Last week Dallin had to do is very first science experiment for the science fair! The project had to be on magnets so we made a little magnet contraption that shows the different pole forces acting upon each other. We called it "Herky Jerky." A magnet hangs down from a nail and swings around like crazy when it comes near the other magnets that are on the bottom part. It was so much fun to go to the school and to see all of the kids demonstrating their projects and answering questions.
After school we hit the road over to Boise for a long Presidents Day weekend. We watched my little brother in the Dinner Show at Timberline. He was the PIRATE KING in the Pirates of Pensance. He did a fantastic job and was so LOUD and FUNNY! It was great to see that side of him. Dallin and Parker LOVED it and they even stayed awake throughout the whole show! I was surprised since it is literally 5 hours long! I'm so grateful that my good friend was willing to watch Landon because NO WAY would he have made it thorough the whole show. ☺ Thank you Nikki!
It is so hard to believe that my brother is a SENIOR this year. I was feeling really OLD as I walked my kids down the hall at good ol' Timberline and showed them the picture of me on the wall, since we were the very first class to graduate. Crazy how fast time flies. Now that there are no more ROCKS at THS so it will probably be a long time before we have a reason to go over there.
I was also able to get away and see some friends which is always so much fun. We indulged ourselves at the Cheesecake Factory and then went to see the movie "I am Number Four." I absolutely LOVED the book and did NOT love the movie! It was ok but probably only worth a dollar movie or a redbox in my opinion. I HATE when that happens! O well, it was fun anyway. It's always a good time when I get to see all my girlfriends in Boise.
Sunday we went to church, hung out, and tried to launch a rocket my brother had built. We were all SO excited to watch it take flight! We counted down from 10.......3.....2.....1! Aaaaaaaaand, it didn't do anything. Probably because it was Sunday.
Today we went to IHOP and had breakfast with my parents and Jason. After breakfast we went over to the big field again and tried to launch the rocket one more time.
IT worked!
Then we launched ourselves back to Idaho Falls! Feels SO good to be home!

It was good to see you! I have to say that I really liked the movie! Maybe it was because I read it so long ago that I dont remember all the details, but seriously, how could it be a bad movie with the hottie they chose for to play John? ;)
The rocket took a sabbath, haha :)
Sorry we could not meet up, AGAIN :( Glad you had a fun time, Boise misses you.
Hope you had a great time in Seattle...next time we'll make it work!
OKay, so I just watched the movie but have not read the book. I HATED Sarah, bleh! Is that part of why you did not like the movie?
