June, Is That You Summer???

June brought us warm and sunny weather... OR NOT! June was chilly and rainy. But that wasn't really a big problem for us since our sprinklers were broken. We appreciated the precipitation keeping our lawn mostly green. Thanks Mother Nature!

Xander finished up his baseball season. The Astros were able to pull off one win this season. And Xander was able to get a few hits in. He played 2nd base most of the season and did a great job. His coach noticed a big difference in his ability from last year to this year. But most importantly he loves to play and has a great time.

Josh finished up the regular baseball season and was asked to be part of the Herriman League's 13 year old All-Star team. He was so excited that all his hard work and practice had paid off. He had a great regular season pitching and started off the All-Star tournaments the same way. More info on All-Stars to come in July's post.

Brian replaced the brakes in the truck in June... here are his pictures and stop motion videos.

We had a couple birthday parties in June. Our niece Sara turned 6 and our niece Mya turned 2. Both were supposed to be outdoor parties but rain put a damper on the festivities. Here are some birthday party pictures and videos.

Father's Day was great fun. We were able to use the picnic site Lisa had reserved for Mya's party that got rained out. I bbq'd some ribs and chicken and we all roasted marshmallows. It was a great night and the weather really held up. We all pitched in and got Richard some folding 4-wheeler ramps. Brian fears for Richard's life every time he uses his homemade ones. Pictures.

We were also able to travel to Wendover for our 12th anniversary in June. Mark, Molly, Lisa, and Shay all came along too. We all go rooms and spent the night. It was so much fun. We got to have a great dinner at the seafood buffet. We all hung out, talked, and laughed for over 2 hours. After that I introduced Molly to the wonderful world of penny slots. And Brian got to play Blackjack with Mark. He has been wanting to do this for years and finally got his chance. He was in heaven. Mark did well picking up the game and I think Blackjack may have a new biggest fan. In the morning we all got together for breakfast and then EVERYONE played Blackjack for a while. Such a Kodak moment but you can't take photos in the casino.
