Mulan

Max built the Hodges girls a bookshelf and wanted to deliver it this week.  Luckily it was the same time Ethan was performing in the play at his school.  We went down Wednesday, helped Mandy with a few things, saw the play, and came home Thursday.  It was a short visit, but we always enjoy spending time with the Grand kids.  I was impressed with Ethan's play.  It was amazing what eighth graders could do.

My Sister-in-law, Nina Ricks, just moved from near Seattle to Rexburg.  We  went out to see her new home and visit.  Even with the boxes, we could  see how beautiful her new house is and enjoyed some fun conversation.  Susan was tending her grand-daughter Lily so it was an added bonus to see her.  She sure likes her Grandma. 
In the picture are Lily--Susan's Granddaughter, Susan Landon, my sister, Nina Ricks, and Laleene Ricks my  sister-in-laws. 

Where's the Snow??

We are having the strangest weather this year.  It's almost like living in St. George.  There is no snow on the ground and the sun shines everyday.  It's still a little cold--but it almost makes you want to go out and start working in the yard!! 

Elk Refuge

Part of the family went to Jackson Hole to the Elk Refuge. The weather was cold--but the shine was shinning and it was beautiful.

Summer Flowers

 The flowers and planted, weeded, and ready for some warm weather. 

This plant is so hardy--coming up each year in the middle of our patio. 

Wheeler Farm Visit

We took a wagon ride behind a tractor.

Hannah looks a little fancy for a farm visit!

Grace looks a little nervous.

Good mother duck--she wouldn't leave her nest for anything.

Saw some old farm machinery. 

It was a fun morning.  We were there to see Hannah's dance recital--but I didn't get any pictures of that.  We were not allowed to take pictures so I left my camera in the motel.
