June's Cliff Notes

So, while Benjamin went to Scout camp- I took the boys to visit our family in New Mexico. We had a great visit there! It's pretty cool that all my sisters live there now- so I can see them all together. Anyways- as I was looking at a picture I colored in elementary school on my Mom's fridge- and a hamburger I made in 7th grade Art class hanging on the kitchen wall- and countless other kid projects from my Mom's 7 kids hung all around- I decided we needed an intervention :) Michelle, Rebe, Bryan & I (with Dad's consent, help & credit card :) took everything off the walls, refrigerators, counters & desks in the kitchen & living room. We painted- threw away almost everything- bought new towels, table runners, clocks, frames & some more decor. and did a makeover for my Mom- while she played with my boys (For 2 days! ) Anyways, this just shows a small portion- but it looked so good- and no, I didn't take a before picture- darn! We love you Mom- & we still know you love us without all out projects around :)

A high school friend get together. Erin, Kim, Misa & me. I hadn't seen Erin in 2 years, Kim in 5 & Misa in 10! Still we gabbed & gabbed like no time had passed.

Happy Father's Day! Benjamin is a FABULOUS Dad & we had a great day celebrating him. If I have time I'll post a hilarious father's day video by Jacob.

Family Night with Uncle Brian, cousin Cedric & Aunt Jill! So nice to have them here.

The honorary couple enjoying floats! I had to laugh at my Father-in-law's response to a question I asked them. "What's your favorite thing about each other?" Him "That she's a woman." When it comes right down to it- that's very true :)

Backyard BBQ's- A Family One to Celebrate G&G Fillmore's Anniversary (these are the cool older boy cousins) & a neighborhood one- I don't have any pics. of.

Playdates with Friends- they're playing "Family."
