Having a bit more fun

Uncle Roo helped Shad go off the jump.
 

Steph with her Grandma Niederhauser

We bought this at the DI for Shad to ride at our townhouse.

I took these two sillies in my car to the Treehouse Museum.



They thought they were pretty cool driving the fire truck.

Lily, Olivia and Brigham on the train

Jack, Logan and James rode the train, too.

Mitt liked to play with the train sets

Maria and Shad

Shad would have been content if I pitched the ball to him all day long.  He is such a good little ball player for only being two years old.

Alex gave Dave tickets to the Doobie Brothers concert for an early Father's Day present.  Lucky me, I got to go, too.

We all went to Zeppe's one day.


Dave and I took Olivia on her birthday date.  She chose Del Taco for dinner.



Then she picked out her present.


Bottom bumps for the birthday girl


She had some friends over for a little party.


We had a girls lunch at The Blue Lemon.

Family Fun

It was so fun to spend time with Shad.  I will sure miss him when they move to New York.
 




Riding his Great Grandpa Grose's "four wheeler"


We rode the Ogden River Parkway with Steph and Shad


 
 


One Sunday evening we all hung out on Ash and Jud's driveway.  These two sisters are so darn adorable.

Shad and Liv had so much fun together.

This Brigham of ours melts my heart.


Finally - a photo with all of out grandkids.


The whole fam damily.


A day at the splash pad

Since Steph and Shad were visiting for a few days before they moved to New York we tried to do a few fun things with them.
 
All of my daughters and grandchildren and I went to the splash pad in Harrisville one day.
 






 
 
 















May 2015

We spent Mother's Day at Jeff and Fran's house.  Bryson just got home from his mission and spoke in their ward.  Then we had dinner there afterwards.
 
Love my beautiful Mum.
 
 
The mothers who were there that day.


Then we picked up the Mason boys from Kathy and Terry.  Ash and Jud went to Washington DC and we split the babysitting with Jud's parents.


 




I watched Mitt one day at his house.  All of my grandkids are book lovers.


We went to Mitt's First Birthday party.  He is such a sweet little guy.  At first, he wasn't sure if he liked his cake or not.  But after a few messy bites, he seemed to enjoy it.

Olivia and Logan graduated from Preschool.  We went to both of their graduation ceremonies.

Logan's graduation was held at Gramercy Elementary School.  This is the same school Dave attended back in his elementary school days.


That Saturday we ran the Ogden Half Marathon in the pouring rain.

We looked like drowned rats afterwards.  I messed up my knee and had to take 6 weeks off from running after this race. 


That afternoon we took Dave's dad to visit graves.
 
 
Then we went up to Logan to visit some of my family graves. 
 
I had to work on Memorial Day, but not until later in the morning.  So we took Alex to Village Inn early that morning.
 
The next day we had a final get together with our dear friends that we served with at the Rio Grande homeless branch.  We will miss the Stowers, Carrolls, and Garretts.  They were some of the best people we have ever known.
 
These two girls had fun in Ashley's backyard one day.

And these three boys . . .  The three amigos.

Another day out at Holly's, Olivia, Mitt and Brigham enjoyed the swings.

We got to go to some of the boys baseball games this month.  James got a base run off of this hit.
