Monday, June 28 - Katie came over today to get her nails painted for the 4th of July. She loves glitter nails so that's what we did on her fingers and then firecrackers on her toes. I was so happy to get some solid time with her before she leaves for Florida. Kenny and Kayla also came so we got to see everyone but Kam today.
Tuesday, June 29 - This was Nick's first time driving to Grandma Sandi's and he did a wonderful job! We made it there in one piece! :) Our family got together today to have lunch and tie-dye shirts for July. We love this annual tradition that mom does of making matching family shirts. They all turned out unique but really really cute too!
Wednesday, June 30 - Some of the neighborhood ladies, Meg, Jenni, Marisa, and I went to the Provo Rec Center today. It is super fun! They have an awesome indoor area as well as outdoor waterslides, a wave pool, and a kids pool. The moms spent most of the time visiting while the kids were off on water park adventures. It's always a fun time at the Provo Rec Center.
Thursday, July 1 - Mom sliced up some avocado at her house on Tuesday but we didn't eat it all so she sent it home with us. Zack's favorite thing is "homemade guacamole" (which is just mashed up avocado mixed with some salsa) so I sent this picture to mom to thank her for the leftover avocado. I brought a few things home from work to try on and I loved this dress...so I bought it...in two colors! Haha! Somebody stop me! :)
Friday, July 2 - Katie wanted to take the girls to Lagoon for one final girl-hoorah so they went to Lagoon today. Mom met them up there after work as well. They had a great time! They got done in enough time to meet us in West Jordan for the Western Stampede Rodeo. It was a great rodeo this year! I definitely missed our July traditions last year when everything shut down! I am so glad we got to spend this time together as a family!!
Saturday, July 3 - We are having lots of family togetherness and I am loving every single minute of it! :) Kenny and Katie keep telling us that they don't need any help with their move but we figured if you've got the help here on this end of the adventure, why not take it?!? So we all showed up at their house this morning at 11:30 to load up their moving truck. They were honestly really ready and packed, the truck just needed to be loaded up. We stayed until about 1:30 and then left so that we could hurry and get ready to go to lunch at Texas Roadhouse. We all went together and that was fun too! We even made mom get on the saddle and yelled a big whopping YEEHAW for her birthday! Afterward, we went over to Sandy City. They still have the parade, live music, and vendors cancelled because of Covid but we sat in a big ole' circle and hung out until the firework spectacular started. I don't know about everyone else but this day, for me, was as good as Christmas. I just love the festivities of July!
Sunday, July 4 - We celebrated mom's birthday at Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jim's. Dinner was good, dessert was wonderful, conversation was the best, but the goodbye was hard. Kenny and Katie drive away first thing tomorrow. "How lucky [are we] to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." ~Winnie the Pooh
