June was a fun month for us! We started it off right by driving to Utah and spending some time with my sister and her family. Last time we visited, we missed seeing her baby by 12 hours! The kids and I loved seeing baby Emmalyn who just turned 2 months. Avery is going to make a great momma some day - she was smitten.
We started out the Utah trip with a trip to the nickelcade. Success! We all had so much fun, including the adults. I wish they had these in Colorado! This is how Avery & Griffin work the basketball game - from the inside.
Classic picture with the Y in the background and me sporting my new favorite T-shirt - "muscles & mascara."
The kids got to all sit in the back seat while we were in Utah so Karen and Emmalyn could fit in the van with us. Griffin was so excited to be with the big kids!
Saturday night bowling at the wilk. Ryan had an incredible comeback in the last frame to beat me by two. Also a reminder to myself ... only bowl 1 frame if you have all of the kids with you!!
Guh Goh & Papa Harbor were in Utah visiting family, so we met up with them at Cafe zupas - yum!
They even took Jaxson for the rest of the day/night. He had so much fun having that extra time with some of his favorite people. Thanks for taking him!
The following day we drove up to their hotel and went swimming at their hotel - kids loved it!
After swimming we ate a kneaders lunch and said goodbye. Hopefully it's not for too long!
Just a quick picture of how I found Griffin sleeping while at Karen's house. This kid likes to cover his face and head with blankets and we think its pretty darn cute!
Three days after we came home from Utah we FINALLY got to move into our house!! Oh happy day!! We spent the week unpacking boxes and have been organizing ever since. We still have a ways to go, but I am happy the boxes are all gone now.
My mom left me a box of Canadian goodies at my sisters house, so I brought them home with me. Griffin was a big fan of the Canadian corn pops (sooooo much better than the yucky ones down here). He ate 3 bowls every morning for a week straight.
Jordan (Ryan's brother), his wife Christine, and their baby Camden stopped by for a quick visit on their way across the country. We sure enjoyed having them and seeing our little nephew for the first time.
The kids loved meeting their cousin!
First Sunday in our new ward.
Sunday selfie before they hit the road.
Monday morning shenanigans. Griffin loves this hat and loves to run around the house wearing it.
Shopping at the local grocery store eating free cookies. Good one King Soopers!
Griffin found Averys shoes and thought it was fun wearing them around.
Dress up with these two. Jaxson is a police man. Avery's outfit sums her up nicely; She likes princess things but is crazy and silly too.
Swinging outside in the backyard.
Nakey baby!
Ryan & Avery caught a baby bunny in the backyard. They couldn't get enough and wanted to keep it, but we felt bad and left it go a few minutes later.
Eating sidewalk chalk. We asked Griffin if he ate any and he said noooo! This oddly reminds me of one my brothers (can't remember if it was Dallin or Robbie and the pool table chalk...)
One of my good friends from San Antonio, Gabi McLeish, was in Denver visiting her family - it was so great seeing her!! The kids had so much fun playing with their friends they had been missing!
Someone lost their first tooth. He even left some sparkles under his pillow for the tooth fairy, so she gave him and extra quarter. He was one happy boy in the morning!
Jaxson, Avery, and the neighbor kids caught this bunny. Poor thing was shaking uncontrollably for a while.
This kid absolutely LOVES bunnies!
Blogging a couple days into July 2016 now ...
We sure had fun celebrating July 1st - Canada day! I loved growing up where I did. When I go back, I am just in awe of the beauty of that place. My small Mormon town was great and I cherish all the friends I made growing up! To celebrate, we did a wiener and smore roast outside for the first time in our backyard. I think it will be the first of many to come!
One happy, messy girl.
Loving the giant marshmallows. I think he ate 3!
We spent July 2nd at our neighborhood pool party. Chic fil a, cotton candy, snow cones, games for candy, bounce house, etc... It was a blast!!
The kids finding money in the pool - Jaxson found over $2!
A pink starburst and coins she found in the pool. That is one happy girl right there!! We are loving summer and can't wait for more!
