What Happened to Spring?

As usual, we're way over due for a update. April and May was pretty eventful for us which is why, now that it's nearly June, we're wondering how we missed out on Spring.

Mid-April took us up to Utah -- a few days with Nicole, Jon and the girls. Brooklyn is always so excited to see us and keeps reminding us throughout our visit how happy she is that we are there. She and Jacey planned a birthday party for Grandpa complete with games and balloons.

We played Pin the Tail on the Donkey!

Grandpa's favorite: Banana Cream Pie!!

And he even blew out all the candles!!!

It's was hard to leave.

We then traveled up to Logan to spend a couple of days with Grandma & Grandpa Crosbie whom we hadn't seen since last June. Our next destination was down to Provo to participate in Jeff & Amy's graduation from Brigham Young University. We were privileged to be able to hear President Uchtdorf and Elder Russell M. Nelson at the Commencement on Thursday, and then ended up with numb bums after sitting in the Marriott Center for about 7 hours on Friday for Jeff & Amy's Convocations. It was a joyful occasion.

Proud Graduates

Gotta love those Cougars

And the grandparents were even given a graduation gift:

And lastly, it seems like every occasion we've had in Provo has included this:

(Look close -- those are BIG snowflakes!!!)

We then headed home to get ready for the next big event -- Steve's double hernia surgery. He wasn't looking forward to this and has been impatiently waiting to be able to resume yard work and house projects ever since (8 very long weeks). However, next Monday, he gets to undergo another surgery to repair the damage to his leg from his ATV accident last summer. Oh, by the way, there are no pictures of these events. :)

Our next great event was the birth of our new grandson on May 7th. Michael and I got to make a trip back to Cedar over Memorial weekend to see this handsome little dude.

Now we understand why April and May just whizzed by!
