June 3rd - A little excursion to Jensen's Grove with the boat. Randy and Jared love water skiing, Ryder and Molly like going fast and watching their daddies.
June 13 - Trip to Lava Hot Springs. It just happened on a Tuesday that Blake, Brian and Randy all had the day off. We decided to take a ride to Lava, we thought we were going to go the splash park and kid pool, but it didn't open until noon, so we just went over to the hot pools. It was a chilly, rainy day but we had a great time anyway. Poor Jared was the only one working that day, we missed him.
June 17th - Celebrated Clark's 2nd birthday. His birthday is on the 18th, but we celebrated on the 17th, he didn't seem to care. He loved the new cars, trucks and tractors that he got.
Other happenings on the 17th - riding Grandma Great's scooter, fixing a ramp at her house, riding the little 4wheeler around the yard, all boys wearing red shirts, wearing a helmet just in case you go on the 4wheeler, and roasting marshmallows.
While we were outside a dog named Norman came to visit. We found out later that he was a neighbors dog and got away from them. He was such a nice little dog. Clark and Annie loved him, Clark chased him, Annie held him. Molly wasn't so sure about him, but brought him a drink.
June 30 - Cindy and Ken surprised us by showing up! Blake and I were eating at Texas Roadhouse when I got a call that said "home". When I answered, Cindy said "where are you?" We hurried and ate and came home. She sent a group text with the picture on the top left and said who wants to come and play? Within two hours all the boys were there. It was great impromptu reunion. They brought some surprises for the kids, so we had to play with their toys and games. Such a fun, happy surprise.
We went outside and blew some bubbles.
The littles rode the trike.
Jared helped the little ones climb the tree, and Cindy tried to get to know them better. Clark wasn't sure about it, and wouldn't take a turn being lifted up, but Molly and Ryder loved it.
Annie and Molly love playing together, and everyone loves being with Grandpa. Dallin and Kayleen and Ryan and Samuel Leifson came to visit and had fun playing with the kids.
Cindy took care of her brothers eye brows for them, my sister Lynne and brother in law were here to visit too, we just visited and played. It was a great evening.
Dallin brought his spike ball game and it was a hit.
Maden played machine pitch baseball this year. They played at the beautiful Iona Park. I missed the 1st two games because I was at the Cayman's . I went to the rest of the games to watch Annie and Clark while Celia coached. Clark didn't like to leave Celia the first couple of times I was there, so I thought hard and finally decided to take my trike and coax him to me with it. It worked like a charm, by the end he would come running when he saw me with the trike.
The first game I went to was so cold! Courtney even had to wrap up in a blanket!
Maden got some pretty good hits, he has really improved since last year.
They played all the positions, changing every 2 innings. This was the only time I saw Maden play catcher. Annie, Molly, Clark and Ryder had a great time playing in the park. They loved running down this little hill.
Annie is so cute with Molly, taking her hand and helping her get up on the playground equipment. One game had a rain delay, Maden came and sat by me and said, "I'm a little annoyed with the rain." Then the rain stopped and they played in the mud. Clark and Molly loved dragging Annie around.
Cindy and Ken even got to see one game and they bought us a snow cone! I only got this one picture of Celia coaching. Grandpa even made it to the last game. It was a fun baseball season!
Now for some randomness. Just some everyday activities.
