June 2018

June brought my birthday which means we went on a hike!  Beautiful one.

 We also taught the kiddos how to play some baseball - very fun - and yes, that ball hit me.

 Jacie found the stuffed animal of her dreams - and the boys found some critter friends

 Alissa made some cute graduation caps for her friends - and a gorgeous sky one night.

 I got a new app to make picture collages and I love it!  Made some cute collages of our babies...

We had a happy Father's Day - these are my 6 favorite people in the entire world! ♥

 Our first Rain Gutter Regatta for Cub Scouts!

Our garden is thriving!

 School is finally out - on the first day of summer.  Made some cute treats for the kids that day.

 And Carly had her group of friends over for a last day of school celebration party at our house.

 All sorts of odd critters around here - 7 inch banana slugs and a mole that has been digging all sorts of tunnels and holes in our yard wreaking havoc.

 We weren't able to make it to my Judy Reunion in Idaho so I was happy to see some pictures - I especially loved this shot of all my brothers.

We all have bikes now!   We have loved going for family bike rides on beautiful trails.

 The three little kids have loved taking swimming lessons - they're learning the chicken airplane soldier stroke here.  And Carly has had a great time doing some fun "summer school" with the youngest kids - they do crafts, animal reports, have snack time and outdoor time - they love it.

 We love having random cook outs at our fire pit now.

 And we found a furry little monster at the store one night!

We're excited to see what summer adventures we come up with next!
