Busy, Fun, June

This month has been crazy! from several camp outs, to the end of soccer season. From diapers in the tub (whoops!) to the strawberry days rodeo. What a fantastic start to summer.

In church we upgraded from a small side pew to a middle pew. With all the extra room to use, they still pile right on top of mom!

Precious moments

Family home evening, Bennett snuggles, and seeing my boys share a book together, could life be better? I think not!

Giggles, grills, and Graduate.

I absolutely love Bennetts giggle. Dad got a new grill for Father's day and we have been trying it out. and Kyle graduated from Preschool.

Happy busy days

Summer week one

We are going to be busy this summer, every week we have plans in that we will be doing certain things weekly. The pool, the library, field trips with friends, and chores as well. We started off the summer with trips to the dino museum, and pool and Gardens. It is so much fun to have our neighbors and best friends the Means family, come along with us on all these adventures.

Memoral day

Besides the yearly ward picnic and 5K run (bike ride for the boys) this year we did something difference for memorial day. We found an ancestor that was buried in Springville and we visited his grave. In that same cemetery, A couple of Dads baby cousins were buried. It was a cool experience to be able to find and learn about those of our family who have passed on and I hope the boys learned something about respect and honor for those who have gone before us. 

Fighting Illini graduate

Dad graduated with his masters degree in Computer Science from University of Illinois! Mom and Dad took the trip to see campus for the first time. Illinois was beautiful (especially after we changed hotels) and we had a great time exploring Champaign-Urbana. Mothers day was a little sad away from the boys but we are so thankful for Nathaniel's Mom who came out to watch the boys. In honor of the University's colors (actually more because finals were so stressful he didn't have time or energy to shave) Dad is sporting a new beard! We are so happy to have Master Dad all to ourselves again (no offence Uof I) because homework stinks! Congrats and good job Dad!
