Happy Late Fathers Day!

 Kinlee's fav! The swing!

 Dunk contest!

We meant to have Steve over obviously a little closer to Fathers Day for a little treat to celebrate. But we have been so busy...today finally worked.  I absolutely love time with Family.  With this side, it's always bittersweet.  Every time we are together I am so glad but also so sad to be missing Julie.  It is neat because tonight while we were out back, I watched everyone, and caught a glance of the tree in our yard.  The tree that was outside with us, with just a hint of orange in the leaves.  The tree my mom and Bruce gave us in memory of Julie. It was neat having something to remind us of her that was outside with us. And also to have her swing set being played on.  She loved that swing set and now we were using it while all together. I miss her so much and wish more than anything I could hear her laugh or just give her a hug and tell her I love her.  Thinking a lot about her, about this time last year and it being the last month we didn't know we were going to have with her. Live your life to the fullest today and let those you love know that you do and how much you care, tomorrow might be too late.

LaGooN!

 Grandma Debbie had her work Lagoon day. We weren't going to go but then decided if the kids were up for it after peyts bball practice then we would go! We didn't get there till 8, were only staying an hour...ended up there till 11! haha So much fun tho! Kinlee was SO excited to go, chanting the whole way there "I go Lagoon! So excited!" and other exciting chants! so funny! She clapped after every ride and would say "that's awesome!" ha

Happy Fathers Day!!!

 Wow. Where to start. Today was awesome. It started especially because of an amazing video Tys and I watched last night. A mormon message one...made me think deep. My kids are incredibly lucky to have this amazing dad. He encourages them to succeed, cheers them on, loves them, cares for them, works every day to provide for them, is their buddy and friend, their strength, amazing teacher and educator, he is everything they need and more. The list goes on. Happy Fathers Day!  We made him a fathers day picture/slideshow video with breakfast to watch!  He also got a awesome golf shirt!

 and...this little miss...was in her "dance" dress just chilling on her chair in her room listening to music.  She had been dancing but took a break to eat some peaches. haha

 We made a quick stop to see bruce.  He is amazing father and step father to me.  I couldn't be more thankful for him and all he has done for me in my life.

 and then to my dads for a yummy dinner!

 Love my dad and his shiny hair!  He is amazing and I love him!  So thankful for his example and so thankful for him!

 then to Grandpa Rich's! Drew hula hooping! he rocked it!

 and no smile from grandpa. I promise he was happy! :)

 got home and kinlee was doing somersaults with the boys! She is seriously amazing!

 We had tys come sit in the middle of the floor and on the count of 3 they yelled Happy Fathers day and tackled him with hugs! Kinlee missed the memo...

 Then she joined in!

Love my family.  I get overwhelmed with emotions just seeing all of our pics together while doing these posts. I am so blessed and so thankful every day. Happy Fathers Day to my sweet hubby and to all the Fathers in my life!

Happy Fathers Day eve!

 Annual Fathers day party with my moms side...40+ peeps and tons were missing! Love family time so much! No matter who it's with. I think I've learned to appreciate how precious the time is so much more over the past year.

 Drew missed the big pic and was so bummed. So he wanted one with me and kInlee joined too!

 Chicken fight!

 Yup! She loves those goggles!

Photo bomb by peyt! haha Love these grandparents...! I sat and talked with my grandma for a minute.  Asked her how it felt to know she and gramps are the reason all these people were there at the party together. They started it all! So amazing! Love you two! and thanks to my cute mom and bruce for hosting! It's a favorite for sure and always a success!!!

Drews Hip Hop!

 Drew has been taking hip hop since about the fall. He absolutely loves it! He had his recital with his buddies and cousin. It was adorable!!!

 Their pic, minus Sam and eli who couldn't come that night.

 Before they went on stage!

 Way to go Drew!

 I am so proud of this boy! He did awesome! He has mastered the worm. I swear he was born to break dance! It's so cute!

 He chose yogotogo after! Brother Frost, from the ward, bishopric was there and decided to photo bomb our pic! haha It was awesome :)

and this little girl has been dancing tons since Drews recital! She absolutely loves dancing now! At the recital she was sad when we left saying "I stay and dance!" So now, we put a radio in her room.  She asks to put on of these dresses on, asks for the music and says "I dance, watch me!" Or she will dance all by herself. I love it!!!
