About Me

JR has been a paramedic for Ada County for the last 9 years. I also work for Ada County Paramedics in the Logistics Department. JR and I have known each other since middle school. He liked me in highschool, but I thought he was too goofy. We started dating our second year in college. We were married August 14th 2004 and had our little Madison July 30th 2008. Colin completed our family on October 11th, 2011.

Grandma and Papa visit and Camping

Mom and Dad came down this weekend for a planned camping trip.  We went up to Pine Flats on Saturday morning and came back Sunday.  I had no idea when we planned the trip that we'd be in the throws of a heat wave, but we still headed out Saturday morning.  Once we set up the camp we headed down to the river to cool off.  There are a bunch of hot springs that come off of the mountain down to the river, so that the river is warmer right at the base and as you go up the hill the hot springs get hotter.

The kids did great, but you could tell the heat was getting to Colin.  He took a short nap and was up after 10 pm and Madison was awake until about 10:30 pm.  Let's just say that Colin woke up hitting Mommy and not wanting anything to do with anybody.  He did enjoy playing in the dirt and getting filthy.  Madison had fun fishing and swimming in the hot springs and river.  She never complained or whined until it was time to go.  She didn't want the camping trip to end.
