Warning: LONG POST

Well...where to begin? On August 13, Chanc, Randy and Aidan decided to come to Boise, 2 days before I was actually expecting them(they were coming for Marissa's wedding) but I was glad they chose to come early ( I think I begged enough and my sister gave in...Love ya) While they were here, we laughed alot and chatted, it was great time with them just to ourselves and I am going to admit it... I didn't get enough of Aidan, he is such a cute little guy and boy does he love to jump. He was jumping away in his little jumper and it was so adorable, he makes me tired just watching him jump, but I love it. It was a bummer because the first couple of days they were here, I had to work and so did Manuel, and when we were with them in the evenings, they hours just flew by to quickly.

Friday, we headed off to Burley (funny: my family comes to stay at my house in Boise...we stayed in my parents house in Burley...odd) Manuel had a tournament in Burley on Saturday. After getting my hair done, and I made it over to the tournament, sat in my chair..i realized I was alone. Usually my family is there and Manuel's parents will stop by for a little while, but since my family was in Boise I was alone. But to my surprise and such a happy surprise, my in-laws came and stayed the whole time. It was great having them there and watching there son. Manuel's team took 2nd place, which is pretty good seeing that one player decided to ditch the team the night before and one other player was playing while he was sick. They did Awesome still. I am getting a little sad....Paintball season is over. I sometimes complain that it takes Manuel from me on Sundays, but I love the tournaments and watching him play, he is an amazing player...I on the other hand try to take as many pictures of him playing as I can, I have snapped some pretty sweet ones. I remember last year at one of the burley tournaments, I walked over to his field, took some pictures and was walking back to the canopy and I got hit in the head with a paintball...it hurt..and I don't know how he can endure the pain, I am baby... I have had 2 balls to the head and one to the nose...I think that I am good not playing. The tournament ended at 5:00 and then we rushed to Boise to make it to my cousin Marissa's wedding reception. We got there at 835...sweet 25 minutes to enjoy the blissful day of marriage for the happy couple :) It was a busy day.





Sunday, was Chace's 18th Birthday...I am getting old, I can't believe he is 18 still...The Asher clan, The Todd's, Bell's, Bench's and Vega's all went to Roaring Springs!! It was such a fun day, I had a blast, took the camera but didn't find time for pictures, the water was what we were all about. It was fun because while were in line for one the slide rides, Margaret and the girls were there, so after a while Manuel and I took the girls and the Bell kids, Chace and Chad and we went all over the place. Syd talked me into doing the Boomerang...NEVER AGAIN. IT was the scariest ride I have ever been on, but now at least I can say I have been on it...Right Syd? One on the slides, every time Manuel and I went on the blue one I think, we were about to exit into the pool and it would always flip over on us...resulting in Manuel flipping over me, pushing me to the bottom of the pool and me getting road rash. But when we would go on the other slide, nothing. We came out just fine. Even Mom, Dad Chanc, Randy went down the blue slide and nothing happened to them...WEIRD. It was a great day and then we ended it by coming to my house and having cake and Ice Cream in Celebration of Chace and Bradyn's B-days.





Monday- Chanc thought that I needed to work on my digital scrap booking skills and that's what we did pretty much all day I would say. Mom took the boy's shopping for school clothes and Manuel tagged along. Dad, Randy, Chanc, Aidan and myself stayed home. Rather relaxing, minus the power going out twice, odd. Then in the afternoon, Dad, Chace Chad Randy Manuel, Scot, Bradyn, Aaliyah, Kolby went to Huck Jam in Nampa. Tony Hawk was there. Mom, Chanc, Stacie, Ashton, Aidan and myself went to dinner and were going to go shopping but that didn't happen. We went to Smoky Mtn. It was sure Delicious. I love that place and Chanc had mentioned that it is one of the top 10 pizza places to eat in America :) After dinner, the guys called and said they were home, so we came home and hung out side for a while until Mom and Dad and boys, and Scot and Stacie and kids left for Exit-208. It was such a fun filled weekend.

Monday night...one last evening with the A-man...Manuel and I soaked it all up... we just couldn't get enough. We opted to take the little guy while his parents packed up because they were going to be leaving Tuesday morning. It was fun and I think he enjoyed hanging out with us rather than going to sleep like his mom wanted

Tuesday...I left for work, Manuel was sleeping, Chanc was getting ready and her two boys were sleeping....I get home from work...Manuel was awake...the Todd's were gone, it was sad, I instantly missed having them. I hope they move to Boise, so we can hang out more often. Chanc: I just don't think we would fit in Sandpoint...It seems a little small too me and I thought we already made plans for you to live next door to me in BOISE and our kids will grow up to be the best of friends...remember...now quit changing your mind on me...I am not liking that.

Friday night we had Family Vega night. We went bowling. It was alot of fun...I definitely have some bowlers of a family though. Gordo, Vanessa and Megan were totally kicking out butts. I did manage to break 100 each time though, the first game was 101 and it only went up-hill from there...I am contemplating joining a league...I think I would be an asset to some one's team (haha). It was fun hanging out with them and we definitely need to do it more often.
