Yes I am really going to catch up my summer "journal"/blog in 3 posts! Here's to the June edition! We have the best Dad on the planet! Happy belated Father's Day!
Mikelle decided she wanted to play the flute like Aunt Annis and others. Summer band started the first week in June.
At the end of the 3 weeks of daily instruction, AF High School Marching Band surprised them at their performance. It was very inspirational to see (hear) what can happen to our little babies if they will just practice, practice, practice their instruments!
Mikelle on stage performing their numbers they worked on.
Yes we were on the front row to support her!
I think there were only 8 flute spots available and Mikelle and her friends snatched at least 5 of them by being the first to sign up! Yeah!!
Mikelle is very determined once she sets her mind to something. She made her own appointment to see the Bishop for her temple recommend so she could start doing baptisms for the dead. She went many summer mornings before the crack of dawn and took friends with her when they wanted to go. Steve was even able to baptize her one of the early mornings.
It is WONDERFUL to have a temple so close!
The first 3 weeks of June were filled with rainy days which was nice in a way but made us all stir crazy after a while! The kids were good to set up their own obstacle courses in the basement to keep entertained some days!
The karate moves come in handy!
Kennedy is turning out to be quite the little sporty girl!
The rain kind of put a damper on using our Lagoon and 7-Peaks Season passes as much as we would have liked to. No passes next year--just a little 12 ft pool like all of the neighbors did this year! Sounds more relaxing to just stay home and enjoy for a year!
The Dimond fishing day trip was a lot of fun and a huge success for many lucky Dimonds (me not being one of those:(
Uncle Dave, Amy and others were a huge help! Thank you!!
They were so yummy the next day!
Kennedy had her final dance recital at the Covey Center for the Arts which was beautiful! She informed us that this would be her final dance recital as she is dropping out since the costumes as SO ITCHY!! I have no idea where she might get this from!:):) She wants to resume gymnastics!
We all love family gatherings during the summer at the "Megaplex" (inside joke) where we can enjoy the beautiful summer nights, conversation, and get our fill of Aidan and Dottie (and everyone else of course:)
The girls had summer gymnastics with our friends! Why didn't I start more carpools much earlier in life?? They are heavenly!!
We tried to leave notes for our sweet POP to encourage and cheer him on after many, many long hours at work! He would often not get home until midnight from board meetings! He is so looking forward to a vacay in January!! I guess that it about it for June! See you tomorrow for July:)

What a month. I'm tired from just reading about all of the things you did.
I am laughing so hard about the itching. That would be something Char would say. I feel bad we didn't really come down to see you this summer. It just went so fast!
Keep it coming for July!
I like the last picture with the rose petals. What happened next. :) Love the month catch up. You guys are always involved in fun stuff and helping the kids to succeed at their interests. Well done!
Wow. Mikelle is a go-getter! :) That is awesome. Looks like a ton of fun!
That is so funny that Kennedy decided that would be her last dance recital. You would think 4 year-olds would be more persuadable, but no! I know how that goes. Good for Mikelle - getting her temple recommend and doing the flute - I can't wait to hear her - maybe a special Christmas number at the family get-together? If she does baptisms on Thursdays my dad is in the baptistry.
