Mother's Day, Memorial Day and a bit of Everyday

May and June have been full of fun family things. On Mother's day Ryan made a delicious blueberry pancake breakfast and  gave me a great new crock pot cookbook. We enjoyed going out to a movie the night before too, which hasn't happened for a while. I also got a nap after church and a beautiful drawing of a flower from my little sweetheart. She and my big sweet heart made my day a very special one. Father's Day was a similar for Ryan. I'm so grateful for all he does. Memorial Day was spent traditionally as we went with my family to the City of Mesa Cemetery to remember our loved ones and those who served our country so bravely.

On June 1st my brother in law Karl was married to a great gal, JaNel Grim. They are great together and we're so happy for them, and to have an awesome new sister in law! Ryan has been pretty busy helping his dad with remodeling the kitchen of the town house in Tempe where we lived as newly weds for over 2 years. Karl and JaNel now call it their home, and they'll have a nice, new kitchen to boot. I've finished 3 sewing projects that were left sitting for while in the last month. Hooray! I hope to get 4 more done in the next moth and post some pictures then. Meanwhile, here are some pictures to browse...

Thanks for the cozy coupe Johnson family! She wouldn't play with anything else for days.

Cup 'o crayons anyone?

The entertainment console is coming together!
