DeGOOYER DAY - YEAR 2024

Every year I blog about one of my favorite holidays: DeGooyer Day! And last Saturday we celebrated! I love spending time with our daughters and their husbands and Red Skittle. DeGooyer Day is significantly better with Cody, Skylar and our grandson involved. Check out our fun tradition:

The DeGooyer Gang
Scott - Me - Skittles - Cody - Skylar - Katia - Kiara
Cody up as high as he could go in this spot...

Isn't my grandson cute?!

Uncle Skylar collecting rocks to throw in the river with his nephew.
Cody reminded me of a spider monkey as he scaled the waterfall.
Every child should ride a plastic horse in the mall at least once in his life.

I'm so grateful we have this fun tradition! And you'll see another DeGooyer Day post every year as long as Scott and I have anything to do with it!

MAY DAY, STAR WARS DAY, AND "MY BIG BAD JOHN" TURNS 5

My grandmother taught me to always celebrate May Day with flowers! So I did! I sent Kiara Lea a plant... the flowers eventually grew and are beautiful, but for some reason I can't download the picture with the blooms. Katia received a bouquet. I love both of my daughters sooooo much! Happy May Day!
Kiara Lea and her green thumb...
Katia Rae and her happy colors.
Skylar and Katia came to Boise to celebrate Star Wars Day (May the 4th - be with you)! We went to see Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace in the theater. It was fun to spend a few hours with these great kids!
And I was trained to work as a poll worker for the upcoming elections. I'm kinda excited about it!
And Katia has a pretty defined baby bump! Can't wait to welcome our sweet little Burnzy!
Amy sent me this adorable picture of Starburst drinking with two straws! I totally am taking credit for that!
Skittles turned 5. (I have a couple of adorable pictures of the event, but, once again, my technology won't let me download the pictures for the blog.)
But I did get a few pictures of Skittles with "his" new puppy, Brin. She loves him and he loves her. Kiara says they are inseparable. "Just a boy and his dog!"
