I went from this....

To this



I needed a change and this definitely was it.

May has went by fast

Wow did May fly by. Ryan was gone for 10 days so I tried to stay busy while Ryan was gone. I thought that those ten days would never come and know that he has been home time have just flew by.

Memorial Weekend was our first weekend at Bear Lake it rained most of the weekend. We took the trailer over for the summer and when we got there it was pretty good weather. We were going to mow the lawn and then realized that we had no gas. We went to the Pickleville market for gas and they no longer have gas (I was told they haven't had gas for a couple of years, I didn't know). We ended up going clear over to Laketown to get gas I know it’s along way but it was a nice little drive. I managed to mow the lawn and only go rained on the last 5 minutes. On Sunday we made a drive over to Idaho to buy Lottery Tickets (I didn't win anything) it was a nice break for all the people over at the cabin. We were going to stop and get a shake but I forgot my coupon for 10% off at Merlin's so we headed back to the cabin. So on Monday on our way home we stopped at Merlin's and got a shake. I order a Strawberry Cheesecake shake and they were out of Cheesecake so I got Strawberry Marshmallow. It was pretty good.

On May 26th my mom, sister and I went to the Taylor Swift Concert. It was a lot of fun. I was a little disappointed because Kellie Pickler didn't perform. I was looking forward to seeing her again. My cousin won backstage passes to see Kellie Pickler and then didn't get to see her. She was really mad but it was made up when Taylor Swift came out at their terminal and sang "Hey Stephen" and then gave her daughter her bracelet and gave them hugs. She was really good in concert and I would go to her again. This summer we are going to a lot of concerts the next one we will be going to is George Straight then we are going to Toby Keith and then Keith Urban. I am really excited.

We had a BBQ with my grandparents for my birthday and Jordan's Graduation on Saturday. We had them over for hamburgers and hot dogs. Then we lit the Christmas tree on Fire. It was something my brother has wanted to do for a while and my mom told him that if he graduated she would let him burn it.

On Sunday we had another get together with my Grandpa Ballard and Elayne's Family as a going away party/birthday party/graduation party/fathers day party. We had a lot of fun. It’s not too often that we do a lot of stuff with that side of the family. My grandpa and Elayne left for Alaska on Wednesday June 3. I am really excited to go and see them in July. It will be here before we know it.

It was my birthday on June 1st. So Ryan & I took the day off work. We didn't do a lot but we raked the yard and I washed the vehicles. They looked really nice until it decided to rain on them this whole week. My Grandma took us to Coppermill. Again it was for my birthday and Jordan's graduation. Ryan & I rode the bike it and she brought balloons so I had to have my mom take them home and then we went over to get some flowers that she got for me and all my balloons (there were 2 bundles).

My little brother graduated from Mountain Crest on June 2nd (with help from my sister and mom). I can't believe he is old enough to graduate. I swear it was just last year that I was getting married and he was only 13 running around with the cousins. My mom had seen an announcement that was for someone else graduating and she wanted me to put something together for my brother. We went out and took some pictures on Saturday and had them printed the same day. So here it is.

Ryan’s family had a BBQ on Saturday the 6th. We had a lot of fun. The whole family was there and even Ryan’s aunt Twila and cousin Kinley. Ryan invited a friend from work (Jeremy and his family). The kids had so much fun running around. We had ribs & Dutch oven potatoes for dinner and then sat around the fire. It was a lot of fun.

We had a birthday party for my grandpa Johnson on Sunday. Because it was raining we had it at my mom's house. It was a lot of fun getting together with the family.
