Happy Birthday Grandma Ruth

Ben's Grandma celebrated her 88th birthday.  She is so amazing, she's still going strong!  She puts up her own Christmas lights and mows her own lawn. She is something to aspire to!

Dolly

When I was little, my Dad bought a C.D. called New Country.  I loved listening to it, especially because of a song called, When I Think About Love, by Dolly Parton.  I've loved Dolly ever since. 
Ben surprised me with tickets to go see her. I just cried, and I'm not a crier.  It was such a great night, and since I know that Ben doesn't love Dolly like I do, he was a good man to take me.


 With the lighting, I couldn't get a good picture of her, but believe me, she looked amazing.

The Cabin 2016

We had a great time at the cabin this year! Ben's uncle has two cabins on lake Hebgen, they are so nice to share this great place with us.  We swam lots, ate lots, visited Yellowstone, went in town to get pizza, went to church, swam, and ate some more.  Luke and Abigail stayed with Larry and Sharla a few days longer than us, but the rest of us only stayed three days.

July Randoms 2016


 Logan, Luke, Fisher, and Porter got to have a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Dawson's.  They were spoiled with fun activities and endless junk food.  Luke was in heaven :)

 Ike shut himself into the hall closet and got into the swim bag... sunscreen everywhere!

 Ike usually crawls in our bed very early in the mornings... sometimes I'm sandwiched between Ike and Hailey.  I just keep telling Ben and myself that we'll miss these snuggles.

 Ike is a pro at climbing up to the candy cupboard at Grandma Sharla's.  Lola always follows Ike around waiting for crumbs to be dropped.

 We celebrated Sharla's birthday.

We're lucky to have this beautiful, sweet woman as a Grandma... and she definitely looks way younger than her years.
