Athena's class went on their first and only field trip this year. Our whole family and baby Grayson (the little boy i babysit) went to the Boise zoo. Our family has a zoo pass and frequents the tinniest zoo we have ever seen often. Athena was so excited for the trip for one main reason... She rode a school bus for the first time ever. she has asked us all year long when this very moment will happen. She had a great time hanging out with her classmates and showing her bother and sister how to interact with her class. Ms. King is so good to all our kids who are always at class events. after we were done at the zoo we went on an unexpected and quite lengthy walk to a "nearby" park to eat our lunches. Darius was so fed up with the walk he was quoted saying..."This wakings for the birds" He is quite a character.
Our family started back in Californian when two 14 year old kids met through mutual friends... Tyler was in Gilroy and Alexis in San Jose. Over the next 4 years we periodically ran into each other making sure to always exchange pleasantries and then we were on our way until the next time our paths would cross unexpectedly... Then in '98 we started attending the same ward/congregation of church. During that first church activity together we had our first actual conversation that was so completely groovy even an on looking friend teased us about getting married… After that encounter we were pretty much inseparable… Well except for the 2 year break we took starting in January of 2000 while Tyler served a mission for church. He came home and we were married June of '02. Athena joined us in August of '03, Darius in June of '05, Ari in June of '06 and Kallista in October 0f '08. All the while we made sure to keep mixing things up by moving from California to Utah in '02, Utah to California in '03, California to Arizona in '05, Arizona to Tennessee in '07,Tennessee to Idaho in '08 and Idaho to Utah in '09. That's us in a nut shell... or is it?
