June Little & Big Moments

June has been busy, busy with the end of school year happenings and young women camp. The month flew by and we are SO happy that it is finally summer break. Bring on summer!

Paige had her last orchestra concert of the year. Orchestra was her favorite class of the year and she learned so much. Her class voted her most improved for the year so she got a fancy certificate, plaque, and her name will be on a board in the orchestra room.

Baylor had her first offical end of school year carnival and enjoyed it, but I feel she could have participated more. She is still a little hesitant with things that involve a lot of people, but has improved so much this school year. At the carnival she enjoyed a lot of the bouncy/obstacle course blow usps and the petting zoo.

For my Ladies of the Lake gathering for the month of June, we went to a former member of our ward and saw her farm. She told us all about her animals and what she uses them for and her large garden. She answered all of our questions and it was a really fun and informative outing.

McCall was our little sidekick and loved the kitten and walking through the garden, though I had to keep a constant eye on her to make sure she wasn't picking anything.

Then Baylor graduated from kindergarten! She loved her teacher SO much and made so many friends. She is my little social one who loves to be with kids and have a playmate. She did amazing academically and was an excellent student and example. She loved school though I do feel she is ready for summer and a little break. Way to go Baylor!

We ended the school year on the 14th! One in middle school and one in elementary school is busy and a lot of back and forth, but they both adjusted well and had a great school year. Paige really enjoyed switching classes, made new friends, loved track and gymnastics, and really enjoyed some of her teachers. She struggled with friends some but was incredibly brave and stayed true to herself. 

We celebrated the end of another school year and went to a Mariner's game with Anna and Scott's family and Nona and Pops. We rode the tram to and from and McCall loved that experience and we were at the very top of the stadium which I loved. It was an incredible view of the game and the Sound and there was no one behind us so we could stand up whenever we wanted and didn't have to worry about it. The Mariner's pulled off the win and it was so much fun!

The girls got free hats and they all looked SO cute!

The City of Covington puts on some really fun events in the summer and their first pop up was a bubble one and the girls loved it. We were there for about an hour. Paige loved trying to make the biggest bubble possible and the other two were happy to run around trying to pop them all.

Some playground fun in between bubble fun!

We are deep in toddler fun and McCall sure is a busy one! The top two pictures were a day after wearing pigtails and she had the best hair and thought it was the funniest thing ever when she saw herself in the camera. The other two pictures is just a typical day around her. :)

Baylor and McCall had lots of extra time with Eliza this past week while I was gone to young women camp with Paige.

We ended the month with a few outings which were so fun. 

First off, Paige started piano lessons which is awesome for her and she's really excited about it. Her piano teacher lives next to Clark Lake and McCall, Baylor, and I walked around and got some nature therapy for 45 minutes which was wonderful.

Then right after the lessons were done we went to Covington Community Park for a fun city event of a Princess and Superhero Meet and Greet. We stood in line for Cinderella and but didn't want to wait in the long line for the other princesses so Paige and Baylor got a picture from afar.

Then today I am continuing my Ladies of the Lake gathering for the summer but am now doing kid friendly things and doing it once a week as long as we are in town. We had our first one today and went to the gnome trail. It was a bit rainy but still so much fun and all the kids loved it. We had a wondreful time together and I look forward to more times like this.

Another month filled with so many fun times and we are excited for everything this summer will bring us!
