    No Comments

    Cali with friends at the new PG Trampoline Park:

    Soccer camp! Mon – Thurs mornings at the high school:

    Rose being creative:

    Boys frying their brains on fortnight:

    Manila Pond!!!:

    Tiago and Millie playing at the park during soccer camp:

    Funny Boys:

    Always a “sprinkler day” around here with these two:

    We are trying to read for atleast 30 minutes each day this summer – sometimes reading is more fun outside:

    and sometimes you just go to the splashpad park and bring lots of food and stay as long as you want:

     

    We have so many strawberries in our garden this year!!

    And these kids are getting fun to play board games with!

    and then there was that Friday afternoon that we dropped Benji off at the scout campout and then I smashed Millie’s thumb in the car door!

    Another board game before bed! And these kids love Aunt Kelsey, especially when she shows them Zac Efron dancing to Let it Go:

    On Saturday we decided to go  to the pond with Kelsey and with Matt and Jamie and their 3 youngest:

    Meanwhile Ben got home from Youth Conference where he was the best water guy around:

     

    Another game – this time with Dad!

    And the neighborhood possey – Millie and Tiago will follow the neighbor kids ANYwhere and EVERYwhere!

    Strawberries from the garden!!

    Our kids are SOO TIRED from soo many late nights. Ben made them hold hands as a punishment for fighting – RAY was not happy about that.

    I made these kids do a puzzle with me!

    Packer didn’t want to do a puzzle:

    AND our first trip to the manila pond!

    Ben and I on a motorcycle ride!!

     

    and We convinced Ben to go to the PG Pool on Saturday!

    Packer got a summer buzz:

    Rose gets a headache whenever she gets in the car. So we are trying some tricks to help. Sit in the front in a booster and watch the road. Bring a cold drink. Keep air on her. Chew on ice. It might be  along trip to Wisconsin if we don’t figure it out.

    I don’t know why he wanted a pony in his hair – but he kept it there all day and got upset when I took it out at 11pm and put him to bed.

    Playing with Sydney and other cousins on Friday night and watching the Cedar Hills fireworks with Pete and Amanda!

    That’s just what we have pictures of… we went to the pool 3 times, to the library, had the hancocks spend the night, Jana to the RSL game with LaNell, dentist, orthodontist, a couple of bday parties, played Pickleball one morning, and watched a few pets for the neighbors! We are ready for another fun summer week!

    Igot to go to the USA Womens National Soccer game on Thursday night! Shannon is obsessed with the team and already had plans to go. Kelsey and I decided that we should be there. It was in Sandy at the RSL stadium so we met for dinner and then got to the game early. We were on the 5th row near midfield. Kel and I were supposed to sit down a couple of sections but we sat with Shannon and Tommi and the owners of our seats never came so we got to stay and all watch together. we had a blast!

     

      

    This picture below is Rapinoe taking the free kick that Morgan headed in fo rthe 1-0 Victory.

    After the game with Mewis and Rodriguez:

    Rose loved Mrs. Jolley! She loved going to school to see her teacher and her friends. She took Kitty for Movie day. She was awarded the Math Certificate for her class. They had a special RED CARPET DAY and Rose fancied herself up and then the teacher gave them each a special award: FUTURE PRESIDENT! 🙂

        

    Cali loved Mrs. Moore! She had a great 3rd grade year. She was awarded the Kindness award for her Class!

      

    Packer also loved his teacher. He had breezy year with Mr.Campbell. He didn’t have any home work but he enjoyed school. He just did all of his projects by himself!

    I forgot to take pictures of Benji. He actually got a few brainy awards and an attendance award and… He got straight A’s and had a great 7th grade year. On the last day of school he and Ryan and some new friends rode their bikes to Macey’s and spent all of the money that they had found during lunch hour throughout the year 🙂

    That last week of school  – – – we finished the chore chart at home and I got in a few more basketball games in our Provo league.

    Cali and Benji went to watch the Pleasant Grove Boys soccer team win state! And Cali and Rose went to the RSL game!

     

    These 2 ran around outside constantly – this time at Cougar and Briggs’ house:

    Mr. Funny man – bored at graduation:

    Kickball with Dad! cause he wasn’t at soccer practice!

    And lots of Barbies and Dolls 🙂

    Bring on SUMMER!
