Another Fun Month

June is almost over. Summer is flying by and we had a fun, exciting month!

We had Girl's Camp in St George this year at Grandma Liston's new house. 30 girls, leaders, (and two men thanks Russell) enjoying life down south.

We went cliff jumping!

 We went to the St George Temple to do Baptisms for the Dead

We went to the Cedar City Temple for a quick stop

We played at Sand Hollow

 Eliza Kayaking

 Me floating on my floaty, it took a lot of energy blowing that thing up! But totally worth it.

We climbed around the Pioneer Park in St George

We played at the pool one day

We went to Gunlock Falls for a picnic

Eliza gave girl's camp two thumbs up

We also got to see The Little Mermaid at the Tuacahn.

This was us wading across Gunlock falls to eat our picnic on the rocks. The best place for lunch. Girl's camp was really amazing this year. We had so much fun, got to have great experiences and enjoyed our ward girls.

 Jack got to spend a week in St George with Grandma and Grandpa Liston and the Phillips' Family. They found a fun splash pad and Jack got munched by a dinosaur.

 Jack went fishing with Jace and Luke

The cousins enjoyed Grandma's new hot tub.

 Jack and Jace got to go on a mountain bike ride

 Aiden is lifeguarding again this year, and he likes to wear the lifeguard jacket like pants.

 Jack is doing swim team again this year. He is getting ready for the big race.

Jack and I went to the Orem Parade together. Eliza went with friends and Russell and Aiden stayed home this year. I am glad Jack will still play with me.

 I decided to take the kids to Lagoon one day. It had been years since we had been and Russell hates it so we left him home to work and the four of us went and had a wild time. Jack and Aiden waiting for a ride, somebody had just thrown up on it so they had to wait for it to be cleaned.

I almost threw up on Eliza on the Colossus, but she still loves me.

My three amazing kids.

Jack and Aiden were willing to ride anything, Eliza and I were a little more picky. I did however go on almost everything and got sick to prove it.

 Jack and Aiden and Russell went to scout camp at Flaming Gorge. 

Jack fished

He spear fished

 He caught crawdads with Cole. He loved it, I am not sure what Aiden did.

But I know he was there.

May 2019

We were busy in May! Some weeks we would have six soccer games, and a track meet, not to mention church responsibilities, end of school year activities and remodeling our master bathroom. Some how we survived and had a great time doing it all.

Aiden did a great job running the 400 in track this year. He really loved it.

His 4x400 relay team took third place in the Regional Track meet.

Jack and Russell went on a father son outing to a crawdad boil at a restaurant in Pleasant Grove. They were so happy eating all of those little guys.

And playing with the claws!

They even roasted an alligator on a spit. The boys did not eat it, but I think if it had been ready they would have tried some.

Aiden went to Spring Fling. He had such a fun time with Sydney, they went to Color Me Mine and painted mugs, had a delicious dinner at 7 Brothers and danced the night away at the dance. 

 Jack took second in the 5th grade boys race at school. His third year in a row taking second.

 We had our traditional party at the bus stop on the last day of school. Treats, water balloons and wild excitement. Bring on summer!

Russell and I have gotten out on a few hikes, but with the bathroom remodel not as many as we would like.

My shoes matched the flowers on one trail.

 We also had a little Memorial Day dinner with the Jaussi family. It sure is fun hanging with my sisters.
