Crazy month of June!

We had a crazy week last week! We got home from a great trip in Driggs, Idaho to find out that our house we were renting was foreclosing and they wanted us out in 30 days! :( We spent the week looking for houses online and walking through many of them. We really wanted to stay in our ward and neighborhood and there were a few homes available to rent but not what we are looking for. Jonathan is working from home more and more so we really needed a house with an office. We finally found one in Clearfield about 10 minutes away. While it is not as nice as the house we are in now, it is in a really nice neighborhood and it has plenty of space. So we got out the boxes that we had unpacked 6 months ago and started packing everything up again. Aahh I hate moving but we are trying to stay postive. We have moved 6 times since we have been married and this is the first time I have not been pregnant so that is nice!

Anyway on with the month of June. . .

June was full of visitors and we loved it! Our good friends the Forresters stayed a night at our house on their way to California and the next weekend our other very good friends the Perrys (who we miss like crazy) stayed for the weekend. It was so much fun!

Abigale with her friend London Forrester
This is the only picture I got when the Perrys came to town. We were having too much fun I guess but one night Holly and Jace went to their cousins wedding in Park City so we took all the kids to Arctic Circle for dinner and to play on the toys. They had a lot of fun and it was sad to see them leave but we cant wait to go back to Boise to visit!












This is Ryan just hanging out while the kids played.





A few days after the Perrys left my sister and her little boy Max came to stay with us from Florida. It was so much fun and Abigale and Lydia loved having a little boy to play with and follow around.





Max loved the cars in the backyard and loves pushing anything he can including little baby strollers





Cute guy





Caitlin was going to leave for a cruise the next day and she was going to leave Max with us so my dad came to help out until my mom got back in town (from Paris!) to take over.





We had fun at the Treehouse Musuem in Ogden (one of our favorite places)





We met up with some of our cousins at the Gateway who are in town for the summer from South Africa!





LOVE love this picture! Abigale and Ben are too cute and who knows what Lydia is doing!





My beautiful sister and her sweet little guy who was having a rough night. It was the night before she was going to leave him with us and he was not feeling well so she took him to an instant care and he had pink eye! He was nice enough to share it with me, Jonathan, Lydia, and Ryan but at least the same drops were used for everyone!





Cant forget this happy guy!





I think Max was missing his mom but we did our best to keep him happy. He is such an easy and fun guy. Abigale was sitting on the couch and Max just climbed up on her lap. He loves her!





Eating ice cream with Nana!





Playing in the sprinklers

















My mom took Max to Pocatello for a few days and Abigale decided to join them. We missed her but tried to have fun with just two kids. We decided to head into SLC and went to the farmers market and the Gateway where they were having a chalk art competition/family festival.





There was a band playing at the farmers market and Lydia just wanted to watch them the whole time.





Some of the chalk art was amazing.











Cute kids but a dark picture












Abigale helping Ryan in his swing





Abigale worked hard to earn enough points to get a bike so that she could take it to Driggs for the 4th of July. Since she got a new bike Lydia got her old one. She doesnt quite know how to ride it yet but they will have a lot of fun riding together in the future!











The Treehouse Museum had a family fiesta night. It was kind of lame but they had churros which were good. Of course the kids had fun- they love that place!











They gave the kids moroccos (or however you spell that). Ryan grabbed mine out of my hand and he loves holding it but he keeps hitting himself with it.





The next weekend my parents and Caitlin's family came back to SLC because my dad had a conference. They stayed at Little America so we took advantage of the swimming pool and had a Cafe Rio pool party.




















Whew! That was a long post full of fun events! Stay tuned for 4 of July pics!

Oh Carley! I'm so sorry to hear that you will be leaving our neighborhood and Ward. I can't believe you have moved so many times! You guys should really have it down this time! Ha ha! You will be missed! Let me know if I can do anything to help!

SOOO FUN! We have missed you guys at our family events. I didn't know you guys found a house. That is wonderful!! I would be happy to come help you pack or take the kids for an afternoon. Whatever is easier for you. I love the pic of Jonathan with the girls bikes. I can't believe he is teaching his kids how to ride a bike. What an oldie!! :) It seems like yesterday my own dad was out there with us. Love you Carley!
