june

we've painted doors

(easier said than done...this was try 3)

 we've celebrated birthdays with ice cream for breakfast

 and free birthday firehouse subs for lunch

 and kept celebrating at chuck e cheese's

 more celebrating at home

 we've dressed up patriotic for art city days

 decorated bikes and rode in the children's parade

 we've been to elko on the way to grass valley

 we've bathed with 5 cuties all together (at the 'apple resort')

 we've woken up to this view out our door at the 'apple resort'

 and this view...amazing

 splashed in their pool (that they emptied halfway so the kids could play in it)

 we've thrown babies in the air

 rode on daddy's back to watch the nevada city soapbox derby

 we've caught butterflies on our hand (and it stayed on her hand for almost an hour)

 we've hung out with awesome family at the soapbox derby

 played in the sandbox several times daily at the apple's house

 we've lounged in the hammock with uncle gary (again at the 'apple resort')

 played at the beach at scott's flatts (while daddy went sailing on the catamaran with travis)

 showed off our breath-holding-under-water skills

 we've played with cute cousin kimmy, lily, and ryan

 the 'olds' hahahahahaaaaa enjoying the evening

 we've played in the water of the 'sand-wash-off-before-you-get-in-the-pool' tub

 and this little guy has been lucky enough to play in the sandbox (as long as his binkie stayed in his mouth)

 caught hundreds of little frogs in bob and pauline's pond in their back yard

 we've seen bears, and even got them to stand still long enough for a picture!

june has been a whirlwind of friends, family, and fun. we can't thank the apples-murphys-ballards for all their great hospitality, awesome food, amazing events and fun. greyson is CRAWLING, (pics/videos to come soon), the girls are having a blast this summer, and i am just trying to soak up the summer warmth while still trying to keep this house in working order. we LOVE summers in this household!!
