Okay if I'm ever going to get this blog caught up to the present I'm just going to have to do some massive picture summaries. So here is June (minus Taber's AK boys weekend which will get it's own post)
Once school got out we ended up spending A LOT of time on the trampoline.
They would jump on it every single day, perfecting all their tricks and burning off loads of energy.
Their favorite is jumping with the sprinklers. Never gets old.
We visited Auntie Naomi and Uncle Kevin a few times and played with their rats. The kids are nuts over those things.
We went to the local butterfly house
Cam was fascinated.
Me and my friend Julie took our girls to downtown Chicago and spoiled them to a fancy lunch at the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building. Sometimes you just need a fancy girls day out :)
The girls loved exploring the big city
We hit the American Girl Doll store and Brinley insisted on having her picture taken with this doll because it was her favorite.
We also hit the Hershey store where Brinley was in heaven and Teya was like, "Enough chocolate already!"
We celebrated National Donut Day with the cousins
We also hit the Zoo with the cousins
The kids loved the new dinosaur exhibit
We took the kids to their first minor league baseball game to cheer on the Kane County Cougars.
And Taber and I went to our first Cubs game at Wrigley field.
We celebrated Father's Day with the world's best (and handsomest) Daddy.
Taber helped me teach the Young Women in our ward how to build a fire for camp certification.
They aced it!
I was called as 1st counselor in the young women's presidency on top of my ward camp director calling, which meant more time with these awesome girls!!
Some really nice friends gifted us this beautiful piano and it has been such an awesome addition to our home! I can now play close to 20 hymns (I could only play 4 or 5 before) and the girls have started piano lessons. Love having music in our home.
We said goodbye to Sister Weber, one of the first (and best!) sister Missionaries to serve in our ward. The girls had never been exposed to sister missionaries before and they fell in love with her, and want to serve missions now because of her. So grateful for her awesome example.
We swam with friends
And started an epic 2 week road trip around the country, but that is a different story for a different day.

Holy Moly Batman! You guys did a ton of stuff in June!!! I totally forgot about that zoo trip. That was so much fun. Favorite pic was Cam contemplating the butterfly :) very cute!
Don't you love when you get behind on blogging? It is like a never ending cycle...the more you get behind, the less motivated you are to do it (at least that is how it works for me). So the catch up posts are always fun! ;) I gotta ask about all the winter gear in the fire pit picture...was it that cold in June?? Craaaaaazy! :) You guys seem like you are always on the go! I don't know how you do it!
All your kids are so adorable. I could keep 'em all. I love that the girls are taking piano! Anna wants to learn (and we would like to hear something other than Mary had a Little Lamb), but I'm slacking on getting that ball rolling. Do you take them to a music store for lessons or do you have someone you know give them?
I also have to know, why winter gear in June? Was it that cold?
