Visiting the Family

On May 14th, I went to Archer (Rexburg) to
the funeral of my cousin's husband. It was a very
nice funeral and I'm glad I went. Here's a picture
of cute Grandpa Myers and my uncle Jerry and
aunt Marg Hansen. Also my little mom with three
of her sisters, Lola, Margaret and Grace.

Just wanted to see if I could figure out how to put a picture on here.

Memorial Day

I just got back from driving out to the cemetery for the second time today. I'm trying to figure out who it is who puts some flowers on Dad's grave every year and I missed him/her again this year. They did it sometime between 4 and 8. It's so nice of someone - they've done it for 16 years now! Anneke and Tom brought some pretty yellow ones yesterday. I wish I had my camera while I was out there as the sun was starting to go down. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! It actually was just a beautiful evening and I had a fun drive around Franklin. I live in a nice little town. I know it's a holiday tomorrow, but it still seems weird not to have to be thinking about planning something for school. Have a great Memorial Day, everyone.

Let the yardwork begin!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!

I'm off to play.

I'm going to Bear Lake next Tues. - Thurs. with my "teacher friends". We are all excited and ready for a break.

1/2 DAY OF SCHOOL LEFT!

It's amazing how excited I am, but at the same time kind of sad. I've had a good class and they are cute kids and I'll miss them. And the summer goes by so quickly, we might as well stay in school. My biggest goal this summer is to do something with my yard, but at this point it totally overwhelms me just to look at it. I don't really know where to start. I came home from school with a bad headache and went to bed early, but couldn't hold still and relax, so I got up to play on the computer. :)

Happy Mom

Thank you to my sweet family for the fun Mother's Day weekend. First of all, Brad and Andrea came up Friday night and they are always good for lots of laughs and good times. Andrea had made me the CUTEST, COOLEST quilt. Someday when I learn how and have the right cord for my camera, I'll post a picture of it. Maybe Andrea will put a picture on her blog. :) They also gave me a new "duster". They call it a mu-mu, but that's not really what it is. On Saturday morning Amy and Sam started on their cross-country journey and it was fun to "follow" them for 3 days. They made it safely to Virginia Beach, and we're all thankful for that. What a great adventure for them! Saturday afternoon Tom and Anneke and Anna, Abbie and Kate came up. They gave me a bracelet, lotion and a new cool black "ladder" shelf. It looks so great in my living room. They also took me out to dinner with Tom's mom and dad, Andrea and Brad and the girls. Ammon left me a sweet message that made me cry, and I talked to Andy Sunday night. He and Sarah had spent the weekend with her parents and I can't remember where that is - somewhere in the middle of Utah. Aaron called me this evening, so I've talked to all the kids and I love that. Cause I love all of them. And last night, Makenna and Paige called and sang Happy Birthday to me. So much fun. I'm a lucky mom/grandma.

YAHOO!!! 6 1/2 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT. And actually, I'm going to have a substitute tomorrow. So really for me there's only 5 1/2 days of school left. Crazy. I knew this year would go fast and it sure has. I've had a good class. Hyper, but good.

How are YOU doing?

I don't know what's up with me, but I've gained 2 1/2 pounds since we started the Bayles Family Biggest Loser contest a couple of weeks ago! I hope everyone else is doing better. At this point, my money's on Aaron. He really wants some new golf clubs. Andrea said maybe I'm afraid of being hungry - I think she's right. That makes sense to me. It couldn't just be the fact that I like to eat. So what is there to eat before I go to bed? Hmmm. Let's see. No - I'm going to resist. Be proud. Do good, Joyce. You Can Do It!!!

New Countdown

10 1/2 days of school left!

Beautiful Rexburg Temple

Sisters in White

The Franklin Stake had Sisters in White today. It was a special temple session for all of the sisters in the stake. It was very nice and was well attended and I'm glad I went. But Logan is crazy busy. I think it was USU graduation yesterday or maybe today.

13 1/2 days of school left!!!!!

Can someone tell me how to get a music playlist onto my blog? I set up a playlist but don't know how to move it here.

Can you believe that I am figuring out how to do this? Of course I will be asking you girls for help though. I don't know how to get pictures on here, but maybe next weekend Brad and Andrea can help me. This will be fun!
