3rd Week of June

We had a fun eventual 3rd week of June.  Here are some highlights.

Steve finished adding the hardware to our new vanity.  The new one is wonderful!  It's a lot taller/higher up, which is great!  The color is beautiful of the wood and the granite top.  It definitely makes it feel more "adult-like" in our bathroom.

Old vanity vs New one.

The pears and peaches are growing great on our trees.  We also have a few Dianthus flowers coming in.

Steve has many talents.  One of them is the ability to push a large shopping cart, with groceries, and with 3 kids hanging on it.  Good work Steve!  The boys also won FREE Helmets!

Baby Hudson has learned to move to get things.

Cute Piper asleep on her bed.  Too tired to chew her bone.  

It's so hot these days, so the boys wanted to jump on the trampoline w/ water balloons.

More pretty Dianthus in bloom and our Stargazer Lilies are in bloom and another beautiful flower in the backyard I can't remember the name of.

We hit ANOTHER record w/ hot heat here.  It is definitely HOT, especially so early in the Summer.  We also haven't received much rain/snow over this year, so we're already worried about fires, yikes.

We went to Thanksgiving Point Wednesday evening to the Butterfly Biosphere.  There were lots of exhibits about bugs.  The boys trying to move a poo ball like a dung beetle does.  A huge green bug, the boys playing w/ the lady bugs, looking at an ant close up, and Carter riding a caterpillar. 

Pretending to be in a cocoon, then we went into the butterfly exhibit.  There were pretty butterflies flying around everywhere.  Besides being really hot in there, it was really cool to see.

I was trying to get a picture of the pretty blue butterflies, but they were so fast I didn't get one while flying.  Here are some other pretty butterflies and flowers we saw.

Cool butterflies getting some orange juice, and Nyles and Carter dressed up as bees.

The boys wanted to get an ice cream when we were done, so we did.

Another beautiful Lily in bloom this week.

I ordered a 1000 piece puzzle that looks like Legos in paint jars.  It was pretty fun!

Carter has been going to Summer Camp at his preschool.  Each week is a different theme.  This week was Safari theme.  Carter's friend Colin (striped blue shirt) is there w/ him so he's having a great time!

I took Friday off work so Steve could go camping w/ the boys before Father's Day.  Well they aren't allowing camp fires (outside of designated campgrounds), so they decided to change course and go up to the cabin instead.  Two of the neighborhood boys and their dads went as well.  They decided to leave Thursday evening so they would be ready to fish early on Friday.  Steve, Nyles, Carter and our neighbor Ryan Brinkerhoff and his son Jace (Nyles' age) drove up to the cabin Thursday evening.  Dave and Joann came up Friday morning w/ his boat so they could go fishing.

Cute Hudson is enjoying Pirates Booty as a snack, so he was excited to buy more at the store.  He doesn't care which way his binky goes in his mouth (side-ways, upside down), as long as it's in his mouth he's happy :)  Hudson and I went to the store and he wanted to try on my sunglasses.  

Hudson, Piper and I had a fun time together while the boys were gone.  Hudson loves his baths and naps.  I also found a new hair turban towel at the store, score!  My other one we got from Grandma Hegerhorst over 15 years ago broke and was a little well used.

I love to see the flowers in blooms and fruit trees growing.

Friday afternoon, our other neighbor, Steve Lovell and his son Tyler came up to the cabin as well.  They went out fishing and shot BB guns.  They had a lot of fun!

The boys got back Saturday just before Noon.  That afternoon we went swimming at Draper Pool.  We're so happy it's open again and the new rec center connected to it is open as well.  

It was a lot of fun!

Sunday was Father's Day.  The boys made Steve a "tie" in Primary and listed things they love about him.  I'm so thankful for Steve as my eternal companion, and as the father to our boys.  He is so loving and is a great example to them.

A quick family picture.

Baby Hudson also turned 10 months old on Sunday the 20th. He's been busy this past month. He finally got his 4 teeth up front and now the bottom one came through as well. He also figured out how to move around in the floor. Nothing is safe now We love his happy, easy going attitude. He brings so much joy to our family.

That evening we went up to Melanie's house for family dinner.  We had tacos for dinner and sang to the June birthdays (Jeff, Ryan, Carter and Olivia).  It was great to be together again.

Baby Hudson is on the move!

I made Piñata Cupcakes, which have lots of sprinkles inside ;)

We then had a Piñata outside for the kids.

Great quotes.
