Blooming Irises

The irises in my front yard started
blooming a couple of weeks ago.
I noticed that their are a ton
of irises in this neighborhood!
Somebody loved them and went crazy!

How cute is Ashton!?
I wanted to take his picture with the
dandelion puff (I don't know what it called)
and this is the pose he gave me!

I can't talk about irises without playing this song. It's from one of my favorite bands, The Goo Goo Dolls. The song is called "Iris."

My grandma's baptism

On May 15th my Grandma June was going to get baptized....again. Apparently, the record of her baptism was lost so she had to do it again. I traveled with my sister Sarah and her family up to Snohomish while my brother Adam and his wife Ann rode his motorcycle up. (Poor Ann!) It was a quick trip, but it was so nice to see my grandma, Aunt Sandi and my dad and to also witness my grandma's baptism.

My dad and grandma.

My nephew Chase, brother Adam and my Aunt Sandi.
(can you believe she's turning 50?!) She looks AMAZING!

Anson Jr gets back on stage!

We had a ward fundraiser and Anson's band Three Hole Punch was asked to play during dinner. Instead of getting everyone together, Anson thought it was best to just have Josh, Blaine's son to play bass (who was also the bassist for Squish) and Anson Jr on drums. They never practiced before the event until that day and Anson Jr had a great time getting back on stage. I was happy to see him up there. He said he missed it and I hope he will want to do it more often.
