June 2013

Time to catch up on a bit of family journaling.

(Its been too long to remember many of the details but I'll give the pictures a try!)

June was a fun time:  school was out (1st, 5th, & 7th), we were in our new home, the sun was shining, and did I mention school was out?

We went to visit Grandpa & Grandma Locher's gravesite.  This year we didn't make it on Memorial Day so we came a few days later.  We love & miss you both!

While we were unpacking we found many once-treasured books for Kyralyn to discover.

What kind of tree is this?

I'd like to plant one.

Dallin stocked up for basketball tournaments

Kyralyn loves to have long play-dates with Livi

I made bread for the first time in probably 5 years.

Just like riding a bike.

Parker discovered a new medium & tool for his art.

A new favorite racing ride, Avalanche.

Snowcone breaks are the best

with cousins

One of the occasional afternoons spent at 7 Peaks

Just playing

and looking cute

Dallin solved our laundry sorting challenge

more playtime with cousins

Parker likes to hold the babies,

even when he's sleeping

(wink, wink)

a few card games with Kyralyn before the older kids took off for outside night games with cousins

 once in a while she lets me do her hair

 ready for scout camp,

with the essentials

 Kyralyn & I began our girls' week with a long bike ride on the trails

she spent a lot of her time dancing

(a favorite song this summer is "Call Me Maybe")

 every girls' week needs a salon and watermelon

and a flippy bar

and cupcake decorating

 and of course cleaning up

 and a little bit of sleep.

 Parker catching some sun at Pizmo beach, CA

every June needs at least one backyard campout

we washed the car but Parker can't stand the smell -
of the carwash, not the dirty van! 

 we love to get our country music on in summertime

 Parker bought a few smoke balls

 Lehi Round Up outdoor movie (Soul Surfer)

 with these fun friends

 they won a t-shirt for all of their dancing

 we did some bouncy-sliding at the Family BBQ

 Parker did more bouncing than sliding

 cornstarch & water:  an hour of fun

 Kyralyn was getting very excited for her birthday.
Especially when Nana & Papa's birthday outfit arrived.

Dallin got to play in the Big Mountain Jam

and I got in some early morning walks before the heat set in
