Cousin Time

Mama and Madison love teasing each other. Madison cracks mom up.

Enjoying a donut at Meriden's swim meet

Mad Dog is almost as tall as GRAMMY!!

Quads and Horses

Enjoying sometime with Thunder. Kaiya has turned into a wonderful rider.

Gizzy loves to ride horses!! She is happy, can you tell?? 

Show 'em

I love this song . . . but, more importantly, I love the message! Being sure the people you love know you love them! Even more important giving them enough love that if they ever have to go on without you . . . they have enough love from you to sustain them! 

Memorial Day

We went to Utah to put flowers on graves of our relatives. We visited Salt Lake City to place flowers on Y On Yee. Then we went to Provo to place flowers on great grandma and great great grandma Burr. Finally, we went to Grantsville and placed flowers on Great Man Meece, and Grandma Jane. We helped water flowers. 

Staff Meeting

Occasionally you are required to attend a staff meeting that goes from BORING to BOWLING in a few short surprising minutes and a bus ride! 

Sometimes your boss wonders ... "Why did he take the goofy teachers out!?!" 

Cousins and Fun

Arrived in Idaho to love on the horses. However, specifically loving their horse Thunder. Once the cousins were out of school we spent time with them. We headed up to the farm to check out the beautiful land on the snake river and the barley that was freshly planted. I love that the girls get to experience all the fun of farming, ranching, and wildlife. 

First "sleepover" at the farmhouse.

Loving cousin time! 

Riding at the Osgood Barley Farm. Too many fun places to explore and enjoy. 

Lucky Girl

We went to skateland tonight. Enjoyed lots of fun with friends. While there the girls wanted to okay the games. Lulu's luck has continued! She she is happy with any number of tickets. She'd dance around when she had won 4 tickets. Then, it happened ... She won 1,000 tickets. I could not believe it!! This is the 3rd time in 4 months she had won 1,000 tickets.

Love these two... Sweet sharing sisters! 

Kaelanibwith her 1,018 tickets! 

The split the earnings down the middle... Posing with their treasures! 

Resemblance

Kaiya was in my room as I was getting dressed. Soon, I hear "mom! This is totally freaky!" I go to see what is "totally freaky" and she points out these two pictures. 

"Mom, Kaelani looks like Grammy!" 

There is definitely some similarities. The things my super observant miss Kaiya notices. Love her!!! 

Temple with batman

We went and wandered the Temple grounds. The girls and I love this place. We loving evening walks here. Today, we had "batman" with us. Love my girls! 

Sometimes batman moves too fast to capture on camera! 

Kaiya loves the holliehocks. 

Puddle jumping! 

Busy Saturday!!!

We had an extremely fun and busy Saturday. We cleaned out all of Kaelani's room and closet etc. Then, we started on Kaiya's. 

At noon, we went to the Broadway Palms Children's Theatre to see Flat Stanley.

The girls loved the buffet. Lulu had two plates of food. 

We decided to take a picture and the following funnies ensued 

      Little Tinker Bum!! 

We giggled a ton!! Silly sissy!! 

After the play, we ran home and switched from off broadway gear to western gear. We had horse back riding lessons at 3:30 pm. 

Sometimes you ride mama's horse. 

After riding lessons, we jumped in the car and headed to our annual tradition of the Payson Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo. 

Sister Missionaries selling raffle tickets. 

We got to say hi to Mama's friend on the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee. 

We had so much fun and enjoyed our Saturday together!!!
