June 2014

Oh how we love the summer!  June was filled with Swim Lessons, Vacation Bible School, Mimi coming to visit, fun outings, silly days at home, and enjoying each and every moment.

Time to set up the slip-n-slide and the pool

Avery has been LOVING looking at pictures and photo albums
Week 2 of swimming for Davis and I just love how Caleb and Avery are his #1 Fans, cheering him on.  We pray that they will always cheer each other on
During the 30 minute swim lesson, we played in the front yard
and a quick picture while we wait
Avery loves playing basketball

On the 7th day swimming with Ms. Jordan, we were able to watch and see all that he learned





Thanks Ms. Jordan

A little monkey trick

We joined up with a sweet service project, Hands and Feet Service Projects, during the summer and the kids filled hundreds of bags with canned goods and stuffed animals to give to children that normally get breakfast and lunch at school and don't have food during the summers.  
We played at the Tree House Fort and had it all to ourselves, so the boys climbed the walls, literally




That night we had a fun night to wrap up a fun week at Vacation Bible School.  We had hot dogs, bounce houses, and great music. The boys had a blast and were grateful for a wonderful opportunity
Caleb got into making a super Lego city with a house, garage, helicopters, helicopter garage, gas station, and tire station



During Great Mimi's Funeral, Daddy entertained Avery in the back and got some great pictures

Kissy Face


After Church Lunch Fun
Dog Pile on Mommy
Our neighborhood had a Flag Day Parade and Festival.  There were some fun activities, including stick your toes in an ice pool to dig for erasers
Her Flag Day Dress 
Mmmm...icey pop
The parade around the park on their decorated skooters

Swingin'
Some face paint
A girl went before him and I think he just said he wanted what she had.  Super masculine!

A selfie
Spider-Man
Cute Kids
We love our sweet neighbor, Ms. Debby
Bubbles
Then, our buddy Graham had an awesome 5th birthday at a Martial Arts place.  The boys had a blast and learned a few moves
We also were grateful to get Rangers tickets from Craig's work.  It just so happened to be $1 ice cream day, so we had some yummy treats.
So close to the field
Excuse the finger covering the camera
Mmmmm...her own ice cream
We had a blast at the game
Walking to the car after the game
Love the way she looks at her Daddy
Fun with the spray table

Just hanging around after church
Splashing down the slide

Our service project for the week was to take Firefighters treats and cards.  We had a blast and are grateful for the men that serve our community
Avery was pretty funny, standing up there with the firefighter that was talking to our group

The bible story after our visit
Sweet!

We got some indoor sand stuff and Caleb built Jesus' tomb
And Davis' creation
Silly Avery
Caleb has been playing with one of my childhood toys
3 little monkeys laying in the bed
When Mimi was in town and we went to Heights Pool, I was finally able to take a picture or two

Caleb is tall enough and is brave enough now to go down the big slide and he LOVED it

Met baby Winnie Cate, a teacher friend from UT's precious baby girl
A fun night out with Community (notice the random arm--Craig loves making pictures awkward)
Our little archaeologist, digging for dinousaurs

Daddy's swinging is the best

Mimi brought blue hair gel and Caleb thought it was so cool until it was in his hair.  His face says it all!
Puzzles
And again
Avery's turn with the water hose
Archaeologists again and it was just as fun the second time
Got Swords
Caleb learned to blow up a balloon
His creation
Avery giving Mimi every single dinosaur and animal we have
Big Hugs
We LOVED our sweet week with Mimi and this little girl was SAD to see her leave.  Thanks Mimi for taking the time to come in town and love on our family!

Klyde Warren Park







We are climbing walls over here
and Mommy's joining in the fun
7 months after his broken nose accident, Caleb got the courage to ride his bike again. 
This girl loves putting things on her head
It was a fun-filled June with many memories
