Mr. Popular





Well, Grandaddy did it. He bought a golf cart. I don't know who is more excited about it Grandaddy or the great grand kids. They all jumped out of the pool to go take a spin in grandaddy new wheels. He is stylin thru the yard now. It is much quieter than the lawn mower. He came over this morning and we didn't even hear him coming. I hope he enjoys it and that it will get grandmom out in the yard a little more. She did go for a spin with him on Saturday. I guess it is true, girls do chase guys with cool wheels.

Reunion Time











Family Reunion time once again. This year was great just like every other year. Amelia won one of the big money jars. She walked away with $11.00. She was so excited. It was nice to see everyone. There was a little bit larger crowd this year. Estella met a few people that she recognized from her school and found out that she was related to them. Dallin spent most of his time happily sitting in Grandmoms lap. David cousins that live down in Florida were able to come up, also his cousins and Aunt from out west braved the trip. All of David's Grandparents children, grand children, and great grand children along with spouses were there except for one, Ryan, Allyson's husband had school. We hope he can make it next year. It was an enjoyable time even with all the rain that came just in time for our annual picnic at the compound. David and his dad worked in the yard all week for it to start raining about an hour before everyone started coming. so we crammed into the Grandparents house, and had a great time anyway. I was glad to see everyone and look forward to next year.

Graduation












Amelia had preschool graduation on May 15Th. She did Great! She looked so cute. We are so proud of her. She says she isn't going to go to kindergarten, so we hope she gets excited about over the summer. Amelia had a good year in school. She learned how to write all her letters and she is well on her way to being an excellent reader. Getting her to school everyday is well.... how do I put this nicely... a challenge on a good day, once she gets there of course she is a perfect angel. I hope school next year will be great for her and that it won't be such a struggle getting her there. Hey, I figure if your going to dream you might as well dream big right?
