Gaby's New Look

Last night Gaby decide to make a late trip to the bathroom. While in there Collin and I heard a loud crash and then Gaby came out with a huge bump over her eye. All we can figure is that there was still a little water on the floor by the toilet and she slipped and hit her head on the toilet. These pictures are from the day after. The swelling has come down a great deal. Isn't it a lovely shade of purple.

BYU Dinosaur Museum

So, BYU has a small building where they house fossils that students are working on. We decided for an afternoon to check it out. First off its FREE!! That is our favorite word. The kids got to watch some of the students working in the back room while they dusted and cleaned new bones that had come in. It just reaffirmed Garretts determination that he is going to BYU to study dinosaurs.

Oregon Surprise Trip



This last weekend Lerin and I flew to Oregon to surprise Jennifer for her birthday. It was awesome. We flew in Friday the 29th of May; early in the morning. Renn picked us up at the airport and then dropped us off at Char's house. Char is one of Jenn's really good friends and she is also Lerin's future sister - in -law. We got ready at Char's and then headed to the salon. At the salon they helped us get set up so we looked like we were getting facials. When Jenn walked in they had her sit right across from us to get her pedicure that Renn set up for her. Char then said the magic key phrase and Lerin and I popped up took our towels off our faces and yelled surprise!!!! It was great. Jenn sat there in silence. Jenn had absolutely no idea. Jenn thought that I was in Vegas visiting a friend, and she thought Lerin had to be in Boise for the weekend. We had a great time. I also got to see my nephews and neice; Chandler, Evan, and Elise. I hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving. I miss them so much. I love being an aunt and I adore my neice and nephews. Elise spent all weekend entertaining us and making us laugh. She is only 18 months. We had so much fun spending time with Jenn and her family it was hard to leave, but I missed Collin and the kids so much. Collin was great and kept the kids all weekend by himself. He is the best. He must of known that I needed this as much as Jenn needed to see us. I love my family so much I am glad that our friendships continue to get stronger over the years.

Idaho Falls Zoo

Memorial Weekend



































These are just some of the pictures from the cemetery. Some of the girl cousins: Joie, Emma, Gaby, Emily, Hailee, and Kennidee. Gaby and Kennidee ran around holding hands all day it was so cute. When one of them fell they wouldn't let go so they both ended up on the ground. The two little girl headstones are my two cousins who passed away. Summer would have been my age. We had a great time. After the cemetery's we had a BBQ in my aunt Shauna's backyard.

Fun at Grandpa Brutch's













































We were up in Idaho for a weekend and had a BBQ at Grandpa Brutch & Grandma Teresa's house. These are just some fun pictures of the kids jumping on the trampoline with Uncle Kent. Gaby loves Kent. It is hysterical. He doesn't know it, but she only wants to see him when we go. Keegan is the in the gray striped jacket; he is Russ and Devries. Brody is the little one with the balloon he is also Russ and Devs.
