June 2025

 June was a jam packed fun month!  Summer fun, Grandma S visiting, Rebecca and kids visiting again, camps, backpacking, and so much more.  How blessed are we to be busying doing the things we love.

First we collected good friends were getting rid of to have a garage sale to help earn money for kids camps.  The boys wanted to join in and sold some of their things and treats to earn money.

Fathers day!

We love Alex!

Enjoy summer... watching soccer games with friends.

I got to go to girls camp with McKay and had a blast!!!!  These girls are the best and truly blessed to be able to get to know them and serve with them

Even when one of them wants to wake up at 5am and go running.

So blessed to be able to be apart of the camp.  EXHASUTED but had the best time.

More fishing!

Rebecca and kids came into town again.  Alex and Clifton were gone for the week so we had some fun just the ladies and our crazy kids.

Signed the kids up for taekwondo for the summer

The big event was taking my mom on a hot air balloon ride for her birthday present - which has been on the top of her bucket list for a long time.

It was a pretty cool exerience!

Then Alex and I took advantage of my mom being her and went on a backpacking trip.

Thus trip was AMAZING!!!!  The most beautiful views, Moose encounters, time together and just enjoying being in nature.  We didn't make it to the summit, which made me cry but we got pretty fang close, and safety was more important.  BUT I think i got Alex on board with going with me at least once a year.  It was my favorite event all year.

Back home and back to more summer memories... Picking wildflowers and making bouquets.

Water World trip with friends.

It did end not the way we had hoped, by Hazen getting rescued by a life guard.  I went off to do some rides with Clifton and my mom fell asleep on the chair watching the little boys.  THANK goodness for life guards being on top of it.  But it gave us all a scare and we called it a day.
