summer in full swing


be warned this is long blog, lots happening and lots to share for this first month of summer

first we need to back up a bit. BEFORE riley's birthday at the beginning of june lucy had her first dance program. she got all glittered up in a purple tutu and twirled on stage. she loved every minute of it...and i gotta say it was pretty darn cute.


then we had the last day of school respectively for each kid. as i do on the first day i like to take a picture of the kids on the last day of school....helps me see how much they've grown in a school year when i compare it to the first day.


lucy's pre-school had a little graduation ceremony complete with a tea party. several of the kids in her class are off to kindergarten next year. she still has another year of pre-school but enjoyed the pomp nonetheless.


riley was so excited to be done with school...not because he had a bad year, if fact he thrived this year..... but mostly he justed wanted to be home because his cousins were out visiting from Denver and that is WAY more fun than school!!

todd's brother chris and his kids brendan and megan came out for a visit. chris stayed for part of the week and the kids spent the whole week with us. my kids were over the moon to have their big cousins around to play with.

they did a little hiking


tried some stand-up paddle boarding



the dad's celebrated father's day together


went strawberry picking and then came home and made some jam



more hiking...this time to some falls


spent a day at the beach


all in all a wonderful week.....we hope they come visit us again soon!
