June- Week 3- Bethany 11 Months, Chalk Art, Bee's Baseball, Father's Day, NFBD, Gma Sewing, Fishing

Wednesday Bethany turned 11 months!  
Ben attended his summer camp "Balls of Fun". Afterwards, I hung out with Brynn for a little bit.  The kids had swim lessons.  We took dinner to the Alexander's who just had a baby.  After dinner, we went up to Dan's parents' house to fly kites!  It was super windy!  
That night after baths we documented Bethany's little curls!  I don't know if these will continue and turn into a full curly head, but for now they're sure cute! 
Thursday I did some visiting teaching, then we picked up cousin Oliver to stay with us for a few days while his parents were away.  

The kids had their last day of swim lessons.  McKenna improved so much and advanced to the next level!  


The backyard where swim lessons were held was so awesome!  It had a trampoline, swing set, and a zip line.  
Ben also improved!  However, he will most likely repeat the same level next Summer.


The kids also loved the free swim time they had right after their lesson time.  

Friday we took Oliver with us to Mills Park literacy program.  We packed a lunch and ate there with the Stewart cousins.  Anna got a hair cut (trim).  When we got home, I told the kids we would be going to the Bee's baseball game that night and suggested it would be a good idea for them to take a nap.  They didn't even argue and went straight down to sleep!  
Here's the whole Webster crew (minus Swa and Jake) at the Bee's game!
We had hot dogs, chips,beans and fruit for dinner.  We needed to get Oliver some ear plugs to keep him calm and help him enjoy the game a little more.  

Most of the kids rode the train during the 6th inning.  We sang the 7th inning stretch, got some cotton candy, and then called it a night.  Anna's only nap that day was for about 15 mins on the drive to the baseball game.  Clearly not long enough.  :)
Saturday Uncle Brian was nice enough to watch Ben and Oliver while I took the girls to a baby shower for a Nelson cousin, Hayley Helsten.  After the shower I ran some errands with all 5(!) kids.  They did pretty well considering it was late afternoon.   Dan was at his annual Utah Foster Care Chalk Art Festival all day.  We met him there after dinner at the food court at the Gateway.  
Here are some of our favorites.   
They also absolutely loved riding on the escalators.  My parents flew in that day and were there too!
Sunday was Father's Day!  The kids gave Dan his gifts before breakfast.  We're so thankful for this guy!  He's an amazing father who knows what each of kids need, when they need it! 
Bethany had her first whale spout at church. :) 
After church we headed to my Condie Grandparent's to visit my mom's Dad.  Love that Grandpa Paul of mine!  Unfortunately, Bethany wasn't feeling very well.  Pretty sure she had a fever which made her super cuddly.  :(
I was also lucky enough on Father's day to have my own dad in town!  We gave him a yummy fruit edible arrangement.  For our dinner we had bacon, scones, and fruit.  All Dan ever wanted! :) 
After dinner we spent some time outside and grandma was awesome at getting Bethany to laugh.  

Monday, we had an appraiser coming as part of our refinancing, so McKenna and I cleaned the house really well!  Later, we went swimming at our neighbor's house.  In the evening, we attended the Nelson Family BD party to celebrate our June babies, Anna and Dan! Anna got in some sweet snuggles with Grandfather right when we got there.  :) 
Tuesday I noticed a significant change in my running training for my 10K.  I felt stronger than ever and my time dropped as well!   Tuesday we also had Grandma sewing class.  The kids made these adorable jammie shorts.  We also discovered this day that our air conditioner was broken!  Boooo!  It was brand new 5 years ago so it seemed young to be having problems.  It got up to 82* in our house that evening. Ugh! 
Tuesday evening we attended my Dad's company picnic at Liberty Park.  Dan left a little early and took Ben to the YM activity... fishing at Farmington Pond!  He just had a bobber on the end of the line, but Dan said he was a natural.
