OUR TRIP TO COLORADO FOR KYA'S 5TH BIRTHDAY

Craig and I surprised our grandkids by showing up with Kindy and Briley for Kya's birthday party in June. They were so excited when they saw us! It was so good to see them and share in the fun!






We all went to "Build a Bear Workshop" so the kids could build their own stuffed animals. It was so fun watching them.





We stayed a few nights with Nate and Kindy before going back up to stay a few nights with Tom and Krista.

Back at Krista's


I was assigned to take care of Crew while Craig helped Krista put cages around the tomato plants at the stake farm garden spot where they were able to grow three long rows of veggies. As you can see, Crew didn't last long on my lap, he wanted to help!





Love that precious face!!

Kindy, Nate and Briley came up to go out to dinner with us at Chuck E.Cheese one of the nights we were at Krista's. We all had a lot of fun.









Sweet, sweet grandkids!!

NEW FISHING BOAT AND OUR GARDEN

Craig and Jeff have been wanting a fishing boat for a long time now, cause don't you know that when they are fishing from the sidelines, all the fishermen in the boats are catching all the fish!!
They searched and searched for the best buy and finally found it. They really have had a lot of fun in it, I must say! Jeff even has a seat reserved for his son Briston, even though Chell says it will be a while before he gets to go out on it!
Our square foot garden is looking pretty good, there is some green coming up!




PRATT AND KORTNEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!


Craig and I were married 33 years ago on June 12th. We were getting ready to go on a little getaway to Flagstaff on Friday morning when we heard my cell phone make a sound letting me know I had a text message. Pratt and Kort had sent a text of an ultrasound picture with "Third time is a charm" written above it. She had 2 miscarriages before this pregnancy, so the third time was a charm! Yeah another precious baby coming to our family! That will be our 6th grandchild. Our last 4 will be born within 16 months of each other!! We love it!

MORE MAY EVENTS

In our area we usually plant our gardens on May 15th, which just happens to be my birthday! So on May 15th my good husband was out planting green beans, carrots, peas, and peppers in the grow boxes he made.

Chell graduated from Northland Pioneer College with her associate of arts degree on May 16th
                                       We're proud of you Chell!

Kindy and Nate flew to Phx and drove up to our house with his parents to bless Briley on May 27th. Since Nate works on the weekends it didn't work out for them to come on a weekend. It was a special experience to have her blessed in our livingroom.
