A Stick

One of the things I LOVE about Nampa is the beauty. In Idaho Falls, there are canals all through the city. In Nampa, it's a nature experience.

They have this greenbelt walking path all along the canals, making them so much more beautiful and enjoyable.
Yeah, yeah, I know Idaho Falls has a greenbelt around the river. But have you seen the canals? In Nampa, it seems like everyone has a dog and is always out walking it. The paths are paved, and they run along the creeks and canals. You will see ducks EVERYWHERE, maybe even sitting on your grass like a lawn ornament.

Just beautiful.
Vander and I took a walk down a nearby path and found this gorgeous park, where all the vegetation has been left natural.

We were going to be getting pictures of the kids the next day (those great ones at the river) but I couldn't help taking a few myself, even though I'm not a professional.

Turns out, the only toy a kid really needs is a stick.

Who Are We?

We are a crazy-fun family and we're happy as long as we're together.

We say "Yea" to: dogs that don't shed, fantasy books, a clean kitchen, Dr. Mario, casual athletic activities, Love and Logic, capitalism, Sobe, singing in the shower, Hispanic food, time-outs (for kids and parents), cloth diapers, coupons, Jack-in-the-Box, Taco Time, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, genealogy, seeing our extended family often, children who sleep in their own rooms, holding hands, on-line computer games, garage sales, Sunday dinners, love letters, home improvement projects, making a job go faster by doing it together, (appropriate) PDA, the annual BYU-I Halloween Concert, riding bikes, adoption, the temple, and Star Wars.

We say "Nay" to: government-run health care, putting each other down, nuts in baked goods, lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, cable tv, landline phone service, watching football or nearly any other sport (yawn), ridiculous email forwards that you know couldn't possibly be true, quack grass, dandelions, not cleaning up after your dog, gossip, allergies, and saving people (or companies) from the consequences of their own choices.

We agree to disagree on: illegal immigration, cheese, the right way to load the dishwasher, Japanimation, the proper length of a good haircut, cheesecake, the temperature, whether we should bring the dog camping next time, the color pink, whether a glass of chocolate milk counts as breakfast, Chuck-a-Rama, vitamins, and which of us is more fortunate to have found the other.
