Wyoming Trip

My parents decided it was time to get rid of their HUGE silver maple tree out of their front yard. It was too sappy and the roots were overtaking the yard. So us kids went down to help chainsaw, move logs, and move branches. It took a whole day to get it cut down. Then the next morning we went and dumped all the branches. I even used a chainsaw for the first time. 










Em watching her virtual graduation from Preschool. 

Daran braiding hair. Em has this guy tied around her little finger. :) 

Beyblades fun. Let it ripe!

After my parents home, we followed my sister to her home and spend another 4-5 days with her. We had a blast and did so much! 

Boating and playing at the water. 




Art and crafts

Trying on Darans uniform. 


Finding a bunny, feeding it, and then burying it when it didn't live. 


Getting pockets in our jacket. Thanks Aunt May! 

Repelling. The kids had a blast! All of them went down at least once. After some freak out times Ms M really enjoyed it. Mayo even went more than once! Good for her! 







Hiking around Vedauwoo after repelling. RB LOVED IT! This is his kind of hiking where you climb the rocks and blaze your own trail. 

Playing with toys. Aunt May has so many cool toys! 
"I love that thing"-Ms M



Hidden Falls Trail hike. We took a detour on the way back and added a mile or two, but what's new. We do that often on hikes. :) 







Happy Fathers Day RB! We love you so much! 


What might Buddy Boy be doing in a field sitting in a mini car? 

Oh, just flying a kite. 

Cousin fun. 

Down time with Uncle Daran. 



May and I love playing Over Cooked on the switch. We made sure we found time to play. :) 

June

These five are my life! They bring so much joy and happiness into our home! I love them so much! 

I'm a sucker for these sleeping pictures. :) We had to tell Ms M not to latch it under her neck anymore. Cute? yes! dangerous? Yes. So no more latching it. 

One game of psych Em put emojis for the entire game. She won! What a silly girl!


She graduated from Upstart preschool too. We had to do the graduation ceremony virtually but that is ok. She got a shirt, button, graduation cap, a book, certificate, pencil, and it all came in the mail which was really exciting. 


Trampolines make good forts. 

Spoons are overrated. Just use the lid. 

We have been to Willard Bay a few times. We took our neighbors once and some friends another time. Man we really love that place!





We went to Bear Lake once for a coworkers birthday. The waves were huge! We didn't stay long because it was cold and windy too. We did get wet though and had fun jumping the waves like at the ocean. It was better though because it's not salt water, and there was no undertow pulling at you. 

Swimming at the friends home. 

We went for a four-wheeling ride with our friends. We got to the top and there was snow. So of course the kids had to start a snow fight. :) We also found a natural water spring. IT WAS FREEZING! So of course we got in and had fun playing in it!







When Em was born to 5 years later. 


We have been getting some crazy weather. First this hail storm which left big hail. Then a random rain storm while we were having a fire. The last one was one crazy thunder burst which shook the homes. Just one too. It was awesome, and my doorbell camera does not do it justice.
