June - Summer Part 1

Beware, this is a heavy picture post. June went by so fast, before we knew it we were leaving for vacation; we tie dyed shirts and played with our cousins here in Houston to kick it all off, then Jongr had cub scout day camp the second week, and the third week we flew up to UT/ID. We flew in early and were able to meet Aunt Leonora and baby Katelynn at Temple Square in SLC for a picnic and as much sight seeing as we could squeeze in before the kids called it a day.

We had so much fun!

Jonli at one of my favorite spots.

Jontu up close for some reason he posed like this in almost all of his pictures this day.

A beautiful view of the fountain and the temple.

Jongr inside of the Tabernacle.

Jontu with the Christus, I was trying to get all of the kiddos in a picture, but they didn't want to cooperate. They all wanted to touch Jesus' toe (the only part of him that they could reach)

Aunt Leonora and Katelynn, they were troopers and we had so much fun with them.

Nephi's boat exhibit at the children's area in the Church History Musuem. After the museum tour we drove down to Orem to stay with Leonora and Kevin for a few nights.

The next morning we went to BYU campus and toured one of the museums there, the kids loved all of the animals and insects. Jongr wanted to have his picture by all of the bears that were there. Aunt Kelli and Brinley also joined us for our tour.

That evening Aunt Leonora invited Uncle Brian and Aunt Kelli over for dinner, the boys were so excited to see Uncle Brian again, we had a great time visiting and eating dinner with some of both sides of our family.

Kelli and Brinley, so cute!

The next day we drove back up to Idaho after stopping to see Aunt Carol and Uncle Noel and John for a quick visit and then stopping for a play date with my girlfriends from the SLC area. The boys were so excited to play on a real piano (we have a keyboard), they practiced pretty good the first week we were there.

Jontu and Jonev watching for the cows, there is so much fun to be had outside in the summertime, especially when there are hammocks and cows around.

We walked along the river with Aunt Rachel, Anton, Zachary, and Isabel and Jonev learned about throwing rocks into the water. They make big splashes mom!

This is Jonev with his face in the water during swimming lessons, we are so thankful to have been able to take lessons while in Idaho. It was so much more convenient for us. The boys are doing much better in the pool and are always happy to be able to go swimming.

We also enjoyed many fun made up games on the trampoline, here they are playing "peach cobbler", a game that Jontu made up to be able to chase people around on the trampoline. They had so much fun being able to play with Anton and Zachary for hours on end.
