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!)

You're so AMAZING mother! Glad to see some pictures grandma. You may not think so, but some of us who aren't around appreciate an update once in awhile. It is good to see pictures of ya and we miss ya!
It's AMAZING what you can do when someone leaves all their pictures on their camera card...and then shares it with others! Glad you have a new post!
THANKS!! THANKS!! THANKS!! I think I'll let you continue to do all my posts -- you did a great job!! There were a couple of misspellings -- i.e. Karel and Deaun. The group picture with Deaun's family was taken when she went to the Temple for her own endowment on Dec. 12, 2009 (her parent's wedding anniversary).
I guess you know that post would have taken me most of a day to do -- now you know why it takes me so long to get new posts up.
By the way, I'd hoped you would do a new heading picture -- post mission type. HA!
Anyway, THANKS AGAIN!! I loved it -- and I love you!!!
You do have an AMAZING daughter. I appreciate the updates. You sure have a beautiful family.
I would have to agree you guys are AMAZING and have amazing children. It was good to see some pictures of you, we had no idea you had been so busy. I hope we can be that busy when Bob turns 80. It was good to see you at Church sunday.
You are AMAZING Kristi, maybe you can do all of our blogs.I really like it though. I have gotten out of the habit of looking at the blogs but think I will start again.
Hurray! your blog is up and running again, even if it is done by your daughter. We knew you'd been on a cruise but we didn't realize that you were able to go back to your mission. How absolutely wonderful. You have a great family. What ever you do it is AMAZING!
