Our First Blog!!!

Ok, I am finally surrendering to the world of blogging.  I have been blog stalking all of you for a while now, so it's time to start my own.  No promises that I'll be very good at keeping it updated, but we'll see how it goes.  Thanks to my sister-in-law Kami, I am starting to get this figured out.
We've had a busy month, so here are a few of the highlights.  The most exciting thing was my dad coming home from Iraq!  He has been over there since November and we are so glad to have him back home.

Grandpa Craig home at the airport.


Then we had Jackson's pre-school graduation.  He did a great job as the troll in Three Billy Goats Gruff!  I can't believe he will be going to Kindergarten next year.  I will be that mom crying on the corner as he gets on the school bus.  He's really excited and keeps asking when it's going to start.

Then we made a trip to the cabin in Island Park with all of the cousins.  The weather didn't cooperate with our plans, but we did get out for a short walk to the river in between snow storms!  Can you believe snow in June?  It was fun just to see everyone and the kids can't get enough of each other.  Kyle and my dad did get in a little fishing but the fish weren't too interested.

All of the cousins with my mom and Kelli.  Natalie and I were the photographers.

A Favorite Mother's Day picture.  Kyle was the photographer.  
I'll get a picture of him on here one of these days if he'll let me.

And in the middle of all of that, Kyle had his 31st birthday and we had our 9th wedding anniversary!  I can't believe how fast time flies.  I still have a couple of months left of being in my 20's, so I'm trying to rub that in Kyle's face as much as I can!
