Good Things Afoot

Over the past few weeks my peonies have been a profusion of pink in my garden.

And 

 My number four eagle received his award on the 9th of May.  After almost 20 years of scouting my ribbon is finally full.  Bruce has been serving in some capacity with the YM for about 18 years and we figured out the other day that he's been camping over night 200+ times over the years.  It all went by so fast that all of those cold, wet campouts that I would complain about him going on, now seem but a trifle;)

This little cutie pie arrived on the 10th with his mom and dad to stay for the summer.  Jeff just finished his second year at Baylor Law and will be starting work soon in DC.  It's been so much fun having a baby in the house.  Especially when he laughs and expresses tons of personality.

I love being a grandma.

And speaking of Grandmas, Grandma D came to check out my baby girl who got all dolled up and went to Mormon Prom.   

She can't put the boy down.

"Do I have everything?"

 Couldn't resist making the comparison.

 Mikey went with his good friend Sydney.  They have known each other since they were 3. 

 MK went with her bud, Ryan.  

You would think that navy blue was the theme for the night.  

But there was a lot of pink too.

 MK and her BFF Olivia.

AND finally....

   Our son Tom popped the question to his girlfriend, Leslie, on the 11th.  She is awesome.  Laura met her on study abroad in London 2 years ago and at the time thought very highly of her. Laura tried to introduce the two of them.  He didn't like the idea of his sister setting him up with someone.  Well, obviously they met (without her help) and have been dating since September. She is studying accounting at the Y.  They are getting married on August 10th in the Provo Temple.  As with the twins, we find ourselves once again getting the better end of the deal.  I know you all want to see it:
