Parkinson's pay a visit

While we were in Preston, Heather, Lance and little Kaysn dropped in for a visit. Of course everyone was so excited to see them. Kaysn gave everyone five and even a few smiles. Hopefully it won't be another year before I see them again. :)

Family Fun

Yesterday after church we headed to Preston to get together with Tam's family. Just a good old fashioned afternoon picnic in the backyard. Grandkids playing, mom cooking and siblings trying to catch up with each other. As usual there was way to much food and not enough time. Here are a few of the images of the day.

Pond Poo Gone!!!

Well, we finally did it! The annual pond cleaning happened today. We have been trying to clean the pond since the middle of April, but every weekend has turned out cold and nasty, until today...sort of! We decided it was now or never, either it got cleaned today or we would just start filling it in with dirt. We ahve never cleaned it this late in the season. As we got started around 10:30, it was overcast but not windy, which is nice. However, while I was standing in the muck pulling out the lillies (we had to split them), it started to hail. Ouch! We hid out in the garage for a while until the weather finally cooperated and we finished at 8 p.m. We were wet, covered in fish poo, very tired and sore. It was time for a hot shower, ibuprofen and a soft seat. Hopefully tomorrow we will enjoy it again...

May 22nd...really! Snow!

Again, snow...will it ever stop! I know that there wasn't enough to stick but come on! Brian and I had been planning on cleaning the pond this weekend, well that got postponed! Again! No way did we want to be out in the blizzard... no hail... no rain... no wind...no...sunshine! I am so confused, but worse than that...the weather is more CONFUSED! Please say we will hit temperatures over 70 soon!!!

Beautiful Day....

My, but time does fly! It was such a wonderful weather day today and Brian and I actually got home in time to do something in the yard. I know, that doesn't sound like fun, but really after all the gloom and cold, it was refreshing. Of course, I can already feel the effects of such a beautiful day! :)

Back to the Gloom!

Well, we just got back from Vacation! It was Sunny the entire time we were in Arizona and then we came back to the cloudy gloom of Idaho. I keep telling myself that summers in Idaho are much better than they would be in Tucson...if Spring is 90 degrees there....I don't want to see August. Anyway, once I go through my pics I will post a few!

One last day!

Our last day of vacation was very different. Dieta Jensen had invited us, along with other photographers to come and photograph their annual cattle round up. Hey why not, I had never seen one before. Mom and Dad were both there. Mom was the one that got us invited. It was fun, shooting cowboys and cows, watching how the handled the calves...then eating lunch with all of the people there. However, the wind was just to much, we finally had had enough of the cold. (Welcome back to Idaho!) We headed home to brush off the dust, unpack and sleep in our own bed. I love vacation!

More from Greg's...

Learning about Utah!

On our way through, we stopped and saw Greg and Shari and their little families! Kaitlyn was in her School Program that night, so we decided to stay and watch our little star! We learned all about Utah, we have to admit, it was really well done! Even Carly liked to show! Afterward we went out for Pizza before heading to Preston. Thanks Kaitlyn for letting us watch your performance and thank you Conner for warning me when the best songs were about to be sung!

Birthday Time for Tam

Our little vacation was not really planned around my birthday, but hey, celebrate while you can! Boy did we! Actually it wasn't too bad, we ended up staying in Beaver (yes Beaver, Utah) that night. We were just taking our time traveling along and well...you never know where you will end up. However, if you are ever in Beaver, you need to stop and eat at the little Family Diner off of the exit. Wow! It was a good birthday dinner.
