 Darin took Gavin to do a little fishing tonight until dark... they got home at 10:30, & Gavin was tired!

Greyson has discovered the cabinets... that he can open them & there are fun things inside to play with!

 We went to the cemetery this morning for a Memorial Day program & saw Darin's Uncle David & Uncle Carlos  Gavin's Great Grandma & Grandpa's grave (LaVeda & Clark Bishop). We stopped for lunch with Ben & Becky in Orem & let the kids play for a couple hours, then we had to head for home. Sadly, no pictures were taken in Utah today! We made it to Boise before sunset & stopped at a park to get some energy out before bedtime. We had a fun but quick weekend getaway!

 After church we drove out to Topaz mountain. Darin had remembered going as a little boy & finding little pieces of topaz all over. 35 years later, they may have all been found, because we had no luck finding any today. It was a beautiful afternoon for a drive though!

 Today was the grand opening of Delta's Great Basin Museum in its new location. Grandpa had a booth set up there with his books & paintings of the area, so we went to check it out. Very nice!

 It was crazy hair day at Gavin's school today! When Gav got home, we left for Delta for Memorial Day weekend to visit Grandma & Grandma Bishop. We stopped at McDonalds in Tremonton on the way, & Greyson discovered the joys of the Play Place for the first time. He was crawling through the tube, just laughing away!

Somehow this was the only picture taken today... of Ellie's attempt at refilling her cereal bowl.
Today was Gavin's last t-ball game of the season, & we only took a couple videos there!

We made 2 batches of blackberry freezer jam. Ellie was a big help!

 Another marker mishap, Gavin's rock shop (a steal at $1 a rock), & anticipating a 20 degree temperature drop for the rest of the week. Anyone from Arizona or Nevada want to come visit?

This is the way we braid her hair, braid her hair, braid her hair.
This is the way we braid her hair so early in the morning... (well, not that early).

We didn't get a Bountiful Basket all winter...
We've done a couple so far this spring & I've remembered how much I like it. Good stuff.

Ellie tried underwear today. I thought she was ready... maybe not.

 We stopped at the library after we dropped Gavin off at school. These two were very entertained. This was Ellie's first time on the computer there, & we even checked out some books!

A happy Mother's Day. I am so blessed to be a mom to these three fantastic kids!
I enjoyed a nice rest in the hammock, with this as my view:

It was Gavin's turn to be catcher today! He did a good job, though not his favorite position.

A sweet nest in the tree in our front yard. It even had a piece of plastic rope woven in. Ah spring!

 Enjoying a colorful dinner tonight--almost every color of the rainbow, as Gavin pointed out!: Quinoa with sweet potato & red bell pepper, asparagus, mango, strawberries & blueberries. They ate it up!
