Hornes visit for Spring Break! 10-18 April 2015

Washington school break was two weeks after the Idaho kids spring break, so we were able to celebrate twice!  Laura and the kids arrived in time for Morgan's baptism and Eric came over mid-week.  We had fun on the trampoline, and Grandma Cindy had decided to open the pool early. We had to hope for good weather, as this is still early spring in Idaho.  We were lucky and had several days where the pool and hot tub were in high demand.  The cousins play so well together it is fun to see.

I had some kind of virus that week but made it through ok. Eric and I were able to go fishing in the Owyhee River, Eric caught a few and I enjoyed the water and canyon views.

Eric's Birthday dinner was at the Kyoto restaurant.  We all liked the show and the food is good too!

Graduation Day in Rexburg- 10 April 2015

Margaret Mary Lois Shaver has completed her classes at BYU-Idaho and will be off to Salt Lake City for an internship with Deseret Book event planning in May.  We were delighted to be in Rexburg for graduation.  We had a beautiful spring day with no wind and much sun, so we were happy for that.  It was still a bit cool but not bad at all.

We are proud of our graduate and glad she will be fairly close in Salt Lake for awhile.
