Brooke and Grammie (& about 50 other first graders)  on the bus on the way to Idaho Botanical Gardens

I got to visit Boise, and sure had a great time, great food, great company, great bedtime "parties",  it was over too too soon.   Tired to download two videos, but after 8-9 attempts, I am moving on.   Thanks for the great visit, Howells!


The pink hat is Brooke, notice the toad in the pond. . . almost dead center



Brooke at Dance Recital, her mom did her performance make-up so well!

Elk



This morning about 5 dad took these pix from the back deck, the elk were grazing on their way to or from the river water, we see the herds of deer and elk in the fields along the road now.  They come thru our yard night and morning, I guess Spring is here!  (notice the morning fog, too)



The Power of Example

I see I haven't posted since January, the background of snowflakes is sadly still accurate for our weather. Where is Spring??





there is hope, found these peeking their heads out, before the deer ate them



got this from Kim for my birthday!!

Visited Montana in April, sweetest family!!

Weston taking a horse ride, with Gages's assistance.  Gage is a great 'big' brother!

So glad my grandchildren are being taught, and they make it look so fun!  I am so thankful for dedicated mothers.  This is Macy helping her mom prepare apples to dry in dehydrator.

Visited Robinsons and Jon in April, was wonderful!

Going to visit Howells soon, can't wait!
