June Catch Up

Our month in one post:
The 4 of us went to Lagoon several times in June, rain or shine and had so much fun together. This is such a great bargaining chip for me. I'm so grateful to have such a great reward. Everyone wins!
All crowded on the ferris wheel together.

This ride really scared Cambry and Vienna at the beginning of the summer. But they both put it on their summer bucket list to ride it. Here we are right after we rode it and they were so proud of themselves. 

C and V both love riding rides with Myla. Myla just wants to ride them all and doesn't seem to mind if she's by herself or has a sister with her.

Just climbing trees. This is one of my favorite childhood past times. I'm so glad these girls love it too.

Monkeying around at the park

Rainy day at Lagoon with cousin Rylee. These wet days were some of our favorite times at Lagoon- less crowded, big puddles. Perfect.


Myla rode the ferris wheel with her hands in the air. So funny to me.

Myla is quite the climber these days and did a pull up to get up on this motorcycle. She really is a super strong little thing.

Jamey and Michelle had their baby girl Scarlet and had to spend some time in the NICU. This was the first time I met this delicious bundle.

"Mom, do you think your mouth can swallow my mouth, or can my mouth swallow your mouth?" I love my Veena Bug's quesitons.

Our first pic with the selfie stick. Myla LOVES being in charge of the remote.

Several afternoons we've set up the "water slide" and sprinkler under the tramp, topped off with popsicles. We have loved hosting many a play dates and impromptu neighborhood parties in our back yard. 

My girls were so happy to have their cousins Wellsy and Andrew for the morning after Michelle had her new baby. This trip to Walmart was hilarious. 

Cambry said, "look at our cool trick. take a picture for daddy. No hands!"

hahaha!

Happy Father's Day to the greatest guy we know!


Look how long our hair is growing mom!

  • lots of times after we go to the Library, we stop by my Grandma Ber's house and C and V both bring in a book to have her read it. I think all 3 of them really enjoy this special time together. I love that Gma Ber is always ready to serve.

Milcreek Friday night festivals have some pretty fun things like this guy creating giant bubbles for all the kids. We spent probably 30 minutes alone here.



We had a hard time getting Myla out of the bounce house. Oh this girl and her endless supply of energy!

What goes down must come up!

Clothes and shoes can be such a battle sometimes with Myla. It's obvious who won this time. it was a total "throw up the white flag" kind of a day.

Oh and hair is a struggle some days too. Here's another victory for Myla- check out her feet- she's wearing Cambry's booster arm rests on her feet! haha.

Cambry's beauty salon on the kitchen table. 

Cambry's tithing slip on her birthday money. Seriously, I love her handwriting, and her excitement to follow God's commandment to pay tithing. "I'm so excited to get blessings!"

"Dad can we keep playing on your countulator?" says Vienna

Cambry's building creations with Myla's "help"

Grandma Ber brought all the outfits out from all of her kids' weddings for a fashion show. These ones debuted at my parent's wedding- only the guys all wore overalls. Isn't this fantastic!

Cambry found the perfect walking stick for our hike up Milcreek Canyon. hehe
We stopped to play in the water, and never really started again. The water was so cool and refreshing for such a hot day, it was ample entertainment and enjoyment for one afternoon.

Oh how I love this sassy little love bug.

These girls kept "accidentally" getting more and more wet until they were only in their panties. Nature and innocence is a wonderful combination.

This little dare devil kept finding the spots where she was most likely to drown, and trying to hover right over them throwing rocks and leaves in. Oh what fun we have living on the edge.

Cambry's Birthday Party

Cambry turned 5 in May and wanted a swimming birthday party. It was a wet, rainy and cold May and part of June, so we finally were able to have it mid June. She invited about 10 friends/cousins/families and was so excited that they all came. Lots of the families stayed to swim too, and it was just a fun time for our whole family to celebrate our Cambry girl with people we love. We kept it simple with pizza and ice cream sandwiches and just let the kids swim, play and have a great time.
Here are pics of her party.

Lily's Birthday Party

In June, we went up to Logan to celebrate my niece's birthday (Yeah, it's me, Devin). We decided to stop by Lagoon and try out Laguna Beach. It was a hit.

Cambry and Vienna loved these water swings


Myla loved commandeering everyone's tubes

These water slides were just the right size for our girls.


After a couple hours, we packed up, got a little lost and mixed up, but found each other and made our way to the Rowe's fun backyard. The kids were so happy to swing in the giant swing and to have so many people (grandma, uncles, aunts) to push them.

The girls trying to "help" grandpa setup Lily's telescope.

Will cheering on Cambry and Vienna as they float down the stream

Myla took a nap and actually let Joslyn snuggle her for more than 2 seconds after she woke up!

Huck and Finn. They seriously floated down this stream a dozen times

Thanks, Noelle, for the fun times and memories. Our girls may have steered clear of the giant water slide, but loved everything else about your backyard.

A Night up the Canyon

Sometime during the June heat wave, we decided to escape up Millcreek canyon with just the fam for dinner. The girls were excited, but cautious, about roasting their hot dogs.

After dinner, we explored the picnic area and found this beauty of a waterfall.

All together now... maybe not. 10 points to Cambry for looking at the camera. Joslyn get 5 for one eye.

That's a 10! Joslyn also gets 10 points for looking at the camera with both eyes. :)

Across the top of the waterfall. I sort of get vertigo looking at this picture.

Then we headed back for S'mores. What delicious little cuties!
