparently Jeff went into panic mode. Jeff told Megan there was one spot we could have rolled down the hill and to look for noises or lights. We were all fine, just chillin. A little emotional moment, but all was well. We all went down after that. Amanda has been telling me that we haven't had any crazy adventure lately. She was glad we finally got one. We never cease to have fun with this family. We never want to miss an opportunity to party with them. Or as Max likes to say "Partay!"

Swiss Day's


This weekend for Labor Day we were lucky enough to join the Winborg gang up in Midway for Swiss Days. Megan and Jeff were nice enough to share there big bunk bed room with us. But, we weren't snoring... We may have gotten Jeff in trouble because we made him laugh really loud. Sorry Winborg clan that was trying to sleep. We may have stayed up until 12:30 with half of the Winkler family laughing and coming up with Swiss names and laughing...


The Dog Jumping up at Soldiers Hallow...


Check out this dogs feet, he was precious!


The Parade.. little girl with cute little dog.
