My LAWN!!

I know that probably no one cares about lawns the way I do...or so Brent seems to think...but I have an obsession with lush, thick, green lawns that are cut pretty long, and have the prettiest lawnmower swaths.  Yes, I am totally jealous of Pres. Troy's lawn, and also the Brower's!  So I have bugged and bugged Brent to fertilize, to spray, etc. etc. etc. for the last 4 years...and finally, about 2 weeks ago, I took matters into my own hands and headed up to Blackfoot to the Co-op to get me some of that "magic fertilizer"!
Well...my lawn finally looks just lucious!!  I mowed it on Saturday, and again today...it had already grown a good 3".  Anyway, since no one is here to sink their toes deep into it or to see it (Clint won't even drive up...) I thought I would post some pictures!  I'm sure pictures don't do it justice, but here you go anyway!!

These last few are of my flower beds...they are looking pretty good from last year's planting.  

We only had a few plants die that had to be replaced.

And yes, that's clover you see in the last picture.  Brent sprayed last night, but it hasn't killed it yet...just made it curl a little which makes it stand out in pictures...but soon it will be DEAD!   Yay!   I love my lawns!  I hope they will stay looking this good for the rest of the summer, but of course we have had tons of rain and cool weather too, so they probably won't!  Thanks for bearing with me...I know...I'm strange!

Random Stuff...

Over Memorial Day Weekend, we took a quick trip up to Clarkston, to deliver countertops to Trisha and Danny's house. It was fun to see the kids and the countertops Brent made turned out pretty sweet!

And Grandpa's ipad could certainly draw a crowd! It was a hit...

When we got back...it was time to move Clint and Katie back to their house :( But not until another bowl of ice cream...which seemed to be an interesting topic for Corgin...

Once Grandpa's was gone...he moved over to help his mom finish hers. He comes with his own spoon!

We also attended the blessing of little Linkoln yesterday...it was awesome!   Sorry, I forgot to take my camera...but thanks to Grandma, here's a couple of pictures.  And might I just add here that we have totally loved having their company for the past 6 months!  They will be greatly missed! 

Also...just one more month until Jacob is home!! He is on his last transfer as Elder "Von" Simonson!! haha...we look forward to his return. Release is on July 8th, but we will be picking him up, so we won't fly into Salt Lake until the evening of the 14th...his report will be Sunday, the 18th of July! Yay!

Just a couple of pictures that Grandma Hamblin had on her camera of our trip to Carribean/Florida. This is the little outfit we bought for Addi on our cruise...

and a couple of pictures at our hotel with the little girls...

This one cracked me up!  Quite the passionate kiss there Addi....lol!

One last thing...I hear there's a recent opening on the Mariner's team...is there room for another pitcher??

Grant's available for the job!   hee hee hee...awesome, I KNOW!!
