June and July 2015 - We have been busy

 

Mayci lost her first tooth

we went to the local playhouse in Perry
and saw Big River
 

 4th of July in Deweyville

Doug, Misty and family came up for a
town Pancake Breakfast, parade and candy drop.

 

the scout troop places flags at our homes

the parade - we were "in charge" of organizing it

LOTS of candy thrown to the kids



Deweyville town shirts

the "candy drop"
John Thompson flew his plane over the park
multiple times and dropped parachutes of candy!
Really fun and every child caught at least one.

 

 

Heward's celebration

 

Saunders' celebration
 

We had the opportunity to go on our Stake TREK

and be "angels"

the kids had a TREK and pushed handcarts all over the mountain
in HOT, dry conditions.  A group of "angels" helped with the "women's pull"
along one section of the trail.  It was a very spiritual experience for all of us.

waiting in the trees along the trail for the first handcarts to come along

 

I went to Las Vegas with my friend, Karen Erickson
for a Kindergarten conference.





we stayed 4 nights at the Venetian/Palazzo Hotel
very nice!



our suite



we ate at lots of yummy, fun restaurants

 

we went to a show of "oldie Motown hits"
I loved it!

We had a great time with lots of talking and laughing.



Later in July we went on a short hike to a waterfall

 Doug & Misty's family

 Wes & Laurie

 

 scaling the waterfall...
and of course the girls wanted to climb too!

 

 

Strawberries planted
at the base of our newly re-painted windmill

Wes has put the chicken coop that he built into the shed

I love the ramp to the nests

our wonderful garden in Deweyville

Doug and Misty left on a trip and
the kids came to stay with Grandpa & Grandma!

we had FUN!

 

making houses out of furniture boxes

and painting them

mowing the lawns with Grandpa

driving the lawnmower

ALL the neighborhood kids came over to play!

even their dog came---

we went to get hay for the horses
(Lincoln is wearing his Dad's old shirt
that Grandpa Cole bought for Doug-memories!)

hard work but fun work

the 24th of July
Pioneer day
Taylor LOVES the flag on our lawn

we played Light Bright

"getting warm"
I didn't understand this one because Grandma was
Hot and needed the air conditioning.

Grandpa is a really dedicated swing pusher
and Taylor loves to swing.


Stacking our hay where the "new" shed will be

 

We went to another local play at the Old Barn in Collinston
Into The Woods
