We've had a busy and fun June!
It's watermelon season! Matt can't resist a good watermelon so we have these weekly this time of year. He got me a cool pineapple slicer tool for my birthday and found out it works great on watermelon!
I joined the 40's club this year! I'm growing up so fast! :)
Matt bought himself a fun new a"salt" rifle that shoots salt at bugs to kill them. He's enjoying it. Alissa took a cool picture of herself.
The end of the school year finally came - this is what school looked like for these elementary kiddos the past couple months. Weird school year and it doesn't sound like it will be back to normal next year.
This is my Primary Presidency - we had fun doing a drive-by ice cream activity for our Primary kids - we gave them a popsicle and a fun ice cream foam ball shooter toy. They loved it and it was good to see so many church friends after being isolated from them for so long.
Our dish towel was missing one night so Matt dried his hands on Alissa's shirt after he washed them - she returned the favor. A girl in our ward did a great fundraiser for a non-profit organization by making giant delicious cookies to sell - we happily helped her raise the needed funds!
Our next door neighbor couldn't resist playing with our kids any longer and brought over a ton of water balloons that they all loved throwing at each other one afternoon - 6 feet apart of course! ;)
Father's Day! Cameron made his dad a great breakfast in bed. These 6 people are my world. Love them all to pieces.
I got fancy with a yummy fruit pizza to celebrate this guy.
Right as we were preparing to go on a trip and needed clean clothes to pack - our dryer decided to die. Not cool. Luckily it was a sunny and breezy day so we rigged up a makeshift clothesline. Matt had it fixed the next day - phew!
I have weekly virtual work meetings and quite often my manager will pull up a screen for some training and there will be a picture of Matt! Always makes me smile. When we lived in Salt Lake, Matt was the poster child for the company - they went around taking lots of pictures of him working to put on their website. So fun. And, yes, I have a baby Ewok and dinosaurs on top of my computer screen! :)
Jacie REALLY wants my office to be turned into her bedroom so she has her own space. Until I don't need it as an office - she's pretty much out of luck. She found a way to have her own space anyway - complete with a sliding plastic door and all her favorite things inside so now I don't have to work alone!
Our first summer adventure arrived! We were able to go to Idaho for a week to spend time with my family - we haven't been able to attend the yearly reunion since we moved to Washington since our school year goes so far into June but this year it worked! We had a great time.
These are my 4 oldest sibling with our parents.
SO many cute kids and snuggly babies!
Here's the crowd on the first night ready to watch a slideshow on the side of the house that shows the fun from last year's reunion.
We actually got a picture of everyone that made it that first day. Fun crowd.
A main part of any Judy Reunion is to have a service day where we all help get things cleaned up and taken care of in the yard and on my parent's property to help them out.
The little kids gathered lots of little apples that fell off the trees and windows were washed.
The apple trees are great for climbing.
All 14 siblings take turns being in charge of meals - we were with Delene this year-easy peasy lunch.
LaDawn and Lane were in charge of the reunion this year - they did lots of fun carnival type games.
Lane loves corn hole!
Rachel was a human pinata - the smallest kids loved chasing after her to get some candy.
This kid is beyond cute.
Once all the reunion fun was over and the main crowd left - our family and Taletha still filled up the living room and we had a full crowd for home church on Sunday.
A trip to Idaho is not complete without haircuts from Bethia. We had a year's worth of growth and a big pile of hair.
The kids think it needs to be another tradition to not have a trip to Idaho without a walk to the pumice pits with Aunt Taletha. We showed them the joys of hiking around in the caves, too.
The following pictures are just fun collages of all the things we did.
Our 3 youngest all have the same stuffed animal. He's super cute and squishable.
My nephew Oliver has gone through heart surgery this month - he's the toughest little dolly.
And we got a cute new nephew on Matt's side of the family this month - Hooray!
And the month ends...with a thistle. I'm pretty proud of that cool picture!
Our adventures continued in July - stay tuned!
