Fun Things Happening...





The before and after pictures.
We have completed the deck and had a little family friend get together Sunday to break it in after church. We were able to hang the family hammock that Clayton had mailed to us from Brazil when he was on his mission. It is so pretty and comfortable. We have been eating out there every chance we get. What could be better than to have added a huge room to your living space and have it outdoors. Love it Love it love it.

We had a great time in Utah with Susan and family. Gabby ended going to the wedding with us and she had a great time. She talked our ears off, but we really enjoyed her company. Park City is really beautiful. The church was right next to the ski hill and so lovely. I also wanted to let you see a picture of the lovely wedding cake that was made for them. The flowers are made from frosting and they look so real.
Here is a picture of the Mulan costume that we made for Makayla. I know it is a little late but she looked so cute in the costume.
She spent the weekend in Swan Valley with her friend Alex. She has a gorgeous home right on the river.
Today was the last day of school for Makayla and she is feeling pretty weird about it already. I hope that she will not be too bored. We have been driving with her now that she has her permit. We have to drive with her for six months. She is pretty good and will get better with time.
Today is Clayton and Danielle's 3rd wedding anniversary. Time has gone by so fast. It just seems like yesterday that we were all traveling to Oregon for the wedding and then quickly back to Idaho Falls for the second reception. They will be graduating from BYU Idaho in July. Danielle in Accounting and Clayton in Financial. They have worked really hard and have done a great job of getting thru school quickly. We are very happy for them.
Well everyone have a great week and enjoy the warm weather. I just love Spring and Summer.
bye now.
