The winter was COLD. We thought spring would never get here. But, I have a friend who loves to work in her yard and she helped me make a plan for our yard. We spent a lot of time this spring buying and planting new bushes, trees & flowers. It is really coming together.

In June, Quinn graduated from preschool and Emma graduated from Elementary school. Our stake youth did a pioneer reenactment trek. Abby found it to be very hard but very rewarding.

Our family vacation this year was a trip to Cedar Point in Ohio. It is an amusement park, water park & beach. We rented a great little cabin near the park and had a blast. Emma surprised us all by going on every roller coaster (and they have some of the world’s fastest and highest coasters). Best of all it was a time for us to be together and get some rest.
