What was up in June 2016 according to my iPhone

 June went by in a whirlwind and before we knew it, it was July!  Our pool finally got finished so needless to say we have been swimming in the back yard a lot.  When we do, this is where you will find Brutus: right next to the pool in the shade.  Trying to stay cool in the extreme heat.
 June means sleeping in and lots of snuggle time with these two.
 It has also meant walking at Cooper with this guy when my mom was unavailable.  Brady is training for a triathlon with a friend.  
 My little brother and his cute wife made me an aunt again.  This is sweet little Brooks.  We kind of like him in case you can't tell.











 This is some random picture I had on my phone from my favorite fellow.  
 This mad me laugh.

 Kiki go there braces off.

 We have been trying to bust out Personal Progress.  Both girls are SO close we can almost taste it.



 And we have been trying to be patient about this guy coming home to us.  Can't wait to hug his neck.


 We got a new trampoline among other things.  Brent and Brady added a basketball hoop to make it extra fun.

 I can pretty much get this girl to run any errand with me with the promise of Chick fil a.
 She especially had fun with Hailey, Kennedy, and Alivia in Provo at EFY.










 And Reagan went to her friend Alexa's lake house with her and some other girls for Alexa's 15th birthday.  She had so much fun.  




 Snuck out for a movie with this guy.  The Shallows.  It was pretty good!

 This is how I roll most of the summer.  Give me a good book, a cold drink, and a pool and I am happy.

 We celebrated Brady's birthday with some friends

 and with a yard sign

 and then a party at Hawaiian Falls with his three best friends that were in town.  (Some were out of town).  They had Hokulia shaved ice in lieu of a cake per the birthday boy's request.
 More fun with the twins at In and Out.  I think this was after Sheri and I had picked them up from Six Flags.





 And that same night Sheri and I joined with some other wonderful ladies to celebrate our sweet pal, Lisa's, birthday.
 I love spending time with this kid.  She makes me laugh.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
