Elevator Ride

We went again to the Museum of Natural Curiosity.

For about 20 minutes all Grant wanted to do was ride the elevator.

An exhausting day, sleep will hopefully be refreshing, if it's not too hot.

The M.O.N. C.

The M.O.N.C. stands for the Museum Of Natural Curiosity.
That is where we spent a good part of our day.

While I followed Grant around, everybody else went their own way.
We met up for some snacks and ice cream.
My eldest brother and wife took their 2 senior boys to Hawaii.
So I am the lucky aunt who gets to spend time with my nieces and nephews.
We are having fun being with a different set of cousins.
These next 10 days are gonna be fun!

Summer Time is Here

For the 1st day of no school, we headed out to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Daddy took some of the boys up Logan canyon on a short hike of fun and adventure.

In the afternoon, the kids checked out books from the library and then enjoyed playing on the splash pad next door.

Hiram took a bit to get wet, but then he was all in to get soaked.

Grant loves his black swim shirt and shorts.

He ran around everywhere.

Jaden and James would stick their toes over the waterholes and get sprayed all over.

Noah say up in a tree, reading the entire time.

Joyanne went home and stayed home most of the day, reading and relaxing.

Grandpa Time

We came to Idaho to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma Bills.

Grandpa just loves to fish, and Noah and Hiram liked fishing with Grandpa even though they didn't catch anything.

The day was fun as we spent a good majority of it at the Rexburg Nature Park.

Noah caught a wild rabbit.

His cousin, Marissa, took it home as a pet.

Daddy played Disc Golf.

Jaden and James went exploring and found a bird home with eggs in it.

Joyanne read a bit.

I followed Grant around as he went here, there and everywhere.

The evening was relaxing and enjoyable as we ate, talked and shared our talents.

It's always great to see and hear Grandpa play his accordion.

What fun memories! 

Yay! Last Day of School

Yay!!! The kids all loved their last day of school and are ready for summer break.

Jaden prayed in family prayer that it would be the best summer ever.

The kids were excited to get their yearbooks and have them signed.

At the Elementary they had an awards assembly.

Jaden received an award for doing well in math.

Noah received a few awards.

He did well in math, in typing, and the received the Cougar Award for best overall classroom performance.

You go, Noah!

We visited cousins, playing with them in the afternoon, sent Noah off to Father and Sons with a neighbor dad, sent Daddy off to work, and ate a birthday dinner with my brother.

Now off to bed late to start enjoying summer!

Appreciation

The boys have gotten into this game lately of taking their cars and dropping them through the metal shoe rack.

I'm not sure how this game goes, but they will play for hours at it.

It's fun to see the creativity.

I love my family and am so grateful for each of them.

I'm grateful for my Prince Charming and for all his hard work on the job and at home.

He is so dedicated and devoted to his family.

Each of my children bring a sparkle to my eye and make me a better mother and a better person.

They truly make my heart beat and overflow with a deep, abiding love for them.

5Th Grade Graduation

Noah had his 5th Grade Graduation.

Now he is ready to enter into the Intermediate School and be a 6th grader.

I'm so glad the school year is winding down.

We're looking forward to a fun summer break with lots of family time.
