Middle of May Randoms

May is already half over!! Time has got to slow down just a bit, because I'm just not able to take it all in! Thankfully, I have my little blog here to help me take a second and see how much awesomeness happens even in the day to day. It's just good. 

It's even better now that Dan has returned safe and sound from his work trip to New Mexico. He has been gone all week and we have missed him so. 

June was much more interested in where daddy was this trip, so Dan made sure to help her know where daddy was. He would send us pictures and explain where he was. 

And we would send pictures back. 

We also tracked daddy of where he was, and how far away he was from us. June loved it and she was constantly asking to see where daddy was. 

 We have been trying to enjoy as much sun as the weather has been permitting us to have lately. But when the rain takes a break and the sun peeks through, we are ready for some serious water time. 

Which also includes snack time

Our usual after church, after dinner, after naps walk around, in our neighborhood. 

Sally comes too 

This boy has just become the best little buddy! So handsome, so funny, and pretty much the coolest little boy around. I'm the luckiest!

June comes into our room time to time early in the morning, usually when Dan gets up for work. We both fell asleep for a while, and it was awesome. (P.S. I have clothes on, it just doesn't look like I do) ;) 

June had a field trip to the fire station one day at school. We were invited to come, so we tagged along and spent the morning with June. 

June was so funny, the fireman asked if there were any questions, and her little hand shot up so fast! She said "Do you know that fruits and vegetables are good for you?!" The fireman was very nice and they talked about healthy foods for a good five minutes. 

Days when she falls asleep are good but bad. When she sleeps it makes for a quiet afternoon, but we pay for it later because she then doesn't go to bed for a little while. But she's still so little, so if she feels the need to rest during the day, who am I to stop her! 

My cuddle buddy before his nap 

 We have been devouring homemade popsicles! And homemade popsicles means healthy popsicles! Don't worry I still let them have otter pops... I'm not mean. June said "Mom, the whole world needs popcicles!" 

Park days! 

The water has finally warmed up enough for us all to go swimming, June's been in the pool since like February, but for the rest of us, we are now just getting in. June loves when we swim with her, because she get's to have more freedom then just on the steps. 

One of our dear friends hear in Texas are moving to Idaho Falls in just a few short weeks. We are very sad to see them go. Their little girl is one of June's best friends, so it will be terribly sad to not have them here anymore! Thankfully they will be in Idaho Falls, and since we are in Idaho so often, we will get to visit. We all went to dinner, with no kids and just spent the night all together. It was really fun! 

Just a walk to the park to play and look for turtles. Our trails have been crazy with the turtles lately, so it's been fun to try and spot them!

One night a storm was blowing in (Surprise, surprise) and it looked so cool from our backyard. The sun was shining from the west, and the storm was blowing in from the east. It made our backyard glow! 

It's been a good half of May so far! We are very much looking forward to the next few weeks to come, and all the good thats coming our way!
