He's My Brother

Sam came to visit us for the week, and we had a great time with him here! I love that we are somewhat close to BYU-Idaho so that we can see him when he has a break between semesters.

The primary objective during his visit was to help him shop for a car. He and I went out one evening and looked at cars at several dealerships. By the end of the evening, we had learned from previous experiences and we would introduce ourselves more specifically: " . . . and I'm Jennifer, his older SISTER!" I guess most people shop for cars with either their parents or their spouse, so it is understandable that we got mistaken for a married couple several times!

We did find a nice student car for Sam. I like to think that I impressed him with my negotiating skills and helped him get a great deal! We found the car during a weekday when we had all the kids with us. It took forever to negotiate and then finalize everything. Luckily, we survived since the dealership had a little room with a TV and an endless supply of movies!

While Sam was here we did a few other fun things. We introduced him to the joy of Seven Peaks. I loved that we all went together in the morning. When Elizabeth and Joshua tired out, I took them home for naptime/quiet time, while Sam stayed at the park with Nathan and Benjamin for a few more hours.



I tried to cook some great dinners while Sam was here, but we had to go out to eat, too! We chose Red Robin, one of our favorites!
