Sensational Start to Summer!

-

It's finally here!  Summer!!!  It wouldn't be summer without a few important events to kick of this season of sun, water, and fun!  Like, hey!  We got some hammocks for outside!  They make great boats, forts, swings, amusement park rides, and sleeping stations. 




We also made it to the county library's summer reading program kick-off party at the park. They had yummy popsicles and lots and lots and lots of sudsy bubbles!












Owen and John went to their first summer camp of the season.  It was fun to go to Dinosaur Science 4H camp! 




We are making the rounds to all of the fun, wet community splash pads we can think of to help us beat the heat during these gloriously long summer days!



The rhubarb is happy and delicious this second year in our garden.  We love how crazy big the leaves get!  And we really love how yummy rhubarb pie, cake, jam, and cobbler tastes when it comes fresh from our little backyard garden.

We all took the day to drop Loyd and Rebekah off at FSY LDS Church camp at BYU this June.  Loyd and Rebekah had a great week at BYU being socially and spiritually fed.  The little kids, Grandma Phillips, and I had fun exploring the Bean Life Sciences Museum, and visiting our super fun family, Uncle Royal, Aunt Loretta, and Cousin Walter in Mapleton.  Maeve was over the moon excited to see a real specimen of her favorite animal the Liger a the Bean museum.  

John got to check out Uncle Royal's and Cousin Walter's latest project, a cool old jeep that needs lots of restoration work.  Uncle Royal lifted John into the jeep and let him see what life's like behind the wheel.  Worried about Uncle Royal, John took a long look around the jeep and look up to his favorite uncle and said, "Um, it's really broken."  He was worried Uncle Royal might not be aware of the bad shape of his new fixer-upper project. :D  It was pretty funny!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
