Part one of June

What makes the last day of school super cool? If your birthday is on that day! My sweet/crazy/funny Oakley turned the big 7 on June 3rd which happened to be the last day of school. Can't you see in her face below that she is super excited to be done with school??? She did have the coolest teacher Mrs.Buttars. If you went to High School with me then you just might know that cool chick!

Oakley was spoiled on her birthday, and the whole weekend! I made Hello Kitty pops for her class. She had not one, but 2 birthday cakes. My favorite was the kit kat cake. Super easy to make!!! She loves Justin Bieber (although she will never admit it in front of her brother). Our family spoiled her like crazy! Some of my favorite things about Oakley are: she is so loving, she likes to sleep in like her mommy, she always gives hugs and tells us she loves us all the time. She is a great kid! She had a friend birthday party at the pool and we were so excited that Matt was in town for her birthday!!

Parker and Taylor were also excited to finish up school and start their summer break. I can't believe that next year I will have a 2nd, 4th, and 6th grader. Ack! I am feeling like I should be old!

June has been a great month for us. Lots of change, lots of running around. I love all the exciting things that are in store for our family!!







Part two of June

I love when the weather FINALLY warms up and we are able to get out and enjoy what Utah has to offer. We took the kids up to Donut Falls for a hike. It was beautiful, but we didn't expect to see snow up there in the end of June!!! Only in Utah:) There was so much water from the snow coming down that it had flooded the trail. So we weren't able to make it up all the way, but it was beautiful!

Then we continued up the canyon to Silver Lake. The kids planned on doing a little fishing. Again, SNOW!! This time it was covering the path around the lake. Crazy stuff to see people wearing flip flops and sliding and falling in the snow. The kids had a great time fishing and I had a fabulous time catching some rays:)
