Happenings in JUNE

Father's Day...June 15th
Happy Father's Day DADS!
We decided to skip out on church early this day and go for a Father's Day drive. We drove up to Darby Canyon which was where I was going to girls camp that week with the Young Women. We scouted out the camp ground which was still covered in snow a few weeks before and found it to be dry and beautiful! YEA! Then, we drove up to Jackson, WY and ate dinner there at a place called BUBBA's. How could you go wrong with a place called Bubba's. It was delicious! I still dream about the French fries there. It was a beautiful day! It was the perfect way to celebrate our Father and husband and what a great one HE is!! We ended the day at Jeff's moms home and went to visit Jeff's dads grave. We miss you DAD!


Girl's Camp 2008...June 17th


A couple of months ago, I was put in as the Young Woman's President of our Ward. It is overwhelming and extremely challenging, but the Lord has guided me and strengthened me along the way in more ways than I can express on the blog. One of my favorite events during the summer as a girl was when I would go to Girls' Camp. I did it for 6 years! Now as an adult, I still love it and have gone for the last 6 years..in Boise and now here! I don't love to camp, but I do love to hang with the girls. We headed out on the morning of the 17th and started the week. Both my counselors were there and my friend Ranay was put in to be the Camp Assistant which was extra super fun! My favorite memory was staying up giggling in the tent (even after all of the young girls were asleep) and watching my friend and counselor singing (and doing the motions...) to Deep and Wide. I tried to show my kids that song when I got home and told them it was such a great song and while I was singing it, they just had a blank looks on their faces. I guess that it is only funny at 11:00 p.m. around a campfire with bellies full of S'mores!

Mack's Birthday...June 18th


Mack is five this month. On the 18th, our baby turned five! He is obsessed with Indiana Jones right now and so pretty much everything about his birthday was Indiana Jones. He had his neighbor friend Josh come over, his cousins and his grandparents to celebrate with us. It's hard to believe that he's five. We have so much fun with him and hope that he is having the best little life that his parents can offer. We sure get a lot of JOY from having him in our family.






My FIVE favorite things that I LOVE about Mack:

1. His toothless grin as he sits cross legged on the stool in the morning across from me at the counter!
2. His kisses...3 each time. One on the lips, and then one on each cheek.
3. Watching him listen to daddy read him stories.
4. He still snuggles with me in bed in the mornings.
5. The funny things that he says.
Happy #5 Mack!



Summer is finally here! June 25th





It's hard to believe it after we were still having 30 degree weather just a couple of weeks ago-but the HOT weather is finally here and I have sworn to my children that I will take them to ROSS park 4 times this summer! This was our first day there and the kids especially loved the Lazy River. Bring on the sun, sunscreen, slushies, BBQ's, and fun summer events!
