Summer fun

Stake Hoe Down.  Good Food and line dancing.

Distinguished Young Women (formerly Junior Miss)

Thought I had posted the DYW pics.  Sorry.

 We were one of the first ones to arrive so they let me carry her things in to where parents are not allowed.

 This is where I left her. 

Opening number.

 Introducing them selves.

 Fitness routine.

 All 12 girls.

 Aubrey's group, she was number 7.

Aubrey's 17th birthday

 7:10 in the morning and we are starting Aubrey's birthday celebration. It is that time of year--the end of the school  year --Graduation day and nothing is normal at school.  I had to work, so having lunch together wouldn't work,  evening is totally sketchy, so breakfast it is.

 Crepes are on their way.....

...while Aubrey opens her presents.

 After having pizza at Pizza Stop for lunch, Aubrey and her friends came by the house for cake and ice cream.  Carrot cake was her choice this year.

Even Bailey joined the group. (It helped her boyfriend was out for Senior Day)  It really meant a lot to Aubrey to have the girls forget some differences and join together again. Almost like the good ol' days of middle school.

Easter weekend

 Saturday,  an Easter egg hunt was replaced with club volleyball from 8 am until 4:30 pm  /  the team won the silver bracket at a tournament in Idaho Falls

 Aubrey is not difficult as far as Easter candy.  Mini Cadbury eggs are all she wants.

 The yard is looking very springy.  These are flowers I can see from the kitchen window.  Little tulips and even smaller daffodils.

 Gotta love those "little purple pansies"

 Kendal came for a short visit.  Everyone fell asleep so.......

........I had to take a selfie.
