June Happenings!

End of the school year for these 3rd and 6th graders!  Josh didn't want to go the last day because "we aren't going to do anything and no one is going to be there," so I never got a last day of school pic of him, much to his disappointment-HA.  But here's my two school lovers who DID want to go to the last day of school...





My oldest niece GRADUATED from HIGH SCHOOL which seems crazy because I swear she was just a little adorable three year old hanging out with me in my BYU dorm!  I am super proud of her and all she's accomplished and I know she'll love college at Utah State in the fall!



We went to dinner after the my alfredo was HUGE and yummy!  No, I didn't eat it all...
Best buds...
Tyce is doing swim team outside in the evenings in the summer and it's been so nice because often times he's the only one there!  He's gotten lots of one on one which has been good for him...
Evening basketball with daddy...



Parker and I celebrated our 15th anniversary on the 6th!  Our big celebration will be Hawaii in September so we decided to go to dinner at The Roof which is where Parker took me the night he proposed.


Our view...


Dribbling practice with daddy...

Tyce has gotten really into basketball and so badly wants to improve.  The other night he was out playing until 10pm!


Well, this is a good place for my leg...
Josh being silly...

 Poor Tyce came back from scout camp with SUCH puffy eyes from his allergies...
But sounds like he had a great time!  A friend sent me these pictures and he came home on cloud nine thinking scouts is the coolest thing ever!







The next morning, after Benadryl AND allergy meds! 
Tyce, ready for  his first basketball game! 
 I forgot to get pics of his first game but he was hilarious, cute, and scored a few baskets which he was thrilled about.  Parker is his coach and he LOVES that.
 Tyce asked me if he could have some friends over for night games.  I told him he could if he did all the planning and ran the games.  He made his own invitations (hand wrote all 7 of them!) and delivered them...
 And they had a great time!
 I LOVE Tyce's outgoing social leader personality.  He's always looking for a good time to be had with friends and he always makes sure everyone is included and having fun.
 What does my smarty pants boy do during sacrament meeting?  Four digit by four digit multiplication of course!
 LOVE when all three snuggle together...

One night Kesti and I were on a bike ride and I came home to Tyce having put the clothes in the dryer AND folded them!  It made my day!  I told him how happy it made me and how I had been thinking on my bike ride how much I wasn't looking forward to coming home and folding all those clothes.  I said, do you think it was the Holy Ghost that prompted you to do that for me?  He replies, "no, I'm pretty sure it was me that thought of it BUT I think the Holy Ghost made me feel good that I did it."  Hahaha.  Love that kid.

End of May!

We have sure gotten our money's worth on the basketball hoop we bought when we moved here.  It is played on every day for hours!  Love it!


Snuggles on the couch with my man and my Ty Ty!
Flag football season is over!  They ended with all wins except one loss and one tie.  The twins had a great time and are pretty sad it's the last time they'll be able to play since they'll be in 7th grade next year!  They both want to play tackle in the fall, we'll see...




 Grandma and Grandpa Morrill surprised us at the game...WITH A NEW DOG!!!  Meet Lincoln!  The boys were beyond excited and now look even MORE forward to going out to Neola because they can play with Lincoln!
We had our end of the season pool party for the team...


Jack just mowing in his swim suit!  Why not...
 Tyce lost his other front tooth!!!!  He is now totally toothless in front!

 His note to the tooth fairy cracked me up, he wants to "examine it" hahaha...
Dentist cleanings! 


 They all got glowing reviews from the dentist, no cavities, minimal plaque, and so well behaved.  What more could I ask for?!
I don't think they realized they were dressed so similar but I grabbed a picture because I thought it was so cute...
They had their 6th grade "graduation" and Josh got an attendance award (he only missed ONE day all year!), gold honor roll (straight A's every quarter), President's fitness award, and some others.  I was so proud of him!
 His teacher made him this which I thought was super cute...

 Jack got the silver honor roll award (only because he doesn't turn his assignments in, it was a battle all year!) and the President's Fitness award.


Jack and Gannon...
 We all met up at Ruth's Diner for Tegan's BIRTHDAY!!!  I love this family so much!
All the cousins minus the Oregon ones who we always miss!

 Tegan likes salads now which is kinda a big deal...
 This kid loves his wings...
 Birthday girl and her oldest nephew, who is almost as tall as her...
Parker and I headed to Jackson Holy, Wyoming for his firm's annual Memorial Day retreat!  It was our third year going and I love it more every time.  It is SO gorgeous and relaxing!

We love the Four Seasons and think every hotel should be just like it  :) 
 The view from our room...


It was gorgeous on Saturday so I slept in, went to the gym, then headed to the pool to wait for Parker who had training in the morning. 
 Poolside burger, life is great at the Four Seasons...

 Sunday was rain, wind, thunder, and lightning so we spent a lot of time relaxing in our room which just felt heavenly!  I love that Parker is so easy going, he's always up for an adventure or he's totally fine being lazy all day.  We certainly needed this time together...
I was hoping to see the mama bear and her cubs that everyone else seemed to see but, no luck.  We did see a moose!
We  had late nights playing games with some friends which wore Parker out...
 Watching the NBA finals (Parker), reading (me), and enjoying our gorgeous room and gorgeous view...
We passed the Star Valley temple and it is BEAUTIFUL!  I love the contrast of the white and green!
While we were relaxing in the beauty of Wyoming the boys were enjoying time in Neola with Grandma and Grandpa Morrill!

Drive in movie, one of their FAVORITE things to do out there...

Poor Tyce got sick that night and THREW UP for the FIRST time in his LIFE!  Poor Michelle had to clean it up and apparently it went EVERYWHERE!  But good news is he felt better the next day and they went to visit the family graves...


 Smores!!

The boys had their "patriotic concert" which was cute...

Then I chaperoned their last field trip!!!  Josh's buddies...
 Jack's buddies...
