Cassie came home the night of Austin's 2nd birthday.
The kids are so fun! We always have a good time with them!
They are so funny.
We packed everything we could into the weekend! Dad went to Twin Falls for a picnic with his brothers and sisters. Spencer and Sara and their children went along. They had a great time! I went with Cassie to help her take pictures at Alison Patrick's wedding in their back yard. It was sure fun to have her home. She went motorcycling with her dad.



We were able to stop and see Heather and Aubrey in Pocatello. Barry wasn't home from Arizona yet the 1st time and working the 2nd - so we missed seeing him both times. Aubrey let me hold her! That's pretty rare! She is such a cutie! So much fun!

We were in Idaho Falls for Father's Day. We had the Zweifel Family picnic at Tautphus Park. I really appreciate Richard for the wonderful father and "papa" he is to our 6 grandchildren.
I stayed a few extra days to help Grandma Zweifel move into her new "digs" (as Jaime calls it.) I just have to say how much I appreciate my 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I am so grateful for how good we get along with each other. I love spending time with all of them! And I love their spouses!
It feels like the end of an era to have mom move. I am still trying to adjust - as I'm sure mom is, too. I try to encourage her as well as myself. I know it is the best thing for her and I hope she will fell like she fits in and will play nice with the other kids! I am very grateful for my mother and the example she is to me and the things she taught me!

Yesterday, we took our bikes and fish pole and got outta Dodge. Dad caught 22 crappie and 3 bluegill. We rode just a little. We saw deer, elk, pheasants, penguins - oh I mean pelicans, snakes and of course horses and cows.












I read my book, had a nap and found a mountain to climb and took pictures. Can any of you guess where we were? You've all been there!

Dad and I had our first event as grandparents! We went to Abby's dance recital. She was so adorable! We hope it is the first of many with all of our grandchildren! We felt honored to have been there to see one of our little princessess!

Ok! Here's the finished product! Thanks to all those who helped and all the rest of you for your love and support! It's so exciting to have sprinklers!

Spencer was a HUGE help!! He had to dig a 5 1/2 ' hole to find the water main. He said he will surely get a bigger chunk of the inheritance. However, Kendall said that 10 times nothing is still nothing. We shouldn't have told you all what we were doing and invited everyone to come up for the long Memorial Day Weekend and said we had a big surprise for you! Then after the sprinklers were done and the work was complete, we could have had a great old barbeque. But we'll have a great picinc in July!! Thanks for all your love and support. (from a distance)
