June in June

Since it is June, I wanted to post about our little Junie Bug. She is getting so big. She loves to wave, but is still a little shy. She loves to ride in her little car, especially when she can stand up and honk the horn with her belly. She loves to play peek-a-boo and gets really giggly with Bella in the car.

We worked her hair into her first two piggy tails. Aren't they cute. June loves to play with Dad and Bella and especially follow Bella around. She is a pretty fast crawler and if Bella leaves her door open, she heads there as fast as she can.

Even though she is still shy, she got pretty used to Aunt Natalie in St. George and still loves her. She likes to wear a bracelet and will show it to you by holding up her hand and saying "Ohh" which she also does when she gets into Bella's room.
She loves to be outside and swing. She is close to walking, she pulls herself to standing and will let go for a minute. There is nothing she doesn't try to get into. She is my blankie girl and has a special one from Marme that is required for her best sleep. Her very favorite thing is to come into bed with Mom and Dad for a few minutes at night, she gets very silly!
We love you little June!

Uncle Dan

We were surprised when June went to Uncle Dan and sat with him on the swing. She is such a Mama's girl, but she had a great time with her Uncle and cousins!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Bella has been loving all this rain, it has given her plenty of chances to use her umbrella!

Friday in American Fork

We headed up American Fork Canyon for little hike Friday afternoon. it was a beautiful place and we loved just looking out the windows on the drive up. Bella gets very excited to see all the trees and the river by the road.
We loaded June up in her backpack and headed up the trail. She loved to ride and laughed and babbled to Dad the whole time.

Bella was a great hiker running along. (Now if we can just get her to watch where she is going and not trip so much!)

We made it up just past this aspen grove before it started to rain. It looked to really get us soaked so we decided it was best to turn back.

Bella did a great job scouting the path. She really kept running ahead, jumping on a rock and looked all around to make certain we were still on the path.

Down at the lake, she found a great stick and was trying to do a little fishing. (I guess we need Treavor to take her for real sometime!) It was a beautiful day and especially nice to take a quick dip in the pool on the way home!

Summer's Here!

How do we know it is summer? The pool is open! We spent the morning swimming with some friends, but after we decided we needed to head back with Dad. June has decided she loves the pool. She laughed and splashed like crazy. It got to the point I could hardly see I had so much water in my eyes from her.
Dad tried to teach her how to float. I love the legs sticking up. I guess we will need to work on relaxing in the water.

Bella and Grandma having fun!

The girls loved playing motorboat with Dad! A great start to what looks to be a fun and wet summer!

Memorial Day

We headed up to visit the graves in Ogden first thing in the morning on Memorial Day. We hadn't every made the trip, so it was neat to be with Grandpa DeYoung. June played with Grandpa Clyde for minute before she pulled her usual I only like Mom and Dad routine.
Bella loved helping to clean the headstones and placing the flowers.

This is June with Grandpa DeYoung and the grave of her namesake, Grandma June.

Bella was very serious when she put the most special pink flowers on Grandma June's grave. It was a pretty neat morning to learn more about Bret's family.

After, we headed to my parents house for a great bbq and play. June spent some quality time swinging, which she loves!

Lily's Big Day

Today was Lily's birthday party and ballet performance. We had a great time playing pin the tutu on the ballerina and breaking the pinata. We especially loved watching Lily be a graceful bird in her dance performance. We love you Lily!
