I have a lot of news to catch up on. The last weeks have been very busy ones. I have to back up to April to announce the arrival of Daniel Nathan, son of Sam and Nate. He is a sweet, calm, and perfect baby.
Our next new little one surprised us with an early arrival a few days ago. Alexis Pepper, daughter of Valerie and Jeremy, is just beautiful and another perfect baby. Now we're anxious for the next one (Melissa and Kyle's) to arrive. It should be soon!
We had several family members who were graduates this year. James (in the blue shirt)graduated from his first year of preschool. He has grown in many ways through this experience, but still didn't want to wear his cap or hold his diploma.

Jenny and I hosted our book club closing social at my parents' home in May. We had a potluck luncheon out on the deck and then reviewed the cookbooks we made our recipes from. We had a small, but nice group attend

Danny received his MBA from the University of Utah. We are so proud of him! Congratulations!
Emilee received her Master's Degree in Organizational Development from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Such a great achievement--congratulations to her as well! We took a little vacation to Spokane for the occasion.
We spent a few great hours exploring the Riverwalk Park in Spokane. We viewed the falls, took a gondola ride, saw a parade with so many marching bands that we lost count, and rode on the fastest carousel I've ever been on in my life. Emilee's parents, grandparents, her sister Erin, and of course, Joel, joined Jim, Jenny, and I on our trip. We were able to find Jim's childhood home while we were there and then came home through Boise to visit with his Aunt Glennis and my Aunt Virginia and Uncle Bill.
