June Wrap-Up

June 5:  Drew’s gotten into coloring more lately.  I thought it was pretty clever of him to use his pocket to keep his markers together.

June 7:  Justin hiked rattlesnake before work this morning with Dave.  This hike just never gets old.

June 9:  Just a little filter fun – Bonjour Jason! and Mademoiselle

June 11:  I posted this picture on Instagram today – my last day with just my buddy before summer break and the start of all day kindergarten in the fall.  We spent the morning at the Y, which he won’t miss, and the afternoon lunching with friends and playing at an indoor playground.  Oh, how I love this boy and will miss all this time I’ve had with him.

June 23:  The girls had to check out of EFY early Saturday morning and be ready for pickup around 7am.  We bought tickets for the whole family to go see Incredibles 2 at 10:30am and then we ran a few errands before heading home.  After, no doubt, a week full of late nights the girls were pretty tired.  Abigail had plans that afternoon/evening with some old friends in Auburn – her first time driving down Hwy 18 alone.  Carly however, had the afternoon to apparently… nap (be sure to have your volume on for this one).

June 24:  For FHE we watched a video requested by the kids’ piano teacher about classical music.  After which we bribed the kids with dessert if they played a little piece.  All the piano music is kept downstairs so the kids just had go play off memory.  As you can see Jason was a little bit of stinker and not sure why the girls didn’t have to play anything…

June 25:  First summer lunch date of the year went to Abigail.  She chose Cheesecake Factory and it was delish.  Of course errands afterward because can’t drive out to Bellevue without hitting up some must-dos.  Is it me or is she looking older these days??

June 29:  This was Katie’s first year attending our stake activity day camp.  This year was a bit different in that the camp was held Friday evening and then all day Saturday.  The girls were encouraged to bring a parent along on Friday for a family history scavenger hunt.  It was actually really fun.  We walked around the stake center and temple grounds following clues and sharing with Katie bits about our family story and the story of her grandparents.  Each station also gave her one of the supplies she would need to later plant a flower in a cute little pot she decorated.

(We ate at Café Rio beforehand and didn’t catch that big ole’ bean skin on Katie’s teeth until the end of the evening – ha!)

On Saturday she got to participate in calligraphy, cooking of crepes, archery and completing a family history project.  I love that our stake has so many amazing activities for our youth and kiddos.

The girls sang the song they’d learned as the parents arrived to pick them up.  I truly hope Katie always remembers that she is a Child of God and that he LOVES her so, so much.

Katie really wanted Justin to go with her Friday, but he was attending what I believe was his third Mariners game of the season.  T-Mobile sure does treat him pretty good.
