April through June Happenings

I have stressed about detailed blogging... so here are pictures with brief info on what I am behind on posting! I spent a lot of time today transferring pics from my phone to the computer and realized I had a lot, so it will be long....sorry, but wanted to share my wonderful family and wonderful happenings!
For my birthday in April, we went to Chile's. Cameron and family joined us, pics are of me, Mary and the kids, and Collette and Kellsy's craziness.
May featured Mary's birthday at Cold Stone, a favorite spot to gather!
Bailee had a great dance program and looked so cute in her outfits. She won a best dance award (check out details on Mary's blog). Braden graduated from pre-school and did a fantastic program. I was glad to be able to attend both.I headed up to Idaho Falls on Friday, May 29, to help Sarah, Jef's wife, with the kids while she had surgery the first of June. I stopped in Pocatello and had lunch with Jeremy, Sarah, Isaak, and Mikelle and Chad and Bailey joined us, too. It was fun and so yummy! 1st pic is Bailey and Isaak, 2nd is Sarah and Mikelle, and 2rd is Chad and Bailey.I attended Logan, Jef and Sarah's oldest boy's guitar recital that Friday night and took a video with my camera, but the sound didn't work out. You can see him playing the guitar in my previous post. He did a great job and is taking after his father's superior guitar playing! Sarah hosted a party for Ella's first birthday that Sunday, May 31st. She got some really cute sunglasses and thought she was pretty cool wearing them. Jeremy and family and Chad and Bailey also came. It was fun with great food and a chance to have family together.
Isaak loves to blow kisses goodbye and Mikelle likes to smile for the camera!
I took some more shots of Ella and Cole that week as they played and one of Logan helping Ella down the slide at the park. I really enjoyed my stay and Sarah did fine with everything. In spite of the flu bug going through the house, I had fun and I was able to watch Logan play baseball, go to the library with them, play at the park, and watch a movie with Jef's gourmet popcorn in their media room.
Alisa's Ryker turned 1 on June 8th and we will celebrate that when us girls go up next week. Collette's bday was the 9th and we went to of course for Sushi but didn't take any pics. Jeremy and Sarah and kids came down the weekend of the 13th and we celebrated Isaak's 3rd birthday which was on the 12th and Saraha's, which is on the 28th. I didn't get any pics, it was a busy weekend with a funeral, 2 weddings, Jeremy was a best man for one of them. Logan's 9th bday is tomorrow, but won't be able to be there, so a big Happy Birthday, Logan. Malia turned 2 on the 18th and Bailee, 7, yesterday, the 23rd. I got Maila to pose with Grandma out their backyard at her bbq party. We had Gertie's Pizza for Bailee's bday last night and I took a few pics. Fun and food just go together with the family.
I told Braden to pose and he came up with this goofy face! Dale actually smiled for his pic with Collette and Kellsy!
Whew! I know this is a long blog, but just had to share my wonderful and beautiful family and all the fun we are having this summer!
