homecoming, nursery & family fun!

Sunday was a great day - not only was it Jared's homecoming at church (he did a wonderful job on his talk, and the Boster men all sang a beautiful musical number - ah, I love my Boster men!), but it was also wonderful because James WENT TO NURSERY for the first time!! He officially turns 18 months this week, and we realized we were going to be in the Owyhee Ward for three weeks in a row, so why not try it out? It was the weirdest feeling leaving him in there - part of me was sad and felt bad leaving, but the other part of me was shouting "hallujah!! freedom!" What a weird thing to actually sit through Sunday School with my husband and actually get to pay attention to the lesson! I have to admit, I am so not used to paying attention that I found it a little difficult...

James did really well for about half the time, but apparently he got pretty sad when they were singing and coloring. He LOVED playing with toys, though, and I think he enjoyed the snack. We'll try again next week and see how he does!

We had such a fun Sunday afternoon with the fam. Jonathan's cousin Stephen and his wife Jen and their two cute boys came to the homecoming and then to dinner after, and James had a lot of fun playing with this 2nd cousins! They are just adorable boys. At one point all THREE boys were crawling around the porch making monkey noises. So cute. James was outside pretty much ALL day Sunday. He is now just getting old enough to really LOVE going to Nana and Grandy's house, and he just had a ball!

Ah, I love the Bosters! What a wonderful family. Glad I'm part of it!

Here are tons of pictures from Sunday...hope you enjoy!

I always LOVE these trees - they are planted in rows and look so cool when you drive past them!

I love the country!
