June

We started the month celebrating my birthday. 25 - woot woot! That seems so much older and adult-like. It's kind of freaking me out. But I am learning to embrace it. My birthday was on a Sunday so we celebrated Saturday by doing some shopping and having sushi at Koi. Then we brought Carter home and put him to bed and headed out to finally go see Cinderella while my parents babysat. We thought it was a really cute, feel-good movie. Then on Sunday we had a family dinner of my choice with a yummy strawberry dessert to celebrate.

Lucky for us June started out just the way we wanted it to - slow, enjoying the best simple things of summer. Things like, the splash pad, hanging out in our $5.00 pool, swinging in our hammock, and hanging out with dad.

One of the highlights of the month of June was having Rob, Hannah, and Lizzie move to Utah! Carter is so excited to have his ONLY cousin here in Utah! We have enjoyed having numerous play dates, helping them get settled and watching Carter and Lizzie play so well together. Lizzie is so sweet to Carter and is always making sure she shares her snacks with him - she is so good to him.

We finished off the month of June with our Roundy Rumble up in Howell. It's fun to be in the middle of no where sometimes. It's beautiful out there and we had a lot of fun camping on my cousin's property. We spent a day boating - thank heavens - because it was a REALLY hot weekend and we didn't have a lot of ways to escape it aside from endless otter pops.
