Why Utah/Idaho you ask?...
Todd was given time off after the holidays for paternal leave:) So although we were suppose to stay home and relax with Takoda we decided to go to utah and idaho. I was not sure about the idea at first, since i barley make it to grandpa/ma walker's house only 30 min. away..but I knew he needed to see his great grandparents. Todd says, "and while we're there..lets go to Idaho". I definitely wasn't too up for it since it is the dead of winter and another 3-4 hours and Takoda's first trip. But we did want to see the growth of little 'ol rexburg and our friends, so off we went on our adventure. Luckily Kate came along and definitely helped out with Takoda. I knew but didn't at the same time how difficult it is traveling with a little one, for the past 4 years todd and i have only had to worry about ourselves. I thought i might have packed too much for takoda but seriously used pretty much all of what i packed for him. Every night we spent the night somewhere different..it was exhausting to pack and unpack but so much fun and worth it. Rexburg has grown sooo much...honestly i think i prefer how it was when we were there, but so good for the small little town i guess:) All in all we had a great trip and so glad we were able to visit everyone! I guess I had to travel sooner or later with him and now that we conqured it i'm ready for our next trip:)

Laura, it looks like you guys had a great trip! I can't believe how fast Takoda is growing! I haven't even seen him yet! We need to get together and soon! Call me!

He is so...............cute! I love the picture of him in the sleeping bad. It looks like your trip was lots of fun seeing the family. Ok so I guess we aren't hurt any more that you didn't want to come here. :) ha PS: Takoda is starting to look more like you, Laura. :)

Seriously, didn't you just have that baby? He is getting so big. What the heck, I didn't realize they grew that fast, or maybe he is just getting so really good milk! Tell Kate we said hi too. She should come visit when she is driving to meet you guys.

I think you should come hang out for a few days, and we can shop, and eat. Pretty much what I have mastered! haha See ya in a week. I agree with Rachel Takoda is looking more like his mamma!
