Way to go Idaho

We have finally made a triumphant return from a very loooooong trip to Utah and Idaho. Cody had a job offer with McCall Police department in Idaho, so he went up there to test which includes, Physchological exam, drug testing, polygraph test and physical test, all of which he passed with flying colors. Now we are just waiting for them to complete his background investigation and we are out of here. McCall is a ski resort town in Western Idaho. I have never seen so much snow in my life. They had snow sculptures all over town form last weeks winter carnival. The snow from the snow plows is piled as high as a house.
It is very tricky snow, it looks safe to cross a field until you get 1/2 across and you sink up to your waist, then you have to turn back and get your crying two year old and carry her the rest of the way......awesome.

We had an awesome time at the hotel. The kids liked the pool, running out side and stuffing snow down their swimsuits then jumping into the hottub.

We also baptized Riley while we were in Utah, everything went very well. We are thankfull for all those who came and helped us out with everything
