Happy Easter!

Rembrandt's ~ Eagle, Idaho

Rembrandt's is an old church that has been turned into a coffee house. The architecture is gorgeous and it's one of our favorite places to bring visitors.

Troy and Louise

The boys enjoyed playing a little Jenga

Grandma Louise is in town!

Troy's Grandma Louise is in town for a few weeks, so we decided to go to Downtown Boise and show her around. I just love all the old buildings and history downtown...

We enjoyed Moon's Cafe for lunch....love this place! Reminds me of someplace my parents might have hung out at in the 1950's!

They have the best malts and shakes...

Then we went to check out the Historic Idaho State Penitentiary

The old Bishop's house

The Surprise In-N-Out trip!

Well...Chase's favorite place to eat is In-N-Out. And since we've moved to Idaho, that is kinda hard to get to for lunch. Troy and I decided that when you turn 13 you REALLY NEED to have your favorite food. So, we secretly packed up the Tahoe and headed out on Saturday morning on a road trip. The boys thought we were heading to Nevada to pick up some parts for the shop. They were a little disappointed that they were wasting away a Saturday...but weren't they surprised when they saw this instead....!!!My parents and my niece were waiting for us with a birthday cake inside!
Chase enjoying his double doubleChase got the EnV phone from Oma and Poppa....he was soooo EXCITED!!! (Can ya tell?!)Since the closest In-N-Out to us is in Reno, NV we decided to stay the night at Circus Circus and let the kids play some games. They had a blast!

Even saw an acrobatic show...

All in all it was a great weekend! Chase was surprised and we got to spend a little time with my parents and Lani. What fun!

We have an "official" teenager in the house!

We have a TEENAGER in our house!

Tanner made Chase's favorite...cinnamon rolls. This kid sure loves his big brother!

And he gave him a XBox game he's been wanting...

Some Hollister cologne from Oma and Poppa....mmmmm! Lunch out with Dad and Grandpa
Chase loves hot wings and ordered the hottest ones on the menu!
Some buddies over for a little airsoft "war"
and burgers....
Chase has some really neat friends....these guys are great!

Time for cake!
We love you Chase! The past 13 years have been wonderful...you are growing up to be a really neat kid!
