Memorial Day

Mink Creek Cemetry is a beautiful spot. We got to visit with some of Don's relatives while helping put flowers on the graves. Both sets of Don's grandparents are burried here, as well as a few other grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc.

Mother's Day


The grandkids got to help me dip strawberries in chocolate. We were going to save them for dinner, but they couldn't wait! A few made it to the table. They really were quite yummy!











Mother's Day was a special day, with 4 of my 5 kids coming to visit, and all 11 of my grandkids here. This was baby Riley's first trip to Grandma and Grandpa's. I got a large potted plant of hydrangea from the kids. Aren't the flowers beautiful? We had a BBQ and ate on our new deck. The weather was perfect for enjoying the outdoors - not too cold or too hot.

Taking a 'break' during a sudden thunderstorm at Don's softball game. The umbrellas gave us a bit of shelter from the pelting rain, driven by the wind. These are devoted fans!

Amanda, Eric, and baby Riley on his blessing day. We celebrated with a family dinner (with friends too) at Wendy's house in Eagle, ID. What a special day. Riley is a month old.

Our grandson, Ryan Brinton, turned 12 and was ordained to the Priesthood today. We celebrated afterwards with our whole family at Wendy's house.
