CUTE Kota

Until we get to adopt a baby of our own, our nephew Kota

does a great job at filling the void:) He loves his Uncle Lance! But who wouldn't?!

Happy Mother's Day!

As many of you know, I've decided to try my hand at gArdEniNg this year! Last week Lance and I cleared out some of our raspberry bushes, (don't worry, we still have approximately 20+ feet of bushes left) and I have now gathered seeds for corn (thanks, Luke:), carrots, and peas. I also bought bell pepper plants at the Co-op on Saturday, but the lady didn't know what color they'll be. That's fine; I like suprises. And Karen lent me two 'wall-o-waters' for my tomatos. On Mother's Day Lance suprised me with the gifts pictured above: spade, mini-rake, and gardening gloves, along with a nice card saying he's excited for me to become a mom. Just what I needed--what a wonderful husband! Love you, Lance!

Busy Saturday...

We started out today going to Courtney's Volleyball Tournament, (Courtney did really well, it was fun seeing her and McKenzie play together:), then we went to the airport to see my Mother, she flew in at 2:40 this afternoon from Portland, then headed home for a quick nap. At 5:00 the nieces' Dance Recital started in Rexburg at the College. It was fun seeing the girls dancing with nervous smiles. (We took pictures, but they were blurry and pretty far away.) I also got to see many girls dance who ride on my school bus! We had to leave before the finale because we needed dog food for Kate, and had to get back to watch Supercross Live in Las Vegas...still going on as I type. I guess it's a good thing our church doesn't start until 1:00 now, because I don't know if we would make it by 9:00, considering it's already past eleven and we're still not home!

Courtney's Volleyball Game!

Trying out the tandem, thanks Aaron & Misa!
