June Phone Favorites

 Being home 24/7 I feel like I took SOOOOOO many pictures. May need to grab a snack before you start rolling through these. Here's a round up of June's Favorites.

Multitasking like his Father.

After swim naps are the best.

I got this shirt and I absolutely love it. The Black Lives movement was HUGE this month. Mostly scary. I know I do not understand what they are and have gone through. I feel that regardless of race, we should all be kinder to one another. 

I am obsessed with these puzzles.

Sunday morning wake up call.

Tye Dye Summer!

Our first time into a store to get flowers for E's crown for her baptism. 

LOOK WHO'S SITTING UP!!!! Stop growing up so fast!!!

WE joined a sticker club this summer. We only got a few packs of stickers in the mail but the ones e got were pretty epic! 

Slip n Slide fun with baby Vivian who is five months older than Roo. 

Elder Martin and Elder Alexander were new missionaries in our area. They came over to help with some projects. They have been stuck inside for COVID and I felt so bad for them. I think we will find some more projects for them to help with outside. Such awesome boys. 

Wishing he was big and outside too. 

I completely copied picture from online. Mama and baby Roo! 

So much swimming!! Papa was amazing too. He's gets in the pool every single time we come over and swims with the kids. He's just amazing!! 

Riding Fritz.

A few nights the kids got to stay up late. One night after the boys fell asleep  I could hear E stirring so I pulled her out of bed and we went and caught fireflies together. It was a fun evening!

When you tell the kids it's mandatory outside time and ten minute later to look out the window and find this. HAHA.

No cupboard can be left unexplored.

Making silly faces with Papa Hensley.

Teaching Gram some cake skills.

When you walk into the room and find this.... I have no words.

I bought this dress for E at Savers in Vegas a few years ago. We decided it was time to sell it. I got to snap a couple pictures of her before we got rid of it though. She is so beautiful! 

Also I bought it for $13 and I sold it for $50! SCORE!

More cakes.

It was an awesome month full of food, sweets, swimming and family time! Doesn't get much better than that!

Blueberry Picking

 There was a semi cool day on the calendar so we loaded up the crew and headed out to the blueberry patch. Here are way too many pictures.


Roo was a big fan of all the blueberries!

 
We didn't stay very long but we had fun soaking up bluthe sun and gathering delectable berries!

Our First BIG Outing

 A friend called and asked if I wanted to go to the zoo with her. The moment she asked my anxiety went through the roof. We have not gone anywhere big since March 13th. For those of you counting, that is 15 weeks. I had to talk crazy Stephanie down a bit. I knew I had to leave the house eventually so why not go have some fun?

The kids were amazing! They were so excited to get out of the house and explore a bit. Man we missed this.

And even though the kids were REALLY good listeners, I wasn't prepared for how anxious I was going to be. Keeping them close, trying to keep them from touching things and stay away from people was exhausting!

Reddrick loved the train.

E's new favorite animal is the Red Panda. I can totally get on board with this choice. They are so dang cute!

The kids were awesome and wore their masks the entire time without complaint and while we had fun, it was different. The world has changed. It made me so sad that something we had once loved so much has been tainted but we are grateful that we got to go out and spend time with friends and have an adventure.
