June Happenings

I've been worried about summer and keeping the kids entertained. I've been very pleasantly surprised with how well they have done finding things to do. I love when they find things to do together!  I love to hear the ukuleles playing in the house. 

Hallee has been working on roller blading. I had fun joining her one day. I think she was surprised and impressed with my roller blading skills!

Paul took Wyatt and Rockwell to the car show. They both loved the cyber truck. 

Keith and Hallee went to the temple together. Keith said it was so hard to keep his eyes open with the bright sun.

Hallee loves to do baptisms for the dead.

Hallee has gone on some hikes with the young women. She enjoyed the Big Springs hike.

She also enjoyed the donut falls hike.

Erin is so nice to take these girls every week to prepare them for camp.

They are also trying to go to different temples.  They went to the Draper temple before the donut falls hike.

Wyatt and his friends had fun riding the bus from Orem to Provo and getting off at different stops.

Hallee got to bake with Lindy again.  She loved it!

Wyatt was on a car cleaning kick for a while.  He cleaned both of our cars on the inside, they looked so good!  He offered to wash Lindy's van.  I hope this obsession sticks around! You can see Hallee roller blading in the back ground.  She does it in the morning and the evening to beat the heat.

I have been trying to walk early so the heat isn't unbearable. 

I went to the trail by Utah Lake.  I miss this part of the trail, they are working on the middle of the trail, so you can't walk all the way to the Lake.  It was nice to walk on this part of the trail again.

Utah sure is beautiful.  Look at those three horses lined up.  

I started a job at BYU.  I go in Tuesday and Thursday evening and count inventory.  It feels like the most random job, but I got my first paycheck today, so it’s legit, ha! We counted candy in the bookstore my first night.  We have to put sticky notes on everything we counted and they were still there the next day when Hallee and I were there.  Hallee immediately recognized my handwriting.

I had to go in during the day to get my id.  They gave me a $5 gift card to the bookstore for my birthday so I took Hallee in and let her pick out candy.  It was a fun outing for us.  She picked out some candy for Wyatt too.

The sky was gorgeous when I came out of work one night. 

I like the job and the people I work with are really nice.  It is a lot of work though, a lot of bending, squatting and lifting.  It's not too bad as long as I don't over do it during the day, but by the time 10 o'clock rolls around I'm so tired.  I'm planning on doing both jobs for now. It may be a little hard to do both because I will be up late for one and need to be up early for the other one.  I will see how it goes.  Last night we had to count in the warehouse and it was so hot, like I was feeling sick hot and I could ring out my hair from my sweat hot.  I am usually hot at work, but not like that.  My favorite is when I get to count drinks because then I'm in the fridge! We are still hoping and praying that the right job comes along for Keith soon.  It's getting harder and harder for both of us to be positive and patient.

Caitlyn went to Alaska to visit Anna.  She had a great trip.  She brought me and Hallee back shirts, the boys license plates and Keith a hat. I need to get her to post about her trip. It looked amazing and was such a cool experience for her.

Jonah voted! We just had the Republican primary and they sent Jonah a ballot. I guess since he will be old enough to vote in the general election in November, they also let him vote in the primary. It is crazy to me that he is old enough for that.  I'm proud of Jonah, he took time to look up the candidates and decide who to vote for.

Wyatt got sun burned when he went to Splash Summit with Dallin and again when he went to Salem Pond with Eddie. Caitlyn swears by aloe for sunburns so she talked him into putting it on when she got home from work. She even helped him, ha!

Keith took Hallee and Wyatt to see Inside Out 2 on $5 Tuesday with his birthday money.
