Lots of Updates....

I can't believe it has already been a couple weeks since our last post. Yet again a lot has happened. I will try to go in order and also try not to bore everyone.

Memorial Day Weekend
For the first time in years....we weren't able to go camping up at the lot, which was sad. Instead we all met at Grandma's grave and left flowers, then we went on to the rest of the family graves. After all was completed we went to Grandpa and Lisa's for a BBQ. Some of us girls snuck away and went shopping. I found 2 pairs of capri's for fairly cheap, so I was excited about that. I have not had any for quite a while. It was really yummy and fun to be with family.





Everyone left pretty early, so Nate and I decided to go check out the new Indiana Jones movie. Major dissapointment!!! It just did not feel like an Indiana Jones movie. Nate liked it although.


Church Calling....changes
We went to church last week and was about to teach our 9 years olds when the Primary President came in. She asked if she could sit in and listen. Sure, why not! After class she said that a new position had come open and they wanted us to help out there instead of primary. So we are now in the Cub Scouting program and are in charge of coordinating and ensuring that everything is ready for the Pack Meetings. It is exciting and seems like it will be fun. It does make me wonder if we weren't teaching well...and they wanted to get us out of there :( We had our first meeting today and church and it seems like it will be fun. We are still working with the same boys we were teaching, so that is nice.



Memorial Day with Nate's Family
On Memorial Day we traveled to Dayton, ID to be with Nate's family. Every year they meet there, visit the graves, and then go to the shelter to have lunch and visit. It was fun seeing some of Nate's cousins that we have seen since our wedding and even some that I have never met. It rained the ENTIRE time and was really cold, but it was a fun little trip.







Hair Cut!!!
I took a couple days off at work so that I could get some things done. Like cutting my hair...back to normal. I really was scared as she was cutting it becuase it was so much! I donated it to Locks of Love. I also went to the eye doctor and got back into contacts too. I feel like a whole new woman. :)









Girls Day!!!
Wednesday I spent the day with Bekah. Her brother had his mission farewell and so they were in town. It was really fun seeing her and playing with Hunter a little. We haven't seen eachother since they moved to Boise a couple months ago. Her little family is so cute! We really miss hanging out with them.






Landscaping...
On Memorial Day we were at the store and saw that the mums had gone down to $1 each. we snagged some and decided to plant them in the yard. I don't think they look too bad... it adds a little color and detracts from our rock farm. :) After planting these, we got a little excited and decided to go and price a couple of bushes. We ended up buying 4 and got those planted. Next, we will start on the lawn. We are still waiting for the guy to come through with the rest of the money for the white ecslipe and then we can really dig in.











Misc Pictures....
Matt and his girlfriend came over the other night. Matt wanted his "hair done". I am also including the picture of the grill. We have used it 3 times now and LOVE IT! It is going to be a fun summer.
