Adoption Training

We completed our 10 hours of "Adoption Training" this weekend and we learned so much!  My brain hurt afterwards, for sure!  But I am so grateful we got to meet some great people and get lots of ideas.  My favorite part was the "Birth Parent Panel."  I bawled my eyes out!  Good thing they had tissues :)  Those birth parents were truly amazing!  It gave me so much perspective and understanding that I didn't have before.  It was such a great experience!

My "Idaho Mom" was into town to watch my nieces for the weekend, so naturally, we had to go playyyyyyy.  We went to "The Museum of Curiosity" together and we had a blast!  They have all kinds of things to climb on and play around with, that the kids just love it!  There is nothing better in this world than GRANDMAS!  And Ellie is so lucky to have 4 of them.  Afterwards we went to Olive Garden for lunch and it was delicious.  It was such a fun day!! Feeding the fish. Zip-lining! Climbing everywhere! Gigantic slides! Rope bridges! Way high above everything else! And I am afraid of heights! The water station! They got soaked! Wind tunnel! Making music room! Olive Garden! Yum!

Date Nights and Such

 I took Dave on a date paint balling!  It was way fun to watch him get really into it, and for me to reminisce about my college days paint balling with my friends.  We also went on a dinner date to a comfort food place called CHUBBY'S (for a very good reason).  They have the best scones ever!  And lastly we had a movie night at our house.  Ellie gets so excited to pop kettle corn and turn out the lights :) Paint balling! Chubby's Restaurant Best scones ever! Movie night!
