Thursday the kids had Summer Camps (M- Crafts, B- Basketball, A and Bth- Mom and Me). Then we went to Costco and the kids practiced biking when we got home. Love Anna in her fancy jewelry!
After lunch I took the kids up to the Gunnerson's to swim. The Gunnerson's were out of town and there was so much water on top of the cover from a rip in the cover, that it wouldn't open all the way. The water pump wasn't in proper working order either... so that was an ordeal. ;) But the kids still had fun using the small amount of the pool that was open.
This was another hard day were I felt grumpy most of the day and the kids were yelling at each other a lot. I apologized to the kids for being a bad example of yelling all the time and that we all need to work on communicating better and more nicely.
Bethany had a late-ish nap and stayed up late with me. You can tell she had some extra energy to burn. :)
Friday we went to the Wood Cross City Literacy Program. There was a professional storyteller and the kids made book worm bookmarks. When we got home the kids did more biking and Anna got a little scraped knee. Bethany was so sweet to comfort her.
McKenna played at the Alexander's that afternoon and Dan came home from Quest!! We spent most of the afternoon sorting and organizing toys to get ready for company to come into town.
My sister DROVE here from Alabama with her four kids to spend a little over a week with us!!
They got here around dinner time and we had quesadillas while Dan took McKenna to her dance recital dress rehearsal. After they got back we had to take everyone to Hokulia!! It was so fun to see Bethany warm up very quickly to my sister Emily, but not so quickly to their dog Mollie.
Saturday I ran 4.25 miles but didn't feel so good about it as I walked more than I wanted to. We had a nice Father's day breakfast with all the Websters and we found out Dan's dad bought a boat! Then we left to drive down to Provo to see Mickelle's Belly Dancing recital! She did so awesome and the weather was pretty nice!
We played at the Provo City Liberty Park after the recital and saw a Studio C cast member, Jeremy.
After that we headed straight to the Gateway for a late lunch and to see the Utah Foster Care Chalk Art Festival. Here are some of the favorites!
We got home by 4pm and kind of chilled after a busy day so far.
We ate nuggets and taquitos for dinner and got McKenna ready for her recital. She did so AWESOME but unfortunately the auditorium was SO HOT!! The schools turns off the AC during the summer and they don't turn it on even if they know there's an event there. LAME!
Check out her performance here.
Bows!
Grandpa took some of the kids for a walk and then left early after McKenna's number.
Here are pictures of those of us after the show who managed to stick out the heat! So fun she could dance with our ward friends Camille and Brittana too.
Dan and I went on a grocery shopping date after the kids were in bed that night.
Sunday was Father's Day! We gave Dan his presents first thing in the morning and were so thankful he didn't have meetings!
I love making a calendar for him every year for his office. It's fun to look back over the past year.
Dan got to wear his fancy new suit to church!
The kids watched the new "Beauty and the Beast" before church. The primary kids sang during church but Anna was too shy to get up. In YW I aslo started practicing our "Ask of God" song for girls camp. This was also a great day for Bethany because she waved bye and blew me a kiss as she went to nursery!
Right after church we headed to visit my Condie grandparents. We had Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner

Cute Dylan teaching Bethany how to make car noises.
Another Happy Father's Day gift for Dan is Ben let him pull a loose tooth out! Tooth #3.
Monday I went for a 3 mile run with Kylee. The girls played outside a little bit with the fairy garden. 
After the kids had summer camps and McKenna had piano, we went to Mickelle's office for lunch and a tour!
We were home by 2 and Bethany took a nap. Grandma gave each of the kids a silly putty.
I found out that I accidentally had the wrong time for the kids swim lessons so we missed the first day. That evening we went to the Nelson Family BD party for June Birthdays.
Tuesday after morning summer camps, Emily picked up McK and B and took them and her own kids to the $1 Summer movie, "Trolls." That afternoon after lunch, Emily had a rock chip in her windshield fixed. Then Grandma Kelly made bracelets with the girls and the boys colored Patrick (from Sponge Bob) masks.
I took the kids for their first day of swim lessons.
That evening we went to Grandpa Mike's work BBQ where it dumped rain for a good 10 mins. Thankfully it helped cool things off a bit. I had book club that night and we discussed "What Alice Forgot." We talked about what our past self would be pleased or disappointed with our current selves.
After the big kids were in bed I got this adorable video of Bethany being such a good helper!
Wednesday I went for a mile run and Kaitlyn came with me and Kylee. She did pretty well considering she isn't used to this altitude at all. Dan mowed the lawn and the kids went to summer camps. We came home and gave the kids a snack and then took them swimming at the Gunnerson's.
(Fun toy to play on after swim lessons, Kari teaching everyone the game of Mafia, cute cousins and matching hair, and swimming at the Gunnerson's.)
That night we had Hawaiian Haystacks and our good friend Bonnie (and her two kids) came over for dinner and playing.
Grandma Kelly did another craft with the kids which was "exploding" paints. She puts alka seltzer and paint and water in old film canisters and then they explode on the paper. We also started watching Lego Batman outside but decided to turn it off around 11 and put the kids to bed.
The equivalent of little kids fireworks.
