Making the Trek Back Home

After Grangeville we went up to Spokane so we could visit my friend Meghan! She makes me laugh pretty hard.  We were trying to do a "prom pose."
 
 She just had this little angel, Kyler!
 I made this quilt for him!  I love to see babies on my quilts!
Maddy played with Kendall
 We went to a fun splash pad

 and Ian got to play with a baby!

 Kendall loves her baby brother, a little too much at times!


Meghan and her other babies

I love this girl! So happy we could spend some time together!
After Spokane we drove to Polson, Montana to see my friend Jacquie!  They leave Chicago during the summer and live in a house along Flathead Lake, while her husband works in Calgary, Canada which is about 5 hours away.

First I have to mention that we found out that Maddy is extremely allergic to cats.  I don't know if it is really that bad or she is just a kid and isn't very careful about not touching where the cat has been or itching her eyes and such.  She woke up at 4:30 in the morning on the day we were going to leave Meghan's having a coughing/sneezing/can't breathe attack.  We were already awake so we calmed her down, gave her some Benadryl and packed up the car and left Spokane. 
 aww the power of drugs!
Which meant that we got to Polson super early!  We had a relaxing day of play!
 Isn't it gorgeous!




 It was a little windy the day we were there, but Jacquie still took us out on her boat!  I rode on a tube with her girls, but it was a little scary with the waves!  We decided that sitting on the deck was better!

 Look how white I am compared to her!  Ha ha!
 
Then we made the trek home, three days of driving!  On our whole trip Rylan started out playing the state license game, Scott and I finished it on the way back, and we saw all of them except Hawaii! We found the majority at Yellowstone National Park.
 
Yeah for road trips! We were so glad to be home in our own beds, but sad that we had to say goodbye.

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
