YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

 Getting ready for "Old Faithful"

Patiently.... 

 "OLD FAITHFUL"

BEAUTIFUL WATERFALL 
 OUR CAMPSITE...
I am not much of a camper but this is the perfect place to get to know your grandchildren..We had tons of together time and really enjoyed all the long walks/climbs/bathroom trips, cooking out together, eating out together...I must admit my trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night were a little scary....The guy in the tent by the bathroom snored and it sounded just like a bear...and besides the fact that bears could be there lurking around anywhere...

 AND WE DID SEE A BEAR....actual picture taken by Carrie

 Sorry, Kaydree.....grandma needed a shower...this is our bed and breakfast our final night in Yellowstone...it is just off the Northeast border, Cook County, Montana...it was so fun...and somewhat rustic...

 Thanks to Ryan, Carrie, Kaydree, Carver, Elsie and Ava for letting us crash their outdoor experience...we so enjoyed our time with you....before you move all the way to Holland...next update with these guys will be a European tour...

and on our way out we saw another bear....

Idaho Fun...

 Operation makeover the Scrapbook Room...

Before picture

 In February Ansley had a great idea to have to her husband TJ do a makeover in my scrapbook room, well that's all it took for me, from that point on I was discovering how much it would cost, etc, I even started saving money...It was so much fun,  and in May when they came to visit after Spencer's graduation in Omaha, TJ, Ansley and I,( even helped a little; )did a makeover in my scrapbook room...I am so grateful to the Bunnells for all of their hard work, I especially loved having the grandkids underfoot...love Cohen and Ledger, it was such a joy to have them in town for a little over a week...and we got so much accomplished...They also power washed my house and windows...Wow... and what a beautiful room it is...everything at my fingertips...
 About every six months we have a fashion show at Christopher & Banks, and this time both of my girls were in town and took part, what a fun thing that was...

Graduation and Blessing Part II

 Party....the boys loved the gloves....ie: balloons...
 Official graduation, my favorite part...when it was all finished all the dental students had silly string and sprayed each other with it....funny...if Spencer would have done this in High School he would have been in big trouble but since he was getting a Doctor Degree, it was Okay...very funny...
 Ledgie loves grandpa's pop....
 The Priesthood...Dave Hawkes is missing...
 Spencer's good friend Zack and his wife Katie, Zack was also going to Dental School and had been with Spencer since freshman year at ISU...Each family has 3 sons, Zack and Katie had their little Maxwell blessed on the same day Crew was blessed.  Zack and Katie moved to the Provo area that day and Spencer and Nikki were on their way to San Francisco the next day...what a busy weekend it was...lots of fun and kinda sad to say goodbye to such good friends,,,Robert and I actually came to love all these friends also and will miss Omaha...good times...
 a kiss for Crew...
