Charlotte Louise Mann

On June 17, little Miss Charlotte joined the family.  Jacob and Becca's third child, second daughter.

Grand kids in town

Fourth of July weekend the Musingi's came down to play.  They had not been down here in months because of all their illneses and surgeries.

We went to a trampoline place and bounced all over.  Went to Cowbunga and got wet on the water slides.  Went to the movie.  The big kids saw Jurassic World.  The little kids saw The Cokeville Miracle.  I went with the little kids.

We did fireworks in our driveway and went to Riverton City's fireworks. 

I do try to take pictures of the boys, but they just make faces and don't want their pictures taken.  We had a great weekend and ran and played.

Wood Boxes for graduating Laurels

This is the fourth year I have done boxes for graduating Laurel's in our ward.  Around April I started getting questions about whether I was going to do boxes again.

I invited all the previous YW leaders or anyone in the ward that wants to write a note to the graduating Laurel's and we put it in their box.

We then present them in Relief Society after their Mother's do a spot light on their daughter.  It's a way to help with the transition to Relief Society.

We had 7 girls graduating this year, so I did 15 boxes, just so I could have some extra boxes to give for special occassions.

Chalk Art Festival - downtown at Gateway

A few years ago, we took grand kids downtown to the Chalk Art Festival at the Gateway.  Some awesome artists.

Spring Flowers

In front of our house we have two huge flower beds.  One was there when we moved in.  The other one we built to match the original flower bed. 

We like to play petunia's in them for lots of colors and once they fill in, no weeding.

We have had alot of rain in May.  I usually like to play them around Mother's Day.  I have had to do some planting in between all the rain storms.

Finally got them done a couple weeks ago and it has rained every day since.  We have not watered the grass or the flowers for over 3 weeks.

Shelves at Jacob and Becca's

So this past weekend we went to Vernal to build some shelves in Jacob and Becca's house.

They have a large storage room down stairs and needed places to store "stuff".  We did shelves along a 14 foot wall and along an 11 foot wall.  Floor to ceiling.  These are made out of 2 x 4's and OSB on the shelves.  Very strong and sturdy.

Monday night we got a picture from Jacob.  Making use of the shelves already!!  The shelves look great fill up with lots of stuff!!

Davis

So a few weeks ago, Jacob and Becca were down for a doctor's appointment for Bailey.  We had Bailey and Davis in the evening so Jacob and Becca could go out for a while.  While eating dinner, someone asked Bailey what she wanted to do that night.  Her answer was priceless!!  "I don't know, let's see what Grandpa has planned". 

We hit Barnes and Noble to get some books and then we were headed to Target for toys.  Davis wanted some trucks.  He is in the phase of needing more and more trucks.

When we hit Barnes and Noble, he did  both things at the same time.  His books were trucks and tractors.  Gotta love the grand kids!!!

Finished the evening watching a movie downstairs and holding both kids in rocking chair.  Yep, this being a grandma is pretty cool!!
