Toy Story 5

 Owen & Kylee are in town for a wedding this weekend, so we went out to ice cream last night with them.  Again Davis was supposed to hang out with us, but he helped a friend move a client up to Oregon.  Gator is staying at his place watching Jake & Joe.  This morning we went and picked her up at Davis's and went to go see Toy Story 5.  It was a cute movie.  I mean 5 movies is a lot of the same thing, but they are still doing a good job with the characters.  And Brady & Zoie are always fun to go to a movie with.  It was a cool, rainy weekend.  Always my favorite weather, but we tried to have Jake come over to play with Steele and Willow.  It was on the cooler side, but they didn't care, they still played in the water and had fun running around in the backyard.  Gator took Brady & Zoie home on her way back to Davis's.  We have a busy day tomorrow with going to 2 wards so it is time to go to bed.  

The wedding Owen & Kylee went to was a friend from high school.  Owen said it was great to see his 2 favorite football coaches.  Boss and Coach P have had the biggest impact on him in football and life out of all the coaches he had in his football career.

Kylee's Birthday

We went up to Idaho today for Kylee's birthday.  We've been wanting to go to Driggs to a Butterfly Pavilion so we went today.  I thought it was really pretty.  I know Owen wasn't into it, and Gator went along, but Kylee and I liked it.  Afterwards we went to dinner and got yummy burgers then ice cream.  The drive home we got a little rain, just enough to make the car dirty, but also brought a beautiful rainbow.  We saw the rainbow just as we were driving by the Brigham City temple.  Davis was supposed to go with us, but he ended up having a sick dog at home.

KPop Demon Hunters

 This movie has been Brady and Zoie's obsession for months now, so I figured it was time to go see it with them.  Layton Park has free movie Friday's during the summer and I knew this one would be entertaining with them.  Gator has been staying all week at Collin & Cheyenne's taking care of their dogs so we picked her up and went to the movie with Rachelle, Josh, & Eli.  It was actually an okay movie, it was more fun watching Brady & Zoie perform the whole thing by heart.

High School Graduate

 Today was the big day and now I have 3 children who are high school graduates and doing big adult things in their lives.  I went to Zoie's graduation this morning while Gator went to the elementary and junior high then we went to lunch, a doctors appointment, and then graduation.  Gator is amazing just like her brothers, and I couldn't be more proud.  A little sad, but even more proud and happy for all of them.  

Last night at Seminary graduation. 

Kanesville Elementary with Lilly and Lainee. 

Rocky Mountain Junior High with Averee. 

Just a little nostalgia late tonight.

Senior Week

 This week Gator just played with her friends.  They didn't have much of any school, and they probably wouldn't have gone anyway.  There were chalk fights, lake days, sunsets, bingo, movies, Senior Cotillion, and just a whole lot of end of Senior Year Fun!

Fun pictures

 We went to the 2 elementaries, the junior high, and the 2 high schools that Gator and Averee attended.  Gator wanted pictures and to do a video.  I just snapped the photos and wiped the tears.  

They have waited for this day all year when they both had their caps and gowns and could take pictures together.  A longhorn and a silverwolf best friends forever!

Grandbaby

 Owen & Kylee had an appointment today.  This is just from a little wand and iPad, but look at my cute grandbaby.  The doctor said everything looks great!  Owen said the baby was his kid because it was not sitting still, it was all over the place.  It is so amazing.

For Mother's Day

 We always hang out the Saturday before Mother's Day.  Davis, Gator, and I drove up to Idaho this year.  I didn't care what we did, I just wanted to hang out and the boys wanted to fish, so we went fishing and had a fire for tin foil dinners and smores.  We started at a spot on the river, but then we went down to American Falls Reservoir and had a fire on the beach.  Gator said Kylee's homemade marshmallows and graham crackers made the best smore's she has ever had.   Kylee is definitely the cook in the family.  We had such a good time just hanging out by the fire, that we didn't leave until after 11:00 last night.  We would've stayed longer, but the drive was rough as it was, Davis & Gator both fell asleep and that left me driving and munching on Starburst to stay awake.
