JUNE

One of the craziest Months of the year. Started off VERY slow. Denali got very sick, we went to the doctor and he throw up in my hands. He had thrown up so much that morning it was just bio at that time. He was skin and bones after 3 days of being sick. Lot of Lilo and Stitch and VERY little sleep, for the three of us.

Colvin on the other has done really well with his new ear plugs. He did not care for them the first few bath but they are so cute. Colvin wants to walk so bad. He just wants to keep up with Denali.

Samantha got baptized. I need to be a better mom about, using experiences like this as learning opportunities for the boys. It was kind of crazy because we had Tink and Drex for the Baptism. Sonya went to the culture celebration with the older two. We left all the kids, (4) with Tana, to go the celebration after the baptism. When we got to Provo it was raining so hard. The roads looked like rivers. Sonya put out a blanket to save seats and it was drenched.  The culture celebration was delayed 1.5 hours but the show will go on. It ended up being great. The theme was be happy. At the end the kids made a rainbow, with their tee-shirts. The kids were so good at Tana’s. Cory and Colvin were good friends. Denali would not come to me till after fireworks were done when we went to pick him up. I went to hug him hi and he said, “move mom out way warework" Drex came and snuggled then feel asleep on me.

The next day Greg had to work, during the Temple dedication. I dropped the boys off at Sonya’s and almost missed it. I forgot you had to be in your seat 30 min early. I ran into the church with my shoes half on. It was wonderful!

Hot weather=water. I did not put the boys in swim lessons this year. I just wanted to go swimming with them once a week. We went to the Spanish Fork pool and Denali Loved the slide. He even went down once by himself, he did not love it. At the Springville pool they would not let him down the slide, he was not happy. The boys have loved our kiddy pool. Colvin loves doing anything with Denali. I was told by the boys that I needed to stop and splash with them. I loved splashing with their little feet. I meet up with Timber and we went to a rope swing. My boys cried the whole time but it is about getting out and making memories. The rope swing was scary and fun.

Greg invited us to a flag ceremony at his work. It was great food, but I get really shy around new people. Greg loves showing off his family. I sliced my foot on a tin can. According to Greg I should have gotten stitches. There was a lot of blood.

We went to Moms for our anniversary and Greg's father day (see other post). As we were loading up Duke ran away. He came back after we left. Sonya took him for the week. We stopped at Sierra to pick up the kids. Denali was not happy that we stopped and was not at papas. The kids had a blast together. Mom ran throw the sprinklers with them. Sierra came to be with mom, why Greg and I were gone. Sierra made Colvin the cutest girl, mom took care of their hair why we were gone. Looks good but sad no pic yet! Denali was all about his dad when we got back. Colvin was my monkey.  Mom thought it was sad they reverted back when we got home. (I guess they were both really good why we were gone)  

I chopped off my hair. I needed a big changed, it was prefect. No before and after sorry!

Funny story; I went on a run and when we got back the car would not start. I had to wait all day for Greg to get home. When we got it started I took it for a drive. Greg called to exclaim Bubbles (the cat) was having kittens. We raced home and she had had 3 on the landing. We moved them to her box. We went to the Manti Pageant. It was wonderful, just what I needed. A major spiritual boost. Colvin loved the music and fought so hard before he succumbed to sleep. Denali was tired but did not succumb to sleep till on the way home. When we got home Bubbles was done having kitten, she ended up with 7. Denali loves them and has been very gentle. Colvin wants to play in the box with them. 

**Future Daughters: It is your responsibility to make your husband the man of your house. It is up to you to tell your kids how much their daddy does for them. When they ask were is daddy you tell them that he is at work so that mommy can be with them. Tell them he loves them so much he is willing to work soooooo hard. You make your boys understand their responsibility as a man to provide. Make your daughters understand that they are to elevate their man, you do the same.

 **Gregs mom is looking and doing wonderful. I just hope it is not the calm before the storm.
