June Happenings

June was busy as always.  The first week I was busy helping with all of the field days and end of school parties.

 Tucker loved getting out so much with "the big kids".

 I found this cute note in Tommy's backpack.  I love to hike and I'm always having to hype it up to get the kids excited so I thought it was extra cute that after his amazing first two months that he wanted to go hiking.

We started summer off with a work party at Heise.

 Tommy was proud to be able to help with mowing the yard this summer.  I did all the edges and then let him do the inner part.

 We had a crazy hail storm with some pretty big ice balls!

 Vic got spoiled on Father's Day

 Our kids have wild imaginations and the boys are so good at playing along with Whitney and her endless dress up games.

We went up to the cabin to get an early start on playing on the lake.

 We bought a brand new jetski!  It is way better than the old one and we are so happy with it!

 Whitney loves standing up in the tube.

 It took the kids quite awhile before they would jump off the end of the slide instead of going down it.  Tommy was the first to attempt it and then Whitney did.  Tucker decided the slide was enough for him.

 Tommy tried Whitney's standing up trick, but could never let go with both hands.

 We need 3 adults to load the jetskis and only had 2 of us so Tommy got to drive by himself.  He was pretty proud.

 Proof I was there too!

 This picture cracks me up.  Tucker is our little ambidextrous writer.  He writes his name and letters with the same skill level on both hands and often switches back and forth during coloring.  Today he decided to multi task and color at the same time!

 It's not camping without s'mores!

 I was activity days leader and planned a daddy/daughter date for the girls so our family decided to have a full family date.

 When all the girls arrived I sent them off to walk a mile around the park with their dad and complete 6 stations.  One of the stations was getting pictures with your dad.

 Other stations were playing frisbee without dropping it 10 times, drawing each other, ball throwing contest, quiz time, & yoga posing stations.  Here is our yoga poses:

 When everyone got back we had refreshments and a couple of races.

Here is the three legged race.  Vic tried to go to fast and made Tommy fall at the beginning...

 Tucker and I did really good and placed around the top 3... there was a lot of chaos so not sure where!

Whitney got to go on another Daddy/Daughter date to the circus a few weeks later.

Vic and I were also busy coaching Tommy & Whitney's baseball team all June and Vic was on a team.  It was a BUSY month!
