June Summer Fun

We had Rachel over for a sleepover right after school got out. They made cake pops. 

We are working on "scriptures for snow cones." Because it's hard to remember to read together in the morning with people sleeping in and different lessons going, we reward ourselves with snow cones on Saturday if we read 5 times together that week. So far we've only missed hitting 5 once! 

Braden had a great baseball season. He had the best coach, Nate Edwards. They won almost all of their games. It was fun to go watch and see him have fun and improve. We have a friend named Andrew in our neighborhood and we went to a few of his games too. He and Braden had the same team name and number so we got a few pictures.  

We ventured up to East Canyon Reservoir to try out our new raft. It was a fun time. It was hard keeping Henry out of trouble though. 

We have a fun splash park close to our house that we love to go to. 

We love to go on family hikes whenever we can. This is my favorite place to go, the Bonneville Shoreline trail. 

Summer reading race in full swing. 

Dino park with Chante and Provo rec center with cousins. 

Happy Father's Day!

My favorite weekend of the summer so far was probably Heritage Days. We started the day with donuts and the parade, then watched some of the air show from the high school. We spent the rest of the day swimming and hanging out at the Johnsons. The firework show was great! 

 

School's Out & Livy's Birthday

I finished my 10th year of preschool! I can't believe it's been 10 years! Timmy and I had a fun 3 year old class this year. 

Clark, Braden and Susie finished kindergarten, 3rd and 5th grade. Olivia and I picked them up in the party bus. It wasn't much of a party because of the tears though! Clark was crying when I picked him up because he is scared of starting first grade. He wants to stay in half day kindergarten forever. Susie was crying because she said she will miss her friends and teachers over the summer. We dried our tears and got ice cream cones and had a water gun fight at the park. 

We celebrated Olivia's 26th birthday. We had a tea party and went hiking and made homemade chocolates and saw the new Top Gun movie. It was a fun weekend! 

 

Henry Turns One!

Our baby is one! It's so fun to watch him grow. He started walking at 11 months and we were shocked! He's definitely our quickest walker. He take 2 naps and sleeps through the night. He loves being outside and getting into everything. He dances to music. 

He loves spaghetti and strawberries and grapes and homemade bread and pizza! We had a fun pizza party for him. Paul's family drove up for the occasion and it was a great time. 

 

Easter

Here are some Easter and April photos. We dyed eggs and made deviled eggs. Paul had to work Easter weekend so we spent Easter at my mom's in Cedar. We had an Easter egg hunt and lots of yummy food. Each day during the Holy Week we read about Christ and the week leading up to His resurrection. I hope I can help my children to gain a testimony that Jesus Christ lives. Looking to Him and trying to be like Him is the greatest blessing of my life. 

I'm so grateful that because of Jesus Christ I can be with my family forever.
