Remembering June...sorta

Oh my dear long neglected but not-completely-forgotten blog. I honestly cannot for the life of me remember where my blogging time has gone. I love this outlet, I love remembering, I love capturing those funny/don't-want-to-forget-this moments. But somehow, life has evolved with our family of 5 and my time is, well...less free. I refuse to give up, I refuse to just start from today (oh how easy that would be...new year, new start) but then we would be missing 7+ months of life. The thought is overwhelming but I think I'm going to do a 'Top 10(ish)' for each month. Make it more manageable while still capturing us.

1. Schools out for summer!!
Everyone was excited for Ella's last day of 1st grade.
2. Great Wolf Lodge with Girl Scouts
As soon as school was out, we loaded in the car to head for a day of friends, water and fun!
3. Pool time!
When our crew descends on the pool, you better watch out! Lots of splashing and laughing will soon be coming. Ainsley got a "puddle jumper" life jacket and Oh.My.Goodness! How have I had 3 children and only just know found this product? Its coast guard approved as a life jacket but it doesn't flip the kid on their back, instead she stays upright, able to swim, kick and move freely in the pool safely BY HERSELF!!
4. Bowling
6 kids bowling. Some might call us crazy! We did finish a game...and didn't lose any children....and there were no major injuries. Sounds like a success to me.
5. Farmers Market
Favorite part of the farmers market by all children...honey sticks. Little $0.25 straw filled with honey...Selah glared if you mentioned taking hers, Jude and Jenna were all smiles, Ella and Aubrey's lasted maybe 30 seconds, Ainsely chewed her straw so much she couldn't get the rest out but out of fear it would be taken away, would not let us help her! The day ended up being much warmer and nicer than we hoped. Running through the fountains with clothes on and snow cones were a perfect way to spend the day.
6. Hanging out
Some days the most fun is had by just hanging out at home, passing the day with your cousins.
7. Visiting with Grandma and Grandpa Kerner...plus Miriam was born!!
9 Great grandkids with 2 great grandparents in 1 picture. It only took about 30 pictures to get one were most kids look like they are not being tortured!!! And everyone loves to hold the baby =)
June in a nutshell. Lots of fun, lots of family!
