A lot of June was spent going to the park here in Utah for lunch. The Utah Food Bank started a new program this summer for any kids ages 18 and under who could get a free lunch at the local park at the Spanish Fork Library. So I often took the kids down to play and then eat free lunch at the park before heading home for afternoon naps/quiet time. It was a great schedule!
Rick also spent countless hours at his rotation and then another countless hours towards studying for his board exams. Sometimes this medical journey is just exhausting! I feel like that is a major understatement, haha. But he is one amazing guy and if anyone can do it, I know it's him. He has worked so hard for our little family and he often reminds me that I'm working hard too, and I love him so much for that.
Here are some pictures from June 2016:
 |
Me and Dawson were walking down the stairs
by the guest house and I almost stepped on a snake,
with bare feet! I thought I saw something move
and so I skipped a step and then the automatic light
came on and we saw a snake! |
 |
| Then Dawson proceeded to kill it with an ax.... |
 |
I think this was after my cousin, Catherine's, wedding
up in Bountiful, Ut. Between the sealing and reception
we went to Carl's Jr to let the kids play and get some food. |
 |
| Love this view of Maple Mountain |
 |
| Brenna loves sitting in the empty laundry bins! |
 |
| She loves the water! |
 |
| We spent some time at the SF splash pad. |
 |
| Brenna getting her planks in, haha. |
 |
| Visiting BYU |
 |
| This was the summer lunch program I mentioned. |
 |
This is has been one of my favorite views since I can remember.
I used to sit out on the hill in our front yard when I was young,
with my colored pencils, and sketch this view countless times.
Someday, I'm sure it will be torn down and houses in its place,
so I had to enjoy the view again while we were living in Utah. |
 |
Garrett went through this phase of being obsessed
with wearing goggles. Not just when we were playing
in the water, but all around the house, all of the time. |
 |
| Starting to get mobile! |
 |
| Sibling hugs! |
 |
| At the Bean Museum |
 |
| Another sunset picture... they are my favorite thing. |
 |
Zach and I took the four-wheelers out for a ride one evening.
The picture doesn't do it justice on how amazing the view was! |
 |
This dead-end road has been so fantastic to
have right outside the backyard. We have gone
up and down this road so many times on bikes,
scooters, and in the bike trailer. |
 |
| Stopping for a drink break. |
 |
More summer time water fun with cousins!
Garrett & Luke with Kimbri in the back. |

| Kimbri & Garrett |
 |
| Boys will be boys... haha! |
 |
| Garrett, Luke & Kimbri |
 |
I love that Garrett and Luke got to know each other
better, living in Utah for a year. They begin great
little buddies! |
 |
Kimbri doing tricks... and she loves getting
her picture taken. |
 |
| View from the room we stayed in at my parents'. |
 |
Haircuts!! Kimbri loved it but it took major
convincing to get Garrett in the chair. I normally
cut the boys' hair but we decided to go somewhere
cheap and all get haircuts (minus Brenna). |
 |
| Brenna is getting so mobile! |
