High privilege...

That's it for me...


Mark, Tiffani, Cash, Colby, and Grey went to Goblin Valley for a church campout. So Grahm and I went to the Museum of Ancient Life. He asked me a few weeks ago if we could go to the museum sometime. He still really like dinosaurs! I have been to the museum with the other grands but not Grahm. It was the best afternoon. 











Since this exhibit features ancient creatures that were found in the water, Grahm pretended to hold his breath!





When Grahm wants to be finished with an activity, he will say, "That's it for me." He usually means he has had a good time and is ready to do something else. We definetly had a good time. Grahm always says thank you and is a delight.

Grahm and Grizzly also got to sleepover. The good times roll on!



Grahm was making a pillow fort and said, "Let me check my inventory."

Grahm went on to explain what it means to do the right thing for the wrong reason. He explained it very well, then he said, "This is a good conversation."



Grizz and his little green friend.


Silly string and the gnome is going down! 



Keeping it cool with a popsicle and a fan!



Grandpa and Grahm having some water balloon fun. Grahm used a big red ball as a shield. He said, "We are having all the fun."





Then Grandpa brought out the super soaker. Grahm and Grandpa enjoyed every minute of the water fun!





I was putting some things in the car and Grizz jumped in, he was not about to get out. He had fun at Grandma's but was ready to head on home. I love this little brown dog and our Grahmy Bear so much.

That's it for me!


Hurry back!

Counsel with the Lord...

“Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day” (Alma 37:37)

A good week...



Grey and Colby decorated bags for their piano music.


Tiffani went to Hawaii with her mom and sister for a glorious week. Mark, Grandpa, and I tagged team to get the boys to school, piano lessons with me, and other activities. We managed pretty well while she was gone and as always, I was very thankful to be with my grandsons for a few extra days. Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm were so helpful, well behaved, and we had a good time. 

Grey got a Glow Note from his teacher. His teacher was proud of him and so am I! 

"Grey is a great, quiet worker. He has done so well at getting his work done on time, and following directions."


Grahm's turn to decorate his piano bag.




Grahm took this selfie and then said," I got my dimple."



Grahm patiently waiting for Colby and Grey to be finished with school.


Grahm wanted to look out the sun roof while we waited. He waved at the all the cars passing by and the wind blew up his shirt! He's the cutest. 


Chili supper!





Grahm is such a good helper!



Grahm had a 100th day celebration at school. He was proud of the necklace that he made with about 100 fruit loops!







Mark treated us all to sushi and some of us had a difficult time waiting for it to come!





Colby and Grahm slept over one night and Grey and Grahm the next night. Cash had a church activity.


Grahm woke up with a deep, barking cough. He and Colby thought is sounded funny and it made them laugh. Grahm said, "I've never had a sickness like this." It sounded a bit like croup. I started the humidifier and thankfully he was feeling better pretty fast.










Toilet Man!




Colby mentioned he wanted a haircut. He looked at several styles on my phone and Mark said it would be okay to take him for a haircut. He looks so handsome. As a side note, Colby gave his first talk in sacrament meeting today. It was Mother's Day and he shared some of Tiffani's wonderful qualities, it was a great talk. He spoke confidently and with feeling. I was very proud of him.


And Grandpa got most of the garden planted. We have so much to be grateful for. It really was a good week!
