June Fun!

Have I mentioned how much I love summer? I love all the big fun things we get to do but there are so many little moments that I cherish as well. We always love celebrating David and our fathers on Father's Day! I love that each of the kids tries to do something special for him.

Whether it's spoiling him with one of his favorite candies...

or giving him a sweet picture, the kids love sharing good times with their dad.

We also decked him out with some new O's gear!

This summer a family in the other ward decided to put on a science camp, with several sessions throughout the summer that focused on nature, the earth, water, and animals. I thought it would be a perfect way for Noah to get outside for a few hours, learn some new things, and spend time with his friends. He had such a fabulous time each time he went!

Savannah and the other young women continued to prepare for camp. This particular week they made the boat for our ward skit.

The sweet Activity Day girls made each of our young women a first aid kit to take to camp!

Noah and I practiced our drawing from time to time...

though Noah is MUCH more talented than I am!

He was also my little buddy in the kitchen. This time we made banana bread!

One of my best friends is a manager at a neighborhood pool so we were able to get in an afternoon of swimming with our friends. The kids loved the diving board!

Savannah's birthday party this year was a lunch date at Panera and seeing a movie with 5 of her closest friends - Mary, Emily, Michaela, and Celine.

Savannah has also decided that Taco Bell is one of the greatest places to eat, ha ha, and since it's one of the cheapest as well I had no problem taking her there on a Mother/Daughter date.

We hit Rita's a ton! There were a couple fundraisers for Savannah's soccer team...

we met up with our favorite Sister Horn when she came back to Maryland for a visit with her parents...

and plenty of other times when we just needed a cool treat. But can you blame us? Rita's is just so dang yummy!!

We also enjoyed some beautiful evening walks as a family.

And look who made it in the paper? Our little Noah and his "Fly Guys" from Cub Scout Day Camp! That's Noah, front and center!
