June 2023 (Cousin Visit, Felix's Birthday, Six Flags)

Ivy is standing so well and is ready to walk! She was dancing it up at this McDonald's Play Place.

Ten steps! (also I have no idea what was playing on the TV, haha)

Baby genius stacking her toy.

I made delicious strawberry freezer jam. So good!


Felix and his friend watching the big kids spar.

Felix's baseball team's end-of-season party.


Slow dancing with the coach's daughter. He kissed her on the lips too, whoops!

Jeff flew out to Utah for a short weekend to be with his brother Kaden going through the temple for the first time. 


Ivy and Felix while I did some weeding.

The climbing begins!


Home Depot was extra fun because they had a two-seater cart!

Helping Daddy work.

Swimming in our neighborhood pool for the first time.

My brother's family came into town for a long vacation! We had so much fun with them!

Matching with cousins.


Story time with Grampa.

Axel lost a couple teeth.

Playing on Gramma's new playground.






Abram and Everett came home with us for a couple days. I made Felix and Abram matching ninja jammies for their birthday presents.



We went to the park. Abram's face cracks me up.

These two were too cool for the park.

Got McDonald's on the way home, and ate it in the shade in the backyard.

Abram decided he needed a little snooze.

More costume time.

Then everyone came up to our house for Felix's 5th Birthday Party!




















This was as everyone was packing up to leave, so the audio is a bit distracting. But Ivy is so cute!

The next day was Father's Day. The boys picked out a hilarious Ninja Turtle shirt for Jeff.



After church we went down to my parents' house for the day.


Jeff organized a short D&D campaign for the kids.





Ivy talking up a storm in her playhouse.

Then the highlight of the summer: a trip to Six Flags!!!

Jeff and Dallin both have their arms up, if that helps you find them.

Alicia, Peter, Jeff, and Axel were the daredevils of the family.


I wrangled 3 babies/toddlers while Dallin took the kids on this ride. No easy feat!


Then Dallin and Adeline took the twins, and Samuel was NOT having it in the balloon with Adeline... Luckily he didn't climb out of the balloon.




The only ride Ivy could go on. She hated it.


I love that Felix and Abram were hanging on for dear life!

Dallin, Alicia, and I participated in a watermelon eating contest (you couldn't use your hands). We all lost, haha.






About to get REAL wet. Plus we rode it like 5 times in a row, so it was bound to happen.








Went to Black Bear Diner for dinner, and luckily they could accommodate all million of us.







Playing with the sword and ax souvenirs Gramma bought the boys.


Jeff and I were able to celebrate our 16th anniversary! We went to dinner and a movie.


Cinnamon rolls are messy.

Felix chose breakfast burritos for his Birthday Dinner (on his actual birthday)


So excited for MORE legos!

Jeff drew this card.

Then Everett and Adeline spent the night with us before we all drove to Utah. We had In n Out for dinner.


All looking at "Where's Waldo" books before bed.

Sewing Roundup!

Axel wanted matching PJ shorts for his favorite shirt. I didn't have quite enough fabric, so I made these cool color-blocked shorts. They turned out awesome!


Shirt for myself. The sleeve is of my own design (bit of trial and error)


S'mores shirt for Peter's birthday

Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch) shirt for Sheri's birthday


Pretty floral v-neck for me
