June

 We had four very big weekends in June!  First: I visited my high school friends Holly and Chelsea in Seattle.  I also got to meet up with my cousins Brigitte and EB.  SO fun.  

 

Second weekend: Pride parade!  I drove in the parade and helped spread the word about some LDS & LGBTQ+ resources and conferences coming up.

 

Third weekend: Lee's 70th birthday and Father's Day!  All the Yates grandkids are getting bigger and it was SO fun to be able to sit and enjoy the beautiful weather and socialize with the adults while the kids played happily outside.  We also went on a beautiful hike that morning.

 

 

 

Fourth weekend: Surprise party for David's 40th birthday!  I took almost zero pictures but we had two giant bounce houses, catered street tacos, a caricature artist, a DJ, and SO many wonderful friends and neighbors that came to wish David a happy birthday.

 

Grant gave David some legos and a toy car for his birthday :)  We went to Melting Pot for dinner and stopped at Barnes and Noble.

 

 

Kate also participated in a two-week long theater camp and they produced 101 Dalmations!  Kate was a sound technician and did an incredible job.  Kate also had a blast at girls camp, and David and Mason also had an incredible YM camp.

 

 

More June fun with friends...

Happy Mother's Day!  I love these kids so much and am so grateful for the good life.  The girls decorated the basement so cool for a movie night!  We watched the live-action Peter Pan.

 

We've been going to Oceans and Worlds of Fun!

  

Kate, Julie and Mason wrapped up soccer seasons!  David loved being Julie's soccer coach.

 

 

 

Dates with kids are so fun--I took Julie to Olive Garden and Annie to Kitty Cafe.

 

Happy Birthday Kristin! Grant did a classic markers-to-the-face move.

 

Memorial Day Weekend!  My parents came out to visit and we had a great time.

 

I surprised the kids with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge on the last day of school.
