June 2009

In June we decided to do a girls night for all of us sisters. My mom and my cousin Shanda came too. Both haylee and Chelsea are leaving for school this fall. Haylee is playing vball at Idaho State and Chelsea will be at BYU. So this was like a going away party/birthday party/facial night. I'm going to miss them both so much. Pretty much because of the free babysitting!! Just kidding guys. I am going to miss hanging out with them and getting to know the woman each of them have become. I know they will be successful at school and will probably still graduate before i do!

That night we played one of my all time favorite games in the whole world. Um, no. Not even close. i always get outvoted when i choose a game.

Chelsea and mom.

we also got a new van this month, something i wasn't planning on doing until they started making more affordable hybrid vans. But the kids were getting really squished in the back of the civic. Its an 03 odyssey. And we got an extended warranty on it so we are set for 3yrs/36,000 miles. Just as good as a new car but for less than half the cost.

Here's jack in the van. He definitely has a better view now.

June also marked the end of the vball season.
Back row: Karyn, me, Erica, Brittany, Jessica. Bottom row: Natalie and Sam. We thought we'd make it look all teamy.

We were the cherry bombs. It was obviously my idea to wear pink since i love that color and have loads of pink shirts in my closet already. we did pretty well. I was middle blocker and sometimes right side. I got quite a few good blocks on the last night we played, and i was really excited. we couldn't get enough girls together again to start another team. Oh well. It started again in august buy i might get too busy with school. It may just be church ball for me!

We also went to kingman, AZ in June too. How very exciting. We met Alex's brother's there. O.j. is taking a job there at the airport and had an interview. This is the girls with their uncle Ryan. They are all playing around on iPhones. My kids are very technological.

We were also able to catch jack walking for the first time. He hadn't been walking before our trip to kingman and he was about 17 months old already. SO i was laying on the bed at the hotel, or craptel (don't ever stay at the travelodge in kingman unless you want black feet and a dead cockroach in your bed), and all of a sudden he just stands up and takes like two steps. I was like What!!? So i put him on the ground thinking that would be easier to walk on than the bed, minus the black feet of course, and he took a couple steps. So Alex used his phone and got these first moments of jack walking. It was so fun. And now i get to watch it whenever i want.
