June 2021

 Here are Google's Then and Nows for the month:

We had fun at our local splash pad:

We took the kids out to ice cream (Grandma Schuetzler's treat) since she wasn't able to take them when she visited us last time. The kids (and Ryan) really liked the milkshakes at Chubby's!

The younger three did swim lessons at the beginning of June! Zane is really close to being able to swim by himself, and Ivy is getting a lot more confident in the water:

We did a backyard pool at the beginning of this month and had some neighbor friends come over to join us:

We went to Nielson's Grove park with some friends this month, and the kids loved feeding the ducks and swinging:

Cutie Ivy loves to have her picture taken:

We painted the girls' nails red, white, and blue:

Swim time at the Scera ended with some ice cream!

Hair brushing chain:

Our neighbors put out a slip n' slide one afternoon, and our kids really enjoyed an impromptu slide!

Grandma and Grandpa Martin and Mindi visited us this month! The kids loved when Grandpa Martin jumped with them on the trampoline:

I had fun going to some Parade of Homes houses with Mindi:

I got to go to a wedding celebration of my high school best friend! It was beautiful and the video of their wedding was very romantic:

Hyrum built this cool sculpture one Sunday:

We visited a new park in our city this month, and it was pretty cool!

The kids are earning a date night with us this summer by reading five books that we choose for them, and no surprise, Hyrum was the first to earn his. He and I got lunch at Texas Roadhouse, then went swimming at the Provo Rec Center, and ended with ice cream at Sweet Rolled Taco!

We had a fun day at Splash Summit water park in Provo! Cora got the kids' first wasp sting, and we all got a little sunburned, but the kids had an absolute blast:

Zane enjoyed melting and smashing some ice outside this month:

The kids started in-person primary again this month! Here's Zane during singing time:

One afternoon the kids put together a restaurant for Ryan and I to come to in the basement. They did a great job, and it was very fun "eating" there:

We got kayaks! And Ryan took one out to Utah Lake one morning (he only smacked a few fish with his paddle):

Sometimes you fight eating dinner so hard that you fall asleep:

I got the van detailed for my mother's day present this year, and it was AMAZING! The car smelled so good, and everything inside just looked so clean!

Hyrum started swim team again here in Utah, and he had two swim meets this summer! He did great!

Zane was the second kid to earn his date. He and Ryan went to Chubby's for dinner, then had a fun time at the Nickelcade:

One night this month we got a random knock on the door, and it turned out a Door Dasher had left a bag full of Cafe Rio food. After searching for the true owner, we found her, but she had already ordered more food, so we got some free Cafe Rio that night! It was delicious!
