reception #2 & thanksgivin.

We had our 2nd and final wedding reception the weekend of Nov. 17, in Boise.
It wasn't the most convenient considering Nate's surgery and all...but it worked out just fine.

driving to Boise, Nate was definitely still loopy from the painkillers.

We went to Kip Moore, Justin Moore & Eric Church the night before in the Taco Bell Arena.
We really enjoyed Kip and Justin, but lost a lot of respect for Eric Church. In fact, we didn't even stay for our favorite song or his encore.

enjoying Nate's first country concert, on crutches...LOVE the guys face in the background! he was so funny...plugged his ears the whole time!

Our reception went well, it was a lot of fun and fun to see so many faces we hadn't seen in forever!

opening the giant boxes that had come in the mail!

I really enjoyed getting to spend time with my nephews who were in town from Florida!

taking Link birthday shopping!

I did not really enjoy Nate's pedophile mustache.
Actually, the first thing my mom said to him when she was him was "now that's creepy?"

creepin.

We went to the Boise temple dedication on Sunday which I really enjoyed.
After all the weekends festivities, my sister and her boys decided to come back to Utah with us for a few days. I had a crappy work schedule and didn't get to hang out with them a whole lot, but Nate did and he had a lot of fun practicing being a dad.

church history somethin or other.

cute boys.

celebrated link's 3rd birthday! all he wanted was "a chocolate cake!"

which he didn't even eat any of!

at the dinosaur park.

what a good stand in dad, he even carried the diaper bag!

We left to go back to Boise at 10:30pm Wednesday night. It was a long night of driving but the boys slept ALMOST the whole way. Porter did scream from Mountain Home to Boise at 2:00am.
Thanksgiving was good, got to eat a lot of food and hang out with family.
And now we are back into the swing of things in Utah.
Just trying to finish organizing our apartment! It's been a busy few months but its not over, we are really starting to look forward to our cruise we leave for in 10 days!!!!
