A Trip to Utah and Other Things....

It's been a couple months since I updated so I thought I would catch you all up!  We've had some birthdays, various activities, and a trip to Utah, so here goes....

In March, Cinderella came to Gammage and Cori and I couldn't resist.  It was amazing, of course.

Aren't we cute!

We had the best seats!  No one in front of us!

 Clark celebrated his 11th birthday in March. His mom told me he likes Dove bars......

....so we got him a Dove bar of soap!!  Yes, that was Scott's idea.

He was happy to get some real Dove chocolate too.

Malia had a school concert.....

Clark and Agnes joined us for General Conference....

And Gurrie placed 2nd in a horse show!

Agnes celebrated her 9th birthday in April......

So happy to get her favorite game, Sleeping Queens.

Our niece, Abbey, came home from her mission in New Zealand last week so we went up to Utah to celebrate her homecoming and hear her speak.  It also happened to be Nicoles' birthday and Mother's Day so we did a lot of fun things.....

Wesley has grown since we last saw him! He is so fun and adorable.

And Camden keeps growing too!

Nicole wanted a slime cake for her birthday and Camden decided purple slime was best, of course.

Happy birthday Nicole!

Watching Veggie Tales with Grandpa....again and again and again.

Dan made us a delicious breakfast on Mother's Day.

Hanging out at Kevin and Becky's after church. Welcome home Abbey!

Jared and Cate left Vegas at 4am, went to church in Provo and taught Primary, then drove up to West Jordan to hang out with us. You're amazing and we love you for doing that! Now get some sleep!

Beautiful day for a walk!  I love West Jordan,,,hmmm....maybe someday!

In my last post, I had pics of the garden box I started a couple months ago.....

This is what it looked like when I first planted everything....

....and this is what it looks like now!  We just had green beans for dinner and I'm about to pick the first two cucumbers.  Tomatoes are still green but coming along. Strawberries aren't doing anything, darn it.

 Well, that's about it for now.  We are looking forward to being in Utah again for Wesley's blessing and the family reunion.  Until then....

Oops, I forgot to tell you that Riley says hi!

A New Grandson and Other Things.....

We have a new grandson!  And I can't wait to talk all about him, but first I need to catch up on some other things.....

First of all, we had a cold spell back in December that made me think we were going to have a long winter.  I was very excited.  Well, the cold spell went away and it turned warmer than usual very quickly.  We have had temps in the 80's and this week it hit 90!  Needless to say, the kids have already started swimming.

Not sure what they are looking for, but they love the rocks.

Ha! It's a little cold getting in....

But then they seem to be fine. I am not willing to try it yet.

We had a great Valentine's day with the Olsen's.  That has been a tradition for 4 or 5 years now.

Best husband ever!

Jared and Cate sent me some cute things for Valentine's and so Agnes and I made this picture for the cabinet.

The Robinson's know that Nicole and Ashley love puzzles.  Karina ran across this puzzle and couldn't resist buying it just for them.

Get ready Nicole and Ashley!

It will be waiting for you at the reunion!!

I went to a RS meeting a couple months ago and attended a class on gardening.  She talked about gardening in container boxes and for the first time I got really excited about trying it.  Karina wanted to try it too so we took on the project and made a small 4x4 container for each of our yards to try it out.

Other than a little trouble with the power drill, it went very smoothly and quickly if I do say so myself.

Grandma Klundt was here the day we put the boxes together so she helped us out.

Voila!

Ready to dig holes....

Scott helped with that part, best husband ever!

Then we added our soil, plants, and seeds. I have tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, green beans and am going to add a couple red potatoes this weekend.

Keep your fingers crossed!

Now on to the best part....Dan and Nicole have a new addition to their family, Wesley Cole Davis, born February 23.  He was 8lbs 9oz!  He had a little trouble the first few days with some breathing problems and was in the NICU, but he was a fighter and is doing great!  Scott and I were able to go up and visit.

On his way home!

Content on Grandpa's lap.

He's so cuddly!

Jared and Cate came by to see their new nephew.

Such focus...ha!

Is that a smile?? He loves his grandpa.

Camden loves his little brother!

Wesley needs a toy!

So proud!

There was also quality time with Camden which is the best ever!

Working with Grandpa!

It snowed twice!  Thanks, Utah!

Camden and I had some fun in the snow.

Snow angel!

Shoveling the driveway for Dad!

I completed a puzzle while I was there.....150 GIGANTIC PIECES ALL BY MYSELF! Nicole and Ashley, watch out at the reunion!!  You will have some serious competition. 

Eventually we had to come home, sniff, but we will be going back up for Wesley's blessing.  That's all for now. We are doing well and life is good!  Love to all.
