Memorial Day!

Somehow, the weather was warm enough Monday for the kids to go swimming at Grandma's. I didn't even go close enough to see how cold it was, but Braden sure was chicken to get in. Jenna & Quinn thought it was "perfect!" Check out how high Zach & Braden jump off the diving board! Jenna & Quinn played hard on the slide, diving board, and in the raft. Deidrea & Joey and Beth & Matthew just hung out on the deck. The last picture of mom is just funny because Bill is wearing 2, yes 2 pairs of glasses. Not only that, they are Grandpa's glasses. (Mom had a sliver he was trying to get out. Needless to say, even with double the glasses, he didn't get the sliver.)

Earlier that day Mom, Joy, Grandma, and me went down to visit Grandpa's headstone. I just didn't have my camera. The flowers were beautiful all over the cemetary.

New Habits!

Chris had two teeth pulled last week and since then, this is where you could find him. He hasn't felt very well and has spent more time on this couch than he has since we have lived here. I know that he hates sitting around doing nothing, but what else do you do when you have to take pain pills and are so tired you can't leave the couch? I will definitley be ready for him to go back to work!

MY Triplet Tribute!

Like Beth said in her blog, Mamie, Jeremy, and the girls have left Idaho. The day before they left, Mamie had a big BBQ with the moms of multiples club. There were so many kids, it was crazy, but fun. It was probably easier than if I just went to say, "Good-bye." I brought the girls birthday presents because I missed their party. I am hoping those little animals will help remind them of me when they play with them. I took lots of picutres, all before I cried, of course. I am really going to miss those girls! They were a big part of my life. I am also going to miss my long chats with Mamie. Miss you guys already, keep in touch!

I loved typing in high school and found this on my sister's old roommates blog. This is so much fun to try to beat yourself. I keep going back and it's lots of fun!

Family Home Evening

For the last 18 months or so, a bunch of us cousins have tried to get together monthly for family home evening. With all of our busy schedules, it doesn't always happen, but this month it did. Chad and Britt hosted the evening and fed us BBQ style. Dinner was great, the lesson was great, and we all had a lot of fun. We also let the dogs have a party in the backyard. They had so much fun running around and playing with new friends. The dogs surrounded Chad when he went to cook more hamburgers. Enjoy the pictures!

Happy Mother's Day

So, I guess this is being posted a little late, but better late than never, right? I just wanted to wish mom a Happy Mother's Day. I think she had a great day, looks like it, huh? We surprised her with lots of gifts and it looked like Christmas.
I wanted to let her know how much she means to all of us. She is the greatest mom ever and does so much for all of us. I hope that she knows that! Anyway, I hope it was a great day.

We also had a little birthday party for Beth. Mom had already given her her presents the day before, but we celebrated with birthday cake. Beth ended up lighting the candles on her own cake, is that how it works now?

I babysat the triplets this weekend too. Mamie and Jeremy went to Montana to look for houses. Yes, I had the girls on Mother's Day. Mamie got to sleep in, that was a great Mother's Day present. It was a wild weekend, the girls are working on being potty-trained. They are doing a great job. Needless to say, we went through lots of chocolate. These pictures show how we all felt at the end of the weekend! Happy Mother's Day!
