June 2024

 

June 1 - Jared and Blake were laying some sod in Jared's yard and Penny was a big helper.

Brian had some extra rocks from his yard, so they loaded them up in the dump trailer and brought them to our house to fill in some low spots. 

As you can see, Penny loved the chocolate chip cookies at McDonald's.  Then, Scottlynn got to try a lemon, she didn't even pull a sour face.

June 2 - Grandpa and some little girls. I don't think this is how the saucer is meant to be used.

June 4 - We went to the Jordan River Temple.

June 5 - Another trip to McDonald's and more cookies!

My niece Alexis's little boy, Taylor loves all our big trucks!

June 6 - Molly got to meet a new cousin, Ava.  They hit it off at Bear World.  There are lots of games played when my sisters are in town! And end the day with a beautiful sunset.

June 7 - Shauna and Troy hosted a dinner at their place in Firth.  It was a delicious meal and fun company.

Shauna was the Pied Piper with little kids following her.  The kids had fun playing ball and dancing.

Penny thought she was cool to have her mom's mug.  Logan had to get on the roof to retrieve balls that got thrown up there. Another beautiful sunset.  

June 8 - Penny is being Grandpa's helper again and trying to figure out the scooter.  Then she went to share MacyAnn's blanket on the grass.

We had a family gathering at Parkwood Meadows.  We had pot luck lunch, a mini concert from Logan.  He didn't bring his own instruments, so he was good enough to play Blake's trumpet.  He was amazing! Jerry McCoy, a resident at Parkwoood painted this lion for Molly!

Brian had Clark's birthday party at Blastoff.  Annie and Molly worked hard at the climbing wall.  Hallie, Clark and Declan loved playing in the maze.

Maden and Nikelle played in the arcade.  Molly and Annie played some mini golf. Penny loved walking around in the maze and getting in the ball pits.

Clark was so cute when he was opening his presents, and being sung to.  His cake had a picture of him on his motorcycle.  

June 9 - 4 of the 5 sisters! Grandmas and granddaughters.

June 10 - Penny loves Michelle and Paul!

June 11 - Lynne arranged for baptisms at the Idaho Falls temple. Mom and Dad were able to ride the bus and come to the temple! Stefi, Samuel and Rob were baptized and the rest of us got to participate in the confirmations.  It was a great day!

June 14 - I got to take Clark to lunch and shopping before he turned 9!  He chose to go to Tche! It was great fun!  Then, we went to game stop.  He chose a game that wasn't a physical copy, so he only had a receipt for the download code.  We went to Ka-Ko-Jo's for some arcade fun! I loved spending time with Clark, he was so fun, happy and excited!

June 15 - An absolutely gorgeous sunset!

The sky was almost as pretty in the east.

July 16 - The kids painted some Brody Rocks and put them by the Brody Tree.  I love it!

Annie was a great baby tender!

Look how big Scottlynn is getting!

June 19 - The flowers are starting to bloom! 

I love all the flowers!

The orchid that Blake gave me for Mother's Day is still blooming beautifully!

June 23 - Some of us gathered to celebrate Brody! Penny thought she should ride in the dump truck, so Declan was happy to push her.

Penny sure is loving the freedom that walking brings her.  She also loved carrying Declan's Elmo around.

We had this friendly cat come for a little visit.

The flowers are looking so good and make me so happy.

June 25 - Another breathtaking sunset!

June 26 - I love this coral color!

I took Scottlynn to Parkwood, she was the star of show! 

June 27 - Hallie, Molly and Penny on the big swing!

July 28 - Some before and after pictures of the curbing and rocks on the south side of Jared's house.

Blake and Jared hard at work placing dirt and rocks and sod where they need it in Jared's yard.  The Lillies are taller than Hallie.

Randy Gneiting came with his tractor to help move the propane tank off the pavement into the rocks.

June 29 - While we were at Rupes, Ryder found his Grandpa Early!

Celebrate Blackfoot Fireworks are always so great!

June 30 - the Lillies that Blake planted by the fence look like they are in the desert. But they are a nice pop of color out there.  

Penny thinks she is so funny to get in Scottlynn's swing.  

May 2024

 

May 2 - Penny and Hallie are enjoying these fun little chairs.

May 3 - Really, May 3? There shouldn't be snow in Pocatello in May! I enjoyed my time inside the temple anyway.

The snow is gone, and I decided to put some fake flowers out on the patio to bring a little spring into my life!

May 4 - Beautiful, peaceful sunrise!

Scottlynn got to come visit! She's getting so big!

May 5 - More visits from Scottlynn!

May 6 - Beautiful sunset!

May 7 - Penny is dancing! She's starting to want to stand on her feet more.

We had wind, rain, snow, hail and loud thunder!

Jared and Blake are digging a big hole in Jared's lawn to fix a leaking sprinkler line. It's turning into a big job.

May 8 - Parkwood Meadows - I went up with Michelle and Paul.  We didn't know there would be horses there! Paul was the star of show, he loved the horses!

These beautiful, unique flowers came from Cindy and Ken! I love them!

May 9 - Penny was being a big girl! She held Hallie's hand to walk, Hallie helped her climb up on the bed, and she had to sit in the booster seat.

Penny worked really hard to get up on the bed, then she was so pleased with herself!

There was a cat up in the tree. Jared and Blake working on getting the leaking sprinkler line fixed.

May 10 - Gorgeous start to the day!

May 13 - Randy got to be the one to fill the big hole.  I guess a snow plow is for more than snow.

Maden got to be the bingo caller at Parkwood Meadows.  He did really well. He was getting some service hours for National Junior Honor Society.

Wonderful way to end the day!

May 14 - Blake gave me this beautiful orchid for Mother's Day.  The May Day Tree is blooming nicely.

Penny standing, and taking a few steps!

May 15 - It's a nice, bright sunny day.  Almost too bright for a picture. It was nice of the sun to hide behind a little cloud long enough to get a better picture.

I think Penny likes being a big girl in a big girl car seat.

May 16 - Hallie graduated from Preschool! She has really loved going to the Busy Bee Preschool.  She has learned so much and is ready for kindergarten!  Ryder got to come because he didn't have school.  

May 17 - Blake and I went on a little trip to the Brigham City Temple.  

May 19 - Penny suffers from a bit of jealousy if Scottlynn is in "her" places! It's hard to be big sometimes.  Scottlynn seems to think it's not so hard to be big.

May 20 - I got to go to the Young Author event at Ryder's school.  We looked through his book, he has written some really good stories. Then, we went to Chick Fit A for his birthday lunch.  He will turn 9 on the 23rd! We went to Game Stop where he picked out a game for the switch. We went to KaKoJo's and played some arcade games.  The guy was nice enough to give him the soccer ball even though he didn't quite have enough points.  I didn't get a picture, but we also went to Orange Leaf for a treat, and it was snowing when we came out!  I can't believe Ryder is 9! He's a very tall, talkative, happy, energetic fun young man! Love you Ryder!

May 21 - Hallie helped me make banana bread and lick the beater! We walked down to the Little Free Library to choose a new book.  There was a pretty cat just sitting by our tree.

May 25 - Celebrating Ryder!

Oooh, Scottlynn is excited to see these fun friends!

May 26 - Hallie, Penny, and Molly got to come to our house to get ready for church. Cute girls all brushing their teeth.

May 27 - Memorial Day at the Ammon Cemetery.  

Playing "Clear It" with Maden and Clark.  Clark ended up with almost a whole deck of cards in his hand! Maden kept getting texts from his friends that made him smile.

May 28 - I went to the Pocatello Temple, and on the way home the car said it was 82 degrees! Finally! I straightened my hair, but think I prefer curly.

May 29 - Visiting my parents at Parkwood Meadows - Randy and Julie came, along with Shauna and Troy and Michelle and her boys.  Micheal is the only one of the boys in this picture.

May 30 - This time, Molly got to help make the banana bread and lick the beater!

May 31 - Molly and I went to visit Grandma Beth and Grandpa Paul, we got to eat lunch with them.  Molly wanted to learn to play "Clear It" and she ended up with a whole lot of cards in her hand.
