Brown family stay

The Brown family came at the end of June to hang with us while waiting to close on their house.  We played at the park and swam.

Emily and Leah had a good time playing house with Aaron.

We have been to splash pads.

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July.  We had family over to hang for lunch.

We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs.

We went to the park celebration.  Aaron and Leah got their face painted.  

Jessica made yummy cupcakes.

We also did slip and slide kickball.

It was great day all around.

Block Party!

We had a wicked storm during church last week.  Several trees and branches went down.

The storm knocked out power at the church.  We all made it safely home.  Our poor Bishop was home during this time with his wife who wasn't feeling well.  She ended up passing away.  Our hearts are broken and we miss her dearly.  We pray for everyone who loves and misses her.  Michael conducted her funeral on Saturday.  It was a lovely funeral.

Leah had a cousin sleep over.  They colored, played in the sprinkler, watched a movie and ate popcorn.  They built a little fort to sleep in and one to play in.  ha ha  They all had a great time.

We had  neighborhood block party.  We played games.

We mingled and met new neighbors.

Leah got her face painted.

Michael did balloon animals.

Aaron enjoyed looking at the fire and police cars.

One neighbor has a monarch butterfly enclosure.  She allowed us to go in and see them.  It was really neat.

The kids had a dance off.  Dallin ended up winning a gift card.  The Dad's had a hula hoop contest.  We had a great time!

First Week of Summer Break

We had a really busy first week.

We did find some time for an ice cream break.

I turned a year older.  Work friends got me flowers and cake.

I got many texts from family and friends for my Birthday.  I felt so loved.

Michael made me a delicious Blackout Chocolate cake that evening.

I even got a few gifts!

The boys have been fishing in our creek this summer.  Joshua started his accelerated math class for the next three weeks.  He was invited to do Algebra I.  He is liking it so far.

Dallin and Leah had Vex robotics camp in the mornings. They really enjoyed it.

This was Leah's first time and she did a great job.

Dallin has moved up to Middle School Robotics.  He enjoyed using the metal pieces and starting to code more.

Evan did the Bass Pro Shop fishing.

He had a great time with his  cousins.

Dallin did Twilight camp in the evening so I was all over the place this week, but two camps down and on to swim lessons.

Schools out!

Last day of school!  

Leah got Gold honor roll!

Evan got Math Mastermind!

He is so ready for first grade.  

Dallin got his Arrow of Light.  We are so proud of his work!

Joshua made the robotics team and made Honor band next year.  He is doing great on the trombone.  He loves it.  

We camped this past weekend.

We had a great time with friends!

The kid played all kinds of games.

We went swimming the next day and drove home.
