Visit from Grammie & Allyson--4th of July--Shosone Falls

Grammie and Allyson came to visit us the week of the 4th of July.  The girls had a great time hanging out together.  Dillon was playing in a baseball tournament in Twin Falls, so we went down to watch some of his games.  While we were there we took a side trip to Shoshone Falls.

Girl's Camp

Once again I was blessed to be able to go to girl's camp.  I really enjoy being there with Jenna.  We had a great time, but we were ready to get back home!!

A visit from Friends

We were lucky to have our great friends from Preston Todd, Mabel & Austin Larsen come and visit us 2 times this year.  We have a picture every year of these kids on the first day of school at the bus stop.  This was the first year that we didn't get one, so we took this picture to mark the end of the school year.  It was great to have them come and visit!!

Last Day of School/5th Grade Graduation

We are officially done with elementary school!  Brooke had a little graduation ceremony at her school on the last day of school.  She is big stuff now!!

Pepper

Since the summers seem to be hotter up here than in Preston, we decided to get Pepper shaved.  I had it done while the kids were at school.  When they came home they were amazed at how different she looked!

Baseball

Here is a picture of Dillon and his friends Matt & Seth at the year end baseball banquet.

Jenna's Solo

Jenna had her final 8th grade choir concert.  She was chosen to sing a solo from Les Mis.  She did an awesome job!

Dance Pictures

The girls have their dance recital this week-end and so we took pictures at dance class.  They have loved being involved in dance and plan to continue through the summer.

Spring Break

This year we spent Spring Break at home.  Dillon had baseball everyday, so it was just easier to stay home and tackle some projects.  Jenna has been wanting to make a rag quilt, so she started that.  I wanted to do a major overhaul on the kids' rooms, so we did.  Dillon played baseball everyday.  The girls and I had a girl's day out with a trip to the mall, lunch and shopping.  They each spent a day with friends and had sleepovers.  All in all, it was a good week!

Happy Birthday Brooke

Brooke wanted to have a friend party this year, so I caved!!  She had a great time with her friends.

We had cupcakes for the friend party!

 This is the awesome cake that a good friend made for her birthday!

 Jason was giving her a bad time about not being able to blow out all 11 candles!!
