Busy month!

I have not been blogging much this month because there has been so much happening!

Here is a brief summary of the last 2 weeks (more pictures to follow):
Tuesday, June 12 - Finish up the dresses for my nieces for the wedding. My parents come to watch the kids while DH & I attend an adults-only dinner at the bishop's house.

Wednesday, June 13 - Finish Blondie's dress (I took out the zipper & redid it because I didn't like how it turned out the first time). Get the house ready for company. Tan & family arrive around lunchtime. Mom & Dad N arrive in the evening.

Thursday, June 14 - S & family arrive around dinnertime. Attend a session at the temple with family. Pack for wedding & family reunion.

Friday, June 15 - Wake up early and leave for Idaho Falls (leave all of DH's family at our house). Attend wedding luncheon, sealing and then reception for my brother D & his wife K. Leave after the reception to drive down to Perry, UT for the White family reunion. (Find out that nephew C threw up in the car the whole way up to the reunion and for a while after arriving at Grandpa W's house! Poor C - & parents!) Thanks to everyone who set up our tent for us so we were able to put the kids to bed relatively easily (since we didn't arrive until about 10:30 p.m.)

Saturday, June 16 - Participate in family reunion activities. Go swimming at grandma & grandpa's hotel pool (it was an incredibly hot weekend - highs near 100!) Clark was feeling better but then after dinner at Maddox's, Tan got sick! When we got back from dinner Blondie & Kitty were fast asleep on the couch in the house. We were able to carry them to the tent asleep but they woke up again about an hour later, oh well. The kids were given some glow bracelets that they could make necklaces out of (thanks to grandma n). Then we had some s'mores followed by a brief wind/thunder & lighting storm. M&M was freaking out from the wind blowing the sides of the tent, but thankfully it didn't last too long.

Sunday, June 17 - Family testimony meeting & then lunch (Tan is feeling better but C starts throwing up again). We left the reunion after lunch and traveled back to our house. After we unloaded the car, the kids & I drove to my parent's house for dinner. DH stayed at home to spend some more time with his family. It was my niece M's first birthday so we had some cake & ice cream & presents to celebrate it. Came back to our house and gave dad & grandpa some father's day presents.

Monday, June 18 - Tan & family leave super early to catch their flight back to VA. The kids & I meet my family downtown at the church family history museum. DH stays at home to spend some time with his parents before they leave later that day. Visit the conference center & eat lunch at the ZCMI mall. Go back home to say goodbye to grandma & grandpa n. Drive to my parents' for dinner.

Tuesday, June 19 - Do some shopping for DH's birthday. Drive to my parent's house and spend some time playing in the water out back. DH stops on his way home from work for dinner. Drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon a little and stop for a short hike. Have some cake for DH's birthday back at my parent's house.

Wednesday, June 20 - My brother G & family leave.

Thursday, June 21 - Drive my parents to the airport (they flew to Coeur d'Alene for my brother's open house on Friday). Work in the garden.

Friday, June 22 - Watch my niece J while her parents & sister climb to the Timpanogos caves. Do some grocery shopping. Go swimming with A's family & M at a pool near my parents' home. Eat pizza for dinner at my parent's house.

Saturday, June 23 - A & family leave.
