A little update...by Kristi

Well...I will just start by saying...this post is done entirely by our AMAZING daughter, Kristi, so...keep that in mind as you read!

In March, we celebrated Dad's 80th Birthday!!  It was fun to go to the church and have lots of friends and family come to celebrate with us.  Ray was the hit of the party...and he doesn't look a day over 79!!
Happy Birthday, Dad!!





In April we took a little trip down to Arizona, with Linda, Gary, and Karyl Lee...to visit our sister, Marie and her family.  It was a great get-together and a nice reunion of sisters.  

Karyl Lee, Donna, Karel, Marie and Linda


Then we were supposed to go to the airport the first part of April to pick Kristi up from her visit to Jaron's house, but what we thought was just a little jaunt turned into a WINTERY journey!!  It was snowing SO HARD!  This is what we ended up with by the next morning!

Then the end of April...we left on a cruise with once again, our AMAZING daughter, Kristi and her husband, Brent 
for the Southern Carribean.
We visited lots of islands...

It was great to be back in Barbados and get to see the old sites again!

We had the best time with Kristi and Brent...seeing the country.


Kristi didn't know she was in the wrong bathroom!!





We were also able to stop in Orlando on our way home, to see Tanessa and Jake and the little girls.  Addi posing in her new little Carribean Outfit!!


While we were gone...Clint and Katie had their baby, and we were able to run up to Pocatello to see the new little guy!  Linkoln Paul Simonson.
And of course, Corgin...in his new little suit...so cute!

Besides all of the family things...we have gone on a few little side trips...to St. George to a Mission Reunion and down to Provo for Deaun's 80th Birthday Bash...we keep pretty busy between working at the Bountiful Temple, getting our yard back in shape, and doing family things! 
 This picture was taken with Deaun's family after she went to the Temple in December.
We attended the baby blessing of Clint's new little son, Linkoln just this last Sunday and were able to go down and spend some time with them, Kristi and Brent, and Kristin.  
Then had to rush back home for other responsibilities!

Kristin was able to drive down from Rexburg to see the new baby.
So, this is just a few of the things we have been up to. 
 (And the only ones our AMAZING daughter, Kristi had some pictures for!)

(So...here you go Mom...it only took me 10 minutes or so...and if you don't like it, you can erase it and start over!!  haha....I love you!)
