So this was a BUSY weekend to say the least. I was hoping to see some friends while I was there and realized real quick I shouldn't even try. It was our first drive to Boise after moving here from Michigan and it seemed longer than I expected. We got there really late friday night ( like around 1 am), the kids didn't fall asleep in the car until we were almost there and then not anly when we got out did they just want to play because they had been couped up, they were so hard to just get them to go to bed in a new place! I then had to get up early the next morning to run the 5k I ran. It was put on by my Mom's work and we wanted to support her and run the race. This was the first time I ran with a jogger and it was way harder than I thought!! I probably should have practiced with the jogger, or I guess I should have practiced running for the race in general!! I love running and races are so much fun, it has motivated me to want to get ready for more races....hopefully that motivation doesn't leave me before I actually have a chance to do it! It wasn't a huge race and my little brother actually won first place because he was the only one in his age group haha! There was one other Mom pushing a jogger with 2 of her children and they gave us a $20 gift certificate because we are AWESOME =) to a store where I got some comfy flip flops. My sister placed in her age group and my brother-in-law got second in the 10K. My niece and nephew ran the race as well, it was a fun family event!
Here we are at the starting line
Crossing the finish line
Those of us that ran, and a few little cheerleaders who joined in!
There was a firetruck there for the kids. Ayden and Gavin had just gone to see one here in Utah and took a ride in it as well thanks to my friend so they were excited to see one again.
We then met up at the Boise Depot for some family pictures. My brother has a nice camera so we just took that and snapped some pictures for each other
Some Randoms moments
Ha what the photographer I am! My brother-in-laws tried to scowl at the camera, but with my charm got them smiling!! Their pictures remind me of "Good cop, bad cop"

The other Simmons Family (my little bro) didn't get there pictures because his wife had just had a baby and wasn't feeling well, but they came for the big family picture.
That night we had the blessing for my brothers new baby
This was so funny, Easton's cousin and aunt were rubbing his leg and arm and he just froze I am sure he thought if he moved it would end so he was as still as could be and loving it!
A great picture to end on! I am sure I have a picture like this of my brothers from every visit!
