Cast-free!

And the cast is off! It was a hot month to have to stay away from water but I think we'll make up for it between now and when school starts! Avery is still being really protective of her arm and won't use it but we're hoping she gets used to it soon. She keeps talking about it and saying "the good doctor help-a-my arm! And it's all better now!" The kids have been really cute with her and careful with her and her arm. She's such a cute girl and has been so good and patient through this whole thing!

Draper suspension bridge hike. It was so hot and the twins wanted to be carried most the way, but still worth it! Last year I about had a panic attack crossing this bridge and the kids still laugh about it...I blame it on that I didn't know it would shake and that it's so high up! This time I'm happy to say I was able to cross it fine and help Avery across who was a little scared (she's two so she has a good excuse 😉). Loving enjoying the outdoors as a family this summer! ❤️

Ice cream!

A cold, windy summer day yesterday called for some McDonalds play place time, happy meals, and of course ice cream cones!

Riverton Days parade

Tonight we went to the Riverton Days parade! It was hot but luckily we got a shaded spot.
Luke and Halle had fun collecting candy and were nice to share the candy with the twins. I think they had a lot of fun running around and driving for taffy :).
Asher loved playing in the dirt on the corner we were standing by. He would play in the dirt and then if something came by he was interested in he would run over (motorcycles, firetruck, train, horses) watch with us for a minute, and then run right back to the dirt.
Avery was very interested in the horses that came by and the princesses (Riverton City royalty). She also loves the bus and the train.





I love nights like these where we get to spend time together! Although we were hot and sweaty and had dust and dirt all over us from Asher playing in it we had a great time! Love this sweet family of mine ❤️❤️❤️.

Summer shenanigans!

Asher bonked his head and was sad so my kids came up with idea of drawing a face on the watermelon and making him a "watermelon guy" to cheer Asher up 😂. It worked! Asher wouldn't look at the camera but his tears were gone. Loving these lazy summer mornings and having my older two home. They play so cute with the twins! 😊

Last day of 3rd grade

Leaving for the last day of 3rd grade!






Luke's class had a graduation program. They each got an award and there was a end of the year slide show. Luke got the "Go with the Flow" award because his teachers said he's always so laid back and agreeable to go along with whatever is happening in class. I think that's a great award!


Here Luke is with his teachers. His English teacher, Mrs. Hoyt, and his Chinese teacher, Mrs. Kou. Both teachers were great, Mrs. Hoyt is young and spunky and fun, Mrs. Kou is very nice and sweet and cares so much about the students. Luke really loved Mrs. Kou. You can tell she cares so much about the kids and Luke said she never got mad. We are lucky to have such great teachers! Even though you can't tell here, Luke was pretty sad to have to say goodbye to them. But he will make sure to go and say hi lots to them next year. He still goes and says hi to his first and second grade teachers and they love that he does that. He always gets attached to his teachers and likes to keep in touch with them.



His award






From Luke's yearbook



This was a writing assignment he brought home and I thought it was fun to read.


The kids worked so hard this year I wanted to give them a little end of the year gift. So I got them each a book they had been wanting to read to read over the summer, a sticker book to do when they are bored, and one more item i thought they'd like.


Luke with his books and the salt rock night light I got him. He really likes rocks so I thought he would like this.


The note I wrote him.


I'm proud of Luke and excited to have him home all summer! Can't believe my Lukey guy is almost a 4th grader! 😭
