Ah, June. What a marvelous month. You may have seen one or a few or all of my previous June happenings posts: LOOOOTS (!) of birthday stuff here, here, here, here, and here; plus some fun in parks here and here, and a whole lotta hiking here. You'd think that would cover it for June. But you know me. And you know I always, always have more. Hang tight for the round up of random-stuff-that-didn't-make-its-own-post here: (I promise it's worth it!)
 |
| I just had to include this because doesn't that just sum everything up? Ha! |
 |
| 6.1.18 (victory over that steep dirt hill on the banks of Pineview!) |
 |
| 6.1.18 (victory for everyone!) |
 |
| 6.2.18 (we've (especially Cal) been diggin' Ramona lately - best free audible code I've ever spent!) |
 |
| 6.3.18 (a pretty weed we found by our "stream" across the street) |
 |
| 6.3.18 (a Sunday evening by the stream - really it's an irrigation ditch, but the kids call it a stream, and it's actually quite lovely over there) |
 |
| 6.4.18 (strawberry ice cream face) |
 |
| 6.6.18 (birthday pinata prep) |
 |
| 6.7.18 (my annual visit to Melba's poppies by the park for a photo shoot) |
 |
| 6.7.18 (they seriously fill my soul with joy) |
 |
| 6.7.18 |
 |
| 6.7.18 |
 |
| 6.7.18 |
 |
| 6.8.18 (and another stop on the way to summer school for good measure) |
 |
| 6.8.18 |
 |
| 6.8.18 (she thinks she's big) |
 |
| 6.8.18 (and she told me she wanted to go in to her classroom by herself) |
 |
| 6.8.18 (I'm not ready for that yet!) |
 |
| 6.8.18 (he found a ball on the playground and was pretty pleased about it) |
 |
| 6.8.18 (this is a new thing for me to sneak in and take napping pics of Sam - his room before always squeaked or stuck when I tried to open it, so I never attempted these sorts of shots, but now with big-boy-bed status and being in Cal's room, I can catch these moments a lot) |
 |
| 6.10.18 (he made a flatbed truck out of his magnatiles) |
 |
| 6.10.18 (lookin' cool at the park) |
 |
| 6.11.18 (a beautiful morning at the lake before the library) |
 |
| 6.11.18 (putting that new card to good use!) |
 |
| 6.11.18 (we got home from the library and our neighbor Gordon was in his pasture digging a trench for new sprinkler pipe with is tractor. The kids were sucked over like magnets and they stood there to watch him work till I called them in for lunch) |
 |
| 6.12.18 (this is the life!) |
 |
| 6.12.18 |
 |
| 6.12.18 (the result of those adorable goggles on his cute little face) |
 |
| 6.12.18 (yet they remain!) |
 |
| 6.12.18 (my boys) |
 |
| 6.12.18 (back at it - this book (Henry B. Eyring biography: "I Will Lead You Along") is a beast! but I loved it! |
 |
| 6.13.18 (she got this butterfly magnet craft kit from Charleigh and Prestin for her birthday (they gave it to her at our hike this morning) and promptly started painting and gluing and glittering as soon as lunch was over. She was so sweet to give so many of her creations away, too - to Charlie, to Kirsten (our favorite children's librarian who moved to another branch), to Braylin (a girl her age in our ward who we played a lot with this month.) |
 |
| 6.15.18 (bought a new temple dress (finally! thanks for the Christmas cash, Mom and Dad!) since my other one doesn't fit so well (and hasn't for the past five years - I wonder why that is?)) |
 |
| 6.16.18 (don't mind the ragamuffin hair do - I think what I was taking this picture for was to show off her cute drawing of the heart eyes emoji on the back of an envelope she sent to some lucky person - was it you?) |
 |
| 6.16.18 (father's day dessert - sheet pan apple pie - comin' atcha) |
 |
| 6.16.18 (a little midday hammocking in the shade) |
 |
| 6.16.18 (I feel like I missed the cute part of this scene, but Cal loves to help daddy with whatever he's doing) |
 |
| 6.16.18 (boom. frosted. looks good enough to eat, if I do say so myself. and it was!) |
 |
| 6.16.18 (I've said it before and I'll say it again: be still my heart!) |
 |
| 6.16.18 (how can he look so big and so little at the same time?) |
 |
| 6.17.18 (a lovely sunrise for father's day morning) |
 |
| 6.17.18 (we love this dad!) |
 |
| 6.17.18 (actually, I think this was probably taken sometime circa 1989 maybe? I snapped a pic of this pic from my sister's scrapbook while we were hanging at her house on father's day - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, methinks) |
 |
| 6.18.18 (another glorious morning on the bike path before the library) |
 |
| 6.18.18 (one of my favorite views across the lake) |
 |
| 6.18.18 (we usually ride/walk to the beach where this giant tree is, and it's fun to observe how much the lake goes down each week by seeing how much more of the trees roots are exposed) |
 |
| 6.18.18 |
 |
| 6.18.18 |
 |
| 6.18.18 |
 |
| 6.19.18 (we met up with Joan's family at the dino park and had fun picnicking and exploring with cousins (mine) and second cousins (the kids') plus cousins of cousins and second cousins (how confusing is that?)) |
 |
| 6.19.18 (here are a few of those crazy cousins) |
 |
| 6.21.18 (first day of summer lake vibes) |
 |
| 6.21.18 (see those roots?) |
 |
| 6.21.18 (beach time with friends is where it's at) |
 |
| 6.21.18 (mom 'n' cal time in the hammock. I'm pretty sure her reading and the gentle rocking put me right to sleep) |
 |
| 6.21.18 (first popsicles from Cal's birthday molds) |
 |
| 6.22.18 (rub a dub dub three kids in a tub) |
 |
| 6.22.18 (nothin' cuter than a blue-eyed boy in a blue-striped towel) |
 |
| 6.22.18 (sunset magic) |
 |
| 6.23.18 (graphic novels are not my typical genre, but my friend Erin has suggested a few that I have tried and really liked, so when she told me I'd love this one, I was excited to check it out) |
 |
| 6.23.18 (she was right - I LOVED it - funny and smart and witty and informative - it was fantastic) |
 |
| 6.23.18 (we needed an outing, so we hopped on the train with no real destination in mind) |
 |
| 6.23.18 (it just happened to be the air show day at Hill AFB, so the train had a deal on tickets (like the one that runs in December during Christmas light season) AND we got to see the Thunderbirds doing their tricks out the windows while we rode - Bonus!) |
 |
| 6.23.18 (waiting at the farmington station for our return ride - we stopped here and got burgers at Habit Burger and an ice cream sandwich at The Baked Bear - yummy treats!) |
 |
| 6.25.18 (another Monday, another meet-up with Charlie at the lake) |
 |
| 6.25.18 (it seemed like the right thing to do on a Monday afternoon) |
 |
| 6.27.18 (we went to the library for a little scientific circus fun: Peter Davison's LocoMotion) |
bonus video!
6.27.18
 |
| 6.27.18 (when (half) your current library stack matches your favorite bookmark, it's time for a photo. Naturally) |
 |
| 6.28.18 (the unread portion of my ever-growing book stack) |
 |
| 6.29.18 (I liked this gratitude quote in Gail Miller's book) |
 |
| 6.29.18 (I liked learning how to cut stars using this "Betsy Ross" method) |
 |
| 6.29.18 (it was just a lovely evening walk down the neighbor's lane) |
 |
| 6.29.18 (almost sunset - but not quite) |
 |
| 6.30.18 (11:42 am snoozin' on Dad while watching This Old House) |
 |
| 6.30.18 (the sole reason we (and many other people) go to a Blue Sox game) |
