This post is probably going to be a long one :) We were in Boise for 2 weeks and a few very fun and important things happened. The first one being my brother returning home from his mission! Most of our family made it to the airport to welcome him home. It was so fun to see him again! He looked different to me and even sounded a little different, I think it's just an "older" look and sound. Anyway it's good to have him back and it was fun to be able to spend a little time with him while we were there. 
We decided to wait on a couple of things until Kyler got home so that he could be a part of them. We decided he had missed enough since he had never met Brett or his nephew. We dated, got married, and had a baby all in the 2 short years he was gone! So last week we finally blessed our HUGE 4 month old baby. :) We blessed him at my parents house. I really liked doing it this way, it made it seem that much more personal. Brett did a really good job and so did Boston who slept through the whole thing.
And Finally, the most important thing we did while we were in Boise is get sealed in the temple. We are finally official. :) Those of you that know us well know what the situation was last year when we got married. For those of you that don't... long story short, I was married before ( I try to pretend that never happened) and had to file for a cancellation of sealing. 2 weeks before we were supposed to get married we got the letter back from the First Presidency saying they had cancelled the sealing but wanted us to wait a year. That was a shock and an emotional time for me especially but we put our trust in the Lord and his leaders and improvised. Everything went really well and now we are officially an eternal family. Obviously we would have done it differently if we could have but it was so neat to have Boston there with us. He did so good and it was such a sweet experience that I'm sure we will never forget.
Here are some other pictures from while we were home.....
