Little Matthew...he's about 6 weeks younger than Preston. Isn't he a cutie?
Friday we made a 10 hour drive up to Spokane, WA to attend the wedding of my sister Penny. It was a LONG LONG LONG car ride! It was so much fun seeing family and being there for Penny on her wedding day. If you want the details, refer to Pam's blog! {My brain is so fried from all the activities!}
Preparing the cornbread salad for the "cook out reception":
(This is where there should be pictures of the wedding. But, I didn't take any. Hopefully when Pam processes them, I'll get to post some!)Downtown Spokane, where we were staying, was absolutely beautiful. They have a Riverwalk that crosses over the many bridges throughout the city. As we were going over one of the bridges, if you stopped, you could feel the bridge moving from the force of the falls beneath. Needless to say, I didn't stop to take a picture on that bridge! Talk about me having anxiety! :)

Me..in a Radio Flyer wagon...how cool is that?
The Falls {hence the reason the bridge was swaying}
We went out for dinner and had some yummy Mexican food. It was Beth's birthday, and the wonderful staff even serenaded her while she wore a big sombrero. 
In the morning we woke up and ate breakfast at Frank's Diner, the best place for breakfast in Spokane. The diner is an old railway car that the president of the railroad line had used as his office. We were thinking that Guy Fieri stopped there on Diner's Drive-in's and Dives {but I don't think he did. But....he should! It was awesome!} 
Winner, winner, waffle {breakfast}!
Belgium waffle w/ huckleberries:
Blueberry muffin french toast. How yummy:
The ride home wasn't as bad as the ride up there. Most likely because I didn't have my mind going a million miles an hour worrying about the preparations for wedding. The weather turned cold, and I think there was a light dusting of snow on the mountains around us. BRRRR! 
Paisley slept almost the whole time. She is such a sweet little baby.
It's good to be back in Pocatello. Things have been slower today...except for when Beth made me hike up the "hill" behind her house.
(a) It's not a hill, it's a mountain.
(b) There is NO AIR in Idaho! How do these people breath?
(c) We went at least 5 miles!
Beth is going to whip me into shape this trip! (And if not, Ben might not let me ever come back, especially if I gain weight!)
looks like you guys had a BLAST! Enjoy Freezing Idaho in JUNE. :)
