May and June updates

I want to have at least one post this month... So here is a bunch of pictures...

I had a birthday (shout hooray!)

Emily gave me lots of good things for our house

And of course, who doesn't need a dagger?

Aaron gave me a new ironing board and Jenny gave me a new clothes drying rack.  It was a good haul.

My coworkers sometimes give me food to give to the goats.  Susan especially likes to give goat offerings so I took a picture of Spots begging for the grapes.

They love grapes!  Tulip says give them to me now!

I also took a couple videos but they were just for Susan to enjoy.

I passed my California PE tests!  BOTH on the first try! *mic drop*

Got my fingerprints taken and now I just have to wait for them to get to CA and they process them. Apparently it can takes months.  Sigh.

The dogs like to get into the front seat while I'm in the library... are not even ashamed when I get back.

For Memorial Weekend we went and looked at some graves Sunday at the Salt Lake City.

We found Gage's relatives.. he kinda looks like them, huh?

Jared and Amy posing.

We also found some of Dad's too... again.

The wives were listed on the back.

For actual Memorial Day we went over to participate in the little ceremony they hold at the Bluffdale cemetery.

Very nice... short and sweet.

Then Aaron had a birthday!

Shout Hooray!

Alot of the presents didn't come in time for him to open so he had to open pictures... of course, then it was the birthday that just kept giving!

Mom and her sisters came by before they went to a cousins reunion there in SLC.  Then Mom spent some days with us.

Aaron taught Mom how to play his new game.

Its fun to make the Panda's eat bamboo.

Jared Amy and Gage (JAG) went camping one weekend and had smores... so I wanted some too!  But I'm too lazy to build a fire (Emily was late home from work and she's our fire starter) so we did the next best thing...

S'mores over the Stove!  Its so good with the chocolate melted in the toaster oven so the graham cracker gets nice and crispy... Emily likes nutella on one side and peanut butter on the other.

The dogs thought they should have some too but Emily said no...

I took some video one evening of the baby goats.. they are getting so big.

They were clowning around a bit until I came out there... and they are more wild in the mornings..


Jared and Aaron rolled these stumps out for them but nobody has tried (that I've seen) to get to the top.



And then Jared had a birthday, shout hooray! We had gone out to eat so his "cake" was a hamburger bun..


He got presents but I didn't take any pictures of that.


Last Sunday as we ate desert together with Jenny and family, Angela, Mom and Dad, and Alec and Jalyn, I was looking around for presents to wrap... what with the birthdays, fathers day, and closing day we sure had a bunch of parties!

This weekend JAG are moving out... but don't worry, they will be  back to celebrate the 4th with us :)

So excited for the Family Reunion! next week!
