June in a Flash

We had a great time visiting family and going to Boondocks, but sadly I left my memory card for the camera at home : (

 

 

Jacob's 10th Bday  - he spent the day with his best friend.

My first attempt at making an ice cream cake... so yummy although not very pretty.

Daniel w/ his football buddies - Jared is coaching his team this year:)

Finally the tooth fell out

Alyssa's first bike for her 2nd  birthday

 I loved sharing a room as a child and staying up late giggling and telling stories with my little sister.  It's fun to see my kids becoming close friends with their "roommates."

 Jacob gave Jared a coupon for a "Man-Meal" for Father's Day.  With a little help from Rebecca, he made up a menu of items for Jared to choose from.  He made Taco Soup, Smoothies and Homemade Sugar Cookies with me and it was one of Jared's favorite gifts.

 Jacob also advanced to being a Webelos and was one of the sharpest shooters at day camp... hit the bull's eye with the BB gun!

 We all love our chubby happy little Josh (aka Bob according to Jacob).

 We played kickball for family night one week to give Rebecca some practice for an upcoming YW activity. 

 Our family scripture study has finally become successful with a little change in approach.  Everyone but me lays on the floor with pillows in the dark as they listen to me read from the Book of Mormon with a flashlight.  It helps to block out some of the distractions and we finally have less than 100 pages left after many years of failed attempts to finish as a family.

Jared has kept busy coaching Daniel's flag football team this summer.  Dan is lucky to have a ton of friends in our neighborhood that are his age to be on his team. 

Alyssa likes to come up with her own type of fun.... I caught her having  a tea party with the toilet water!
