A glimpse at the month of June...

One day while the kids were at school, (they didn't get out until the 13th) and I was "sick" on the couch, Sylas pushed a chair up to the sink and "washed" the dishes for me. Golly, I love that kid. He has such a big heart.

I also love finding pictures like this on my phone.



First swim team practice of the summer. They are quite a bit tanner now...

Ander's boat for the rain gutter regatta


Family temple day. The primary leaders watched all the kids while Lohn and I attended the temple. I just love those leaders for helping us have that opportunity!

Sylas's first swim meet of the season. Isn't he a cute little bug?!

Our newest family member. I love her. I haven't named her yet. I'm thinking Dolores or Constance. Lohn says those names are too old, our van is more like a teenager. No way. This van is as matronly as they come.

Sylas's preschool graduation party. So grateful I got to help teach him over the last 2 years, and so grateful for the other mammas that help him be ready for kindergarten!

Gunnar got the Eagle in Excellence award at school. Cause he is awesome.


Cuteness overload


My boys. Love them. (Sniff)

This is how we greeted Tamsyn at the bus stop on her last day of school. 


We did it to the boys too. No pictures of that though. I can't always be a good mom :/

 For $80, Ander got to spend 5 days at Day camp with the cub scouts and pass off bunches of achievements. But in order for him to do this, I had to do time as a chaperone. 8 hours of 90+ heat in an open field.  I am glad I got to spend the day suffering having fun with him though. 


While Amy, Ryan and their girls went to Trek, I went to their house to watch their boys. I only took the two littles with me, and we spent 3 days partying and having fun with cousins. Here we are at Sweet frog...




While the kids ran amok in Amy's house, I made these for my friend who just had a baby. 

I found these at the grocery store. 
Behold, Cadbury Mini Eggs. The Big Bag. For $1.74. I bought 7. Ahem. Don't judge me.

Last night's swim meet. Every kid improved on their times. 

This is Sylas asking Lohn, "Which tunnel would you go down?" He must have been doing this in front of the mirror and noticed it looked like tunnels in his mouth.  Lohn looked in his mouth and said, "Neither. They both look like tunnels I should stay out of."

My health update: I am doing much better! Still not 100%, but there have been several days that I felt like me again. I love that!  I have an appointment with a shrink therapist next week. I am skeptical, but I have hopes that maybe they can help me with my thinking process so I don't jump from bruise to "I have leukemia!" or stomach ache to "I have cancer!" (Yes, I did both of these in the last two weeks.) Life is full of challenges, some incredibly difficult, and I am going to have to endure some of it. I am hoping to get my brain in the right place so I don't have another melt down like I did in May. I am so grateful for all my friends and family that have offered support. I love you all!
