Another Year Come and Gone

Another year has come and gone. It's that time...time to come HOME! I have been looking forward to this day and it is with bittersweet emotions I write this post. We have had such a good time living in Pocatello. We have created so many memories as a family here in this town and I am so grateful for the opportunity and the time we have had with just our little family. I am truly going to miss it. Here is a collage of some of our favorite memories and we are surely going to miss this place!

Our most favorite thing to do in the evenings was to go up Mink Creek Canyon for dinners and to just hang out by the fire and relax. This canyon was literally 10 minutes from our house. Needless to say we spent a lot of nights doing this.

Another place we loved hanging out at was the sand dunes in American Falls. They were about a 40 minute drive. Seth learned how to ride his bike there and Mae got some fun rides in too. 

The winters are so long here so we took the kids over to Outer Limits a lot so they could burn some energy off. This is pretty much the only thing in town geared toward kids. The kids loved to play while Tim was usually busy in the arcade being a kid himself ;)

I couldn't figure out why I was gaining so much weight living here...maybe this has something to do with it. We would literally go to Farr's Ice Cream every day. They have THE BEST ice cream and you get a large (cup full) scoop for a DOLLAR. Seth's favorite was Brownies on the Moon and Macee's favorite was Birthday cake...mine too. Tim isn't a huge ice cream fan, but would get Oreo now and then. We are surely going to miss this place!

 My kids have grown up so much this past year. I just love them so much and I am so glad to be their mom and share all these wonderful memories with them!  I have such an amazing husband who works so hard for us so we can enjoy this time together. Thanks babe!

While our time here is done. I am looking forward to going back home to my OWN home and to such wonderful neighbors and friends. I am also looking forward to being around our wonderful families again. One thing we are NOT going to miss is the L O N G car rides pretty much every weekend and the wind tunnel, cold, gloomy weather! Looking forward to having a Spring:)

GOOD BYE POCATELLO.....HELLO UTAH!
