May... as in MAYbe Spring will come??

Before I get too far ahead of myself...I must mention that our newest little grandson, Linkoln Paul...turned 1 the end of April.
April 27th to be exact!  He is such a smiley little guy, and so cute!!  We love having him so close by
so we can hug and kiss on him so often!  Happy Birthday Linky-poo!

Then moving on into may, came the engagement, and then the end of school and moving home, of Jacob and Janelle!  We are heavy into plans for a beautiful June wedding.  June 18th to be exact!  We are hoping the weather will finally be nice and our yard can have some time to recover, but are looking forward to having everyone home for the event!
In May, Katie and Clint went on a dream cruise for their vacation...a Mexican Riviera cruise for a week...and we got to watch the boys!  A week with these two wild indians!!  haha...
They were a lot of work, but a lot of fun too!
Then brings us to the end of May, and we celebrate twice on the 27th!  It's Clinton's Birthday!!  Yes, he was born on our 5th Anniversary, so that makes him 29!  He is always up for fun...he loves to joke and tease us and would be pretty good at it, if he wasn't so honest...he always confesses too quickly!! haha  He loves to fish and do things outdoors, is an excellent tiler and helps his Dad alot with the concrete work, he is a great Father and Husband and is so good with the boys!
We wish him a very Happy Birthday!!  Love you, Clinton!


And today...well, it's our 34th Anniversary!  Yes...I've been driving Brent Crazy for 34+ years!!
I am happy to say that I think we are in a "good place" and are enjoying our empty nesting years.  We love our kids and grandkids, and enjoy living in Inkom, in our new home that we built together.  We will celebrate together with a little weekend "getaway", and I'm sure we will have a great time!
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband...I love you!
So much for May...it has come and gone SO fast...on to June...
family + wedding = FUN!!!

Random trip to Lewiston/Moscow

I took a little trip up to Northern Idaho.  There was a lot going on up there, and I just wanted to see them all and be a part of it!
AND, a trip to Lewiston would not be complete without a trip to Waffles and More!
 Grant and his funny face waffle.
 Ali enjoying the hot chocolate
 And Grant's favorite!!!  The Whipped Cream!
I said there was a lot going on...well, I was able to be there when the ring finally showed up, so I got to be a part of the engagement!  Jake and Janelle are engaged to be married on June 18th!  We are excited to have her as part of our family, although she already has been...it will finally be official!
 While I was there, the Young Women of the Institute Wards gave her a little bridal shower, and she invited Trisha and I.  It was fun to be there and take part.  She was so cute!  and funny!
 There must be something in the water in Moscow...all six of these friends got engaged in the last few months and are all getting married right away!  Janelle was the youngest engagee!!
 Then, the main reason I went to Lewiston...because Danny invited me to come see him for his Birthday!  Sorry to say, but I had to leave the day before his birthday, and his present I ordered him didn't even make it in time...so I felt pretty bad about that!  I didn't even get a picture of him on this trip, so I will use one from an earlier birthday...he still looks the same!  haha  
He is a great part of our family, we enjoy his smile, his antics, his charisma, his charm...and we are so proud of the person that he is and has become!  Happy Birthday, Danny,  love you!
