Flower Garden

We now have bushes in bloom! (for those of you who mocked me about my puny bushes, you can now apologise!) After months of digging, hauling soil, planting, mulching, etc. We finally have some color to enjoy. The variety of plants bloom at different times of the year so it will look different in the fall than in the spring/summer. Anyway, it's pretty now and we are enjoying the beauty and splashes of color. The lily just bloomed yesterday, so there will be several more in the weeks to come to fill in that back space

Larry wants you to particularly appreciate the fine edging around the rock boarder. That's his part. Thanks to the girls and Allen for their help in laying this ton of rock and for Alisha for her artistic input as to where each rock needed to be placed and what direction it should go.

What Did I Do in June??

What did I do in June??? I had lots of fun with crazy, cute girls!

Enjoyed the kiddie pool out back with tons of kids!

Chilled out with Lila

Celebrated Larry's 57th birthday

Played at the zoo with three big girls

Watched as Miya and Lila were brave on the carrosel

And Sienna as she was brave on the rock wall

Watched Sienna get her yellow belt and take her partner down

Flew to Dallas, met up with Larry there to spend time with Scott and his sweet family. We went to the Dallas Aroboretum just so I could see Larry share some "cheesecake"!!

Enjoyed hugs and kisses from Kinsey

And enjoyed fun times with Scott and Alisa as well

I laughed as Kinsey tried to smell the flowers, (I think she was snuffing out instead of breathing in!)

And loved the trip to the Dallas World Aquarium

Complete with an up close and personal chat with the biggest manatee ever!

I got to go to the Dallas Zoo where I had to chuckle as Kinsey acted so cool near her cheeta friend

And smiled as she found herself tangled in the giant spider web

Back at the homefront Kinsey and I chilled out on the deck

And then it was time for her surgery

I watched as Priesthood blessings helped a sweet little girl heal quickly and sport her new necklace that she made

And then, with keys and purse in hand, this girl was ready do the town!

What did I do in June? I had remarkable experiences being with some of the people I love most. I laughed, I cried, I flew, I played, I got squirted with the water soaker, I got hugged and kissed and hugged and kissed again by the most precious children in the world. What a great month!! I can't wait for the exciting adventures that lay ahead in July...it will not be a dull month, stay tuned!!
