June!

Once June hit we were in full summer mode! We finally made it to the cabin, had more fun times with cousins, first ever dance recitals, finally made it to the lake, and lots of fun with friends!

In Park City they have a race called the Dirty Dash where you basically run a 5K in mud but also go over hurdles and slide down slip-in-slides and jump in a big mud pit at the end. As much fun as it sounded, (I actually really wanted to do it) I didn't participate this year but had friends that were running and Jonathan had to take pictures for work since some of his students were representing the school. We decided to make a fun weekend out of it and headed to the cabin Friday night. My sweet husband even made a stop at the outlet mall for me so that I could at least run into a few of my favorite stores while he got the kids dinner! Love him!
On the way to the cabin! So beautiful!
The kids love it there and even got to stay up late to watch a move!

Big boy exploring!

Love these pics of my tired boy the next morning. We were on the way to the Dirty Dash. We had to get there pretty early.


The race. It was in a beautiful location and really fun to watch all the people jump into the mud pit.
The kids had fun for about the first hour and then they got tired and bored pretty quick but they were troopers.

On the way home we stopped at Seven Peaks Waterpark in SLC. It was a lot of fun but we totally wiped the kids out! Abigale was half asleep when I was taking this picture but as soon as she saw the camera she had to smile!
 Recital time
Beautiful Ballerina


She was so cute but still pretty young. She basically did this the whole dance- watched the older girl next to her and did whatever she did. It was still cute. They did a dance to Summer Nights from Grease.

She is such a performer!

Abigale's turn! She took tumbling class this year and really enjoyed it. She has come a long way and has almost got her cartwheels perfected!


  
Treehouse Museum with the cousins!
We love the Treehouse Museum and love it even more with friends and cousins!

Typical morning in our bed!

 Heading into Seven Peaks!
 On the way home from Seven Peaks!

 Jonathan had to attend a conference in Las Vegas and at the last minute I decided to go with him! Now that I am not nursing I had to take advantage of being able to take a vacation without a baby attached! It was a much needed break. I spent a lot of time at the amazing pool and just walking the strip while Jonathan attended meetings. Vegas is not my favorite place in the world, especially at night, but it was still a great getaway.
This little guy wanted to sneak into my suitcase!

Pretty much the only picture I took. The view from our hotel room. We stayed at Mandalay Bay.

A few days after we got back from Vegas, Jonathan's family decided to go boating for the day and we of course jumped at the chance. It was such a fun day! Abigale would not leave Laurie's side and Ryan would not leave Grandpa alone so it was another nice break!

Fun with cousins and friends!
My sister and her kids were driving through Utah and stopped to play for a few hours. They always have so much fun when they get together. They were playing tag and then enjoyed a nice popsicle to cool down.

Abigale had a few friends over and they did the Just Dance for Kids on the Wii. It was so cute to watch all 5 little girls dancing away!
 Ryan and Lydia- they are so crazy together but I love it!
