June....Lets the camps begin!


The girls are getting ready for girls camp! They wanted to do a test run for tent sleeping....so they did a sleepover outside! 


They did pretty well! It did make me realize how noisy our neighborhood is at night! We slept with the window open so we could hear if there was a problem. All the neighborhood noise is not soo good for the camping experience!  
Trying the curly with the new Lange' products! 


Saileen got a hand me down dress from my cousin.....fits her all too well! Not ready for this!


Time for Girls camo for the oldest 3! 

I think they had fun! 

They got rained on one of the nights! 

All in all a good experience for them! 

While they were gone, we bought an RV! 
They were so excited! We are all excited to get to go do a lot of fun things! 

For my Dad's birthday, we got him the modern version of the "clap on" light! 
He just has to ask Siri to turn it off! We had it all installed and ready to go when he got home! 




We also decorated their house because they were gone on a trip and it would be there to surprise them when they got home!! 

Kaliah had a Father/Daughter date for activity days!



fun games to play and a picnic




Shaving cream on their heads and then they got to see how many Cheetos they could get to stick! 



We went to Neptune park for a work thing for Derek. This park is actually quite scary! 
They had fun playing there though! 

Holland is still taller than  MyKay.....for now! 

Crazy spilts from Kaliah! 

Crusin the neighborhood with friends! 

She must not love this plant! Ha ha

Panorama shots in the back yard. Magic! 

Fancy Face mask superhero! Who doesn't turn into a superhero when wearing a mask?!?




Birthday time for this boy!!! 7 years old! He got a lot of Dragons! He loves How to Train your Dragon! He has almost all of them now! Including the light furry! 







 Roses in bloom means we get to enjoy their beautiful smell and beauty!!!!  I love ROSES!!






Youth conference rounded out our month! Saileen and Derek went. They went south to Manti. They saw the Manti pageant for the last year it will be showing. They stayed at snow college and even had a dance! It did rain on them during the pageant but I think they had a good time anyway!

May the fourth be with you

MyKay got his numberblocks books and cubes! He is very excited! Not to mention they came by way of "Royal Post" from England! Fancy stuff! 



He is keeping himself busy with building things and various mustaches...this one happens to be smoothie! ha ha

I helped at Women's Conference this year. We helped with the service projects. Our assignment was the Happy Pillows.
Prior to the actual event, we spent many hours cutting and organizing thousands of little felt pieces for all the kits! 


I roped Brandy into helping us! I think she rather enjoyed it! It was fun to have her there too!
Breanne was also a part of all the fun! 


We showed people how to trace and cut the circles for the pillows. We put all the kits together and we even exceeded our goal of how many we needed to make!  

I ran into Shaliah while walking to the car! What are the chances we happened to be on the same part of campus at the exact same moment!?!?



On my way home I got a call that Kenna was heading to the urgent care with a possible arm injury. Detour to there, before arriving home! 

She ended up not having a break, which was a great thing! Just a sling for a few days!



A little outing with the middle kids resulted in a very sad demise of a little butterfly! There were butterflies EVERYWHERE!!!  Hundreds of them!! I'm glad we only caught one on the car and not more! I have never seen that many butterflies flying around all together! 



MyKay and his building things all the time! Quite the little craftsman! 

This is Derek, as a girl....One cannot resist when a Snapchat filter is so amusing! 

Myself as a boy and Kenna as a boy as well!


MyKay as both man and a girl was quite entertaining! 



Me with less facial hair.....I think my man self looks better with facial hair. Also MyLee....Wow 
Saileen with her sunburnt arms rocking the Dude vibe! 
All in good fun! We had some good laughs from this! 
Apparently, Kaliah did not want her Dud picture saved for all the world to see...
no doubt she tried it though! 


Aaaaan more building! 

Hair training to wash it less...the shower cap is too cool for school!  



Impromptu building one morning with some fun parts we found from the pool noodles! 

Saileen played basketball this year! Derek and Dave coached. 

Scrunchies are back!! 

Selfie time! 




So many beautiful things happening in our yard this year!!!  

Sunburned and obviously very happy about it! ;-) 

She thinks she can take him....

I have no idea what is happening here! Ha ha


They put on a show for us once again! 

costumes, music, theatrics! The whole bit! 



MyLees first season playing soccer! 

She really loves it! She is pretty good for having never played before! 

May means lots of outdoor time! Kenna and Kaliah have been doing immunotherapy drops for their allergies and it has made a world of difference for them! They are getting to enjoy spring and summer this year!!  Yay for warm weather!!!!
