June - a busy month!

June was the first month of the year that we were in town for the entire month since January! It was nice to be home, and to have the boys home for a lot of it. We enjoyed heating the pool and having friends come over to play!

We got some more magna tiles for Father's day, which is an absolute favorite in our house.  We now have almost 300 magna tiles! Thanks for starting the trend, Chi Chi! Of course it doesn't matter because the boys still don't have "enough" and are learning the value of sharing. We love watching them make their "temples."  Aspen waits in the wings and as soon as the boys move away from their construction she walks over with a devilish grin and kicks it over! She's hilarious!

 I decided it is time to go do dates with my kids.  Hunter has always wanted to go ice skating, so we went and had a blast.  I think he loved it more than many other things he has done!

 First time on ice skates!

 And surprise! Avery was there! She does figure skating but I had no idea when or where. She was totally showing off for Hunter and it was adorable!

 He was so excited to see her that he completely forgot about our date!

 Avery was trying to teach Hunter to skate

 Then we went to Susiecakes for some cake and to get warm! We were frozen after 2 hours of skating!

 2 days later I took Landon ice skating. He hated it. We went around the rink 1 time and then we left and went bowling.  Given Landon's natural athleticism I thought he was going to be amazing at it. Unfortunately, he didn't like being unsteady on his feet.  Hunter, on the other hand, surprised me. He was incredible and picked it up really quickly. By the end of the first day he was skating around the rink on his own!

 "I don't wike this!"

 SO we went bowling!

 Later that week, Brian and I went on a date with our good friends Tamara and Aaron. We went to a cooking class and had a blast!

 I'm learning

We had a blast on our date and learning how to cook some new dishes. These are some great friends!

 Pool time with the Caldwells!

 Awesome Batman Float from my brother

 Pizza kids! The 6 of them ate the entire x-large pizza!

 I took a picture to prove that my kitchen has been clean at one time.  This is it.  Enjoy it.

 At Hunter's preschool grad!

 Avery!

 Playing with his tassel! The whole time he played with his tassel!

 Cutie pants! Glad to be done with this school!

 You can see his face!

Wow! My husband is HANDSOME! And so is my cutie Landon.

 What did parents do before the iPhone?

 Graduating!!

 Hunter and Aspen

 The 3 Amigos

 Right after graduation we grabbed a quick dinner and ice cream to celebrate. Then we rushed home where Brian taught a grilling class to some of the women in the church. He's so cute when he's teaching.  It turned out AWESOME! All the food was great and he taught the women a lot.

 Teaching

 It's a terrible photo of me, but I am so sad that these girls left.  Steph moved to Connecticut and Tami moved to Utah. I miss this girls so much already!
