Golfing

Randy, Ashley, Caleb and Hillary went golfing while we were in Salt Lake.  Hillary got this great picture of Randy and Ashley in the golf cart and put it on Instagram. I love the rainbow in the back ground.

Ashley, Hillary and Caleb out golfing in Salt Lake City. (Randy taking the pictures)   They had a great night and I enjoyed staying home with Lily and June.  

Bike ride with Hillary, Lily and June

 We went and got Hillary, Lily and June and took them on the bike path also.  June is so cute in her helmet.  The girls loved being pulled by their mom.

There was a play ground along the way that the girls had fun on. 

Provo/Jordon River Parkway on Friday

Randy and I went for a bike ride this morning again.  We started at 4500 South and headed north this time.  Some of the path even went over the interstate; plus we crossed TRAX's line and went through a golf course.  It was beautiful all the way.  What a great morning.

Fairy Party

 Hillary, June, Lily and I went out to Lindon, Utah to a Fairy Party.  It was so cute and the girls loved it.  It was a fund raiser for adoption.  The home it was held out was decorated so cute.  Little fairies everywhere, hanging in the tress , on the ground, just look and you found a fairy.

 Lily liked to play in the little tents.  One of the "real" fairies even read her a story.

 June liked to play in the grass.  It kept tickling her toes.

The yard was amazing.  Such a fun afternoon with 2 of my granddaughters and daughter.

Provo/Jordon River Parkway

 This is an amazing bike path.  We started at about 4500 south and headed south.  It was beautiful; an amazing calm morning and underpasses to pass all the roads.  WOW!!!!

We saw geese, pelicans, ducks and lots of birds.  Such a wonderful morning.

Memphis

Randy and I headed to SLC after the temple on Wednesday.  We went and saw the play Memphis at the Capital Theater.  It was a fabulous show.  the singing and dancing was awesome.  With our season passes we have finally worked our way up to Row K and isle seats, you cannot beat that.

Back Yard Project

Randy and Jaxon are working on a new picnic and fire pit area.  They are lifting up the trusses for the cover.  

Deanna's Birthday

Max and Deanna are serving a mission in Edmonton, Canada right now.  I made her this wall hanging for her birthday.  (I also had made Mary Anne one for her birthday in December, but did not post it until I sent Deanna hers.)  I got the pattern in Columbus, Ohio when we 3 sisters were there for a Quilt Show.  It is so great to have sisters.

Bike Ride

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride to go into town and also clean the laundromats.  The "R" Mountain still looks so good in the distance; then we passed by the temple; went and cleaned the old laundromat;  saw the flags lining Smith park;  headed through town; cleaned the new laundromat; and headed home.  So many houses had their flags out on display for Memorial Day. Days like this are perfect in Rexburg.

Randy in Politics

The 3rd Tuesday in May, Randy was elected as a Precinct Leader!!!!  Madison County has 19 precincts districts and is part of Legislative District # 34.  There are 35 Legislative Districts in the state of Idaho and two Congressional Districts.  Madison County is part of the 2nd Congressional District.

What is a PRECINCT and a PRECINCT LEADER ?

A Precinct contains all voters of all registered parties.  You are the Republican Precinct Leader for your precinct area and are responsible for keeping your fellow Republicans in your Precinct informed about Republican candidates, registering to vote, the voting process and other Republican issues.

The precinct leader is the true grassroots of politics.  It is the only Republican Party position elected by the public.  The main goal of a Precinct Leader is to lead and to motivate voters to elect Republican Candidates.

Ashley and Zip Visit

Ashley and Zip came for a short visit for the week-end.  Randy and her went golfing and then Ashley and I went and got pedicures.  It is always great to have her come and visit.

Mini-X

We are doing some major excavation in our backyard.  Holden and Keagan are helping their dad with the mini-X.  Both boys love big machinery.

Jaxon starting Bees

Jaxon got Honey Bees from Paul Wiemer and started his own hives out in our back yard. We should have great honey by the end of the summer.  Those boys are still doing interesting projects.

Keagan and Holden- Our Year in Writing

Randy's Birthday- 63 Years Old

Same day as Mother's Day.  We had the Landon Family out for dinner to help us celebrate.  The grand kids loved watching grandpa blow out his candles.  

Mother's Day

 It was a great Mothers Day.  The Hay's Family send me this book on Oregon and the boys made me this card that is an accordion.  They said to stretch it around you for a big hug.

 The Landon Family gave me this potted plant that can go outside as soon as it gets warm enough.  Raquel made this Mothers Day card box.  So cute.

 The Barney Family and Ashley sent me a Sage Day Spa gift certificate.  Lily and June  sent a hand and foot print card.

I was so excited, Randy gave me this hanger for in the garage for the hose, plus a great book from Harriett Uchtdorf.  It is so good to have such a wonderful family.

The Club gave me this wonderful book on Idaho and many of the club women signed in the book.  What a great treasurer.  Maurie Barton, State President gave me this flower.  It was a great meeting.  The 2 years serving were a great experience.  I got to know a lot of the women better and it was good to serve on the different committees.
