These last two months have been such a whirlwind of activities. The month of May I spent three out of the four weekends in the car between Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota and Utah.
So here are the highlights:
My friend Pam had an amazing spread at the "Wedding Viewing Party." We had a great time looking at all the hats, trying to figure out who all the British upity ups were and brunching on cucumber sandwiches, tartlets, croissants, champagne cupcakes and more.
We celebrated Grant's entrance into Teenager-hood with a fine meal at our local Japanese Habatchi Grill. (I can't believe that I am young enough to have a teenager!)
Trying out his new fly fishing rod. Better learn how to cook other-than-salmon fish!
He asked for a marble chocolate chip bundt cake.
And see how well I plan ahead for candles!
We took off for a week at Grandma & Grandpa's early morning on his birthday.
As part of his gift he got to choose our fast food lunch destination. Plenty to choose from when you hit a KFC/AW/Long John Silvers joint.
More birthday sweets that we shared with the whole extended family.
Grant asked for something with strawberries in it.
Playing outside in the beautiful spring weather.
My mom got a new bike for her birthday and she rides around town for the mail and such.
Couldn't resist this picturesque view of small town living at its finest!
We celebrated Mother's Day Brunch with grammie and mom's siblings.
The next week we drove to Wheatland to exchange Billie
for her week at G&G Daniel's place.
The boys were thrilled!
(But James missed her dearly by the end of the week)
We took the opportunity to drive up to Keystone SD on our way to pick up sister. It was only 30 minutes longer out of the way, and we got to stay at the most quaint lodge that our friends just acquired. Keystone is beautiful in the spring and we can't wait to go back for another visit.
The 4 cousins together at dinner with Bill's family.
We stayed at a nearby hotel so the kiddos could have some swim time.
James missed his sister and they went right back to their
fun,
imaginative
play time.
They are shown here sporting their sticker masks.

You have been busy and doing such fun things...as always. Love the pics of Grammie and your mom on her bike. Love to catch up with your blog! So glad you guys are loving Colorado.
I hope that you will come and visit our "quaint lodge" this year when you are dropping and picking up the kiddo's! I still have the large animal head looking for a home. ;-) *lol* Come over early in the season before we get busy --- and you will get a REALLY good deal. Like, um... you pay for gas to get here - and I will cover the room. REALLY! I miss you guys and want to see the boys and meet Billie. We have the fire pit -- Mt. White-trashmore is GONE. We can go see Mt. Rushmore and swim across the street! How can you pass that up?? COME TO US! *lol* Love you guys!!
