The craziness of JUNE!

June has been a crazy month. So in honor of craziness and the last day. Here are some picture highlights. We have celebrated 7 birthdays, 1 death and a "Going Home Party"/funeral and somehow figured out how to tutor two days a week, have Brin in VBS, and take a week long math class for continuing ed credits.

June 1st- Brinley 4 years.

June 4th- Brin's princess party

To start it off is Brinley's birthday on June 1st. We had a family party for her on her birthday then followed it up with a friends princess party. For a long time it was going to be princess and knights but we changed it to princesses this year. She had a fantastic and memorable time.

Then we have a birthday on my side of the family on June 2, 3, 4. On top of that Chad's Great Uncle Ronald died on the 4th and we had his funeral on the 11th.

June 5th

My folks took Chad the girls and I out to eat at the Orchard House, in Marsing, for dinner on Sunday night. We had a wonderful time outside eating and letting the girls play around the man-made creek.

To top the evening off. As we were getting the girls loaded into the car and Papa and Nana were saying their good-byes. Brin yells out the window to my folks. "Goodbye! Have fun playing sex!" Chad and I were appalled and laughing hysterically at what just came out of her mouth. Chad asked, through laughing, "What does that mean Brinley?" She said you know...then yelled it out the window again to my folks. And told Chad and I, "sex...throwing them into the water". At that point we figured out that meant STICKS!!!

June 6th- Stephanie's Birthday

My own birthday is next on the 6th. This year my husband surprised me with a beautiful necklace with our girl's names on it. I love it!

These were our new family members that also joined our household on my birthday. So needless to say, after 3 weeks with no washer/dryer or laundry room. I really looked forward to doing laundry on my birthday. Yes, I did about 10 loads that day :)

June 15th- Chad's mom, Carol's birthday

This year Chad's siblings took Carol to dinner at P. F. Chang's without the kids. It was a nice evening hanging out with Carol, Joel, Shawn, Candice and us.

June 19th-Father's Day spent playing at the Lake Lowell West park

We celebrated Father's Day by the girls going to pick out a tree or bush of Dad's choice and then planting it together. Chad's choice-a bush for our back corner of our backyard. Then at 5 we headed to Lake Lowell for a BBQ dinner and some kite flying, track ball playing, relaxing evening. We had a wonderful time.

June 24th- Karli's 1st birthday.

June 26th-Karli's party

June 29th- God and Country Festival

This has become an annual event for our family. My girls have seen the fireworks from this every year of their life. It was LATE but in the long run, we felt it was worth it. :)
