Tyson & Courtnie and their kids are in town! June 13 - 30, 2014

Tyson and Courtnie and their family are here visiting!  Here are some of the activities we got to enjoy together:

Chelsi, Emma and Kimmi played dress up

We always go out to get a yogurt at Kiwi Loco.  Payton, Emma, Kimmi and Kaden really like spending cousin time together.

We like going to church with these little munchkins!

One of my favorite activities is going to see the Rexburg Temple.  Kaden and Emma remember going in to be sealed.  They say it is their Temple.

Picnic at the school park is always fun to do.

In this picture is Kaden, Emma, Kimmi and Payton.  Courtnie & Kash and Carrie & Braden and I, had fun at the zoo and a picnic after.  Chelsi took her lunch hour and came to the picnic too.  This was a fun day!

Sean's Farewell June 6 - 9, 2014

Our Nephew, Sean Fitzgerald, is going on a mission to the Salt Lake City, East Mission.  We traveled to Arizona to be a part of the festivities and to go to his Farewell.  We stayed with our friends, Tony and Wendy Spooner.  While there we visited our friends, Randy & Julie Gleave and got to see Cole.  We spent some time with Susan and her family and got to meet Sean's birth-mother and sister.  That was interesting.  Sean is going to be a great missionary!

This is the Phoenix Temple.  It is getting close to being done.  This Temple is just 20 minutes away from where we lived in Peoria.  We just had to have a picture.

Yellowstone Park May 26, 2014

Well, we journeyed to Yellowstone Park this fine Memorial Day Weekend.  Jamie & Darla came with us.

Chelsi and Jamie being silly by the phone booth.  We were at Mammoth, we even saw a bear running up the mountain side just outside of town.

Me, Clinton and Chelsi at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

What was supposed to be a nice picture with my daughter, turned into this.  I was trying not to let Chelsi throw me into the snow.  She just about got me.

Going Away Party for My Laurels May 17, 2014

Seven of the Laurels graduate.  I am so sad to have these girls go.  I will miss them.  They have been such an asset to our group.  The outgoing Seniors are:  Melia Dayley, Sierra Spratling, Kira Hansen, Sam Luthy.  Amber Palmer, Breanne Gardner and Hailey Arnold ( my neice).  I have gotten really attached to them.

This is just a little sampling of the breakfast we had ready for the girls.  We went early to shake them out of bed.  It was also a surprise!  They didn't even know it was coming.  We had each girl stand up and tell what their plans were for the future and gave them a gift.  It was a very happy/sad morning.

Mother's Day May 11, 2014

Happy Mother's Day!

Clinton never disappoints.  He always remembers me at every holiday.  He is so thoughtful and I love him for making me feel so special all the time.

Hailey's Wedding May 10, 2014

Hailey's Wedding Day was beautiful!  It is so fun to be a part of such a wonderful event!
She is getting a great guy, Tyler.  We are so happy for her.

Chelsi and Hailey are cousins, sisters and best friends.  It has been fun to watch them grow up and become so close.
