June Pictures


The kids have been spending a lot of time playing
with the neighbors during quarantine!

Swim practice is exhausting - woohoo!

My lilies are beautiful!

I went for a run one day while the kids
were at swim practice.

C braiding S's hair

We visited some friends at their house and
went for a walk around the farm.  The goats
started following us and head butting my legs
 and you can see the donkey in the background - 
he was GALLOPING towards us to catch up to
us!

The kids made "water babies" - they each have
like 3 or 4 of them now and they are, of course,
all named;)

We attended a wedding and then met up with
some friends at Soby's for dinner!

The sitter took the kids to Dillard's - I think they
get ice cream or snow cones twice a week when 
they are with her:)  They love it!

Redneck kids staying cool in the extremely muggy weather 
we've had lately!

They pulled out the clay and made Nerf gun
targets!
This dish smelled AMAZING as I was sauteing it!!

It has been downright chilly this week!  I was in 
a long sleeve shirt and still needed a blanket!

The library has started allowing us to reserve books and
pick them up curbside!  YAY for new reading material!

C's a pretty talented guitar player and his teacher was sweet
enough to gift him this electric guitar!

We went to one of C's friends house and swam in their pool!
It was kinda chilly that day!  I thought it was funny that S
was eating watermelon in a watermelon;)

This one makes too much of a mess with ice cream inside, so
he has been banished to the back porch after dinner to 
enjoy it!  He doesn't seem to mind at all!

The small bird, a barn swallow, has a nest with fledglings somewhere close by
and has been dive-bombing us every time we go out the front door.
The dove also has a nest in our porch and is protecting its nest!
Battle of the birds!!

I felt like I hit the jackpot at Target!  First time I've seen wipes
since early March!!

With all of the protests, Aunt Jemima will no longer be a 
brand.  I almost feel bad using up my box of pancake mix
knowing an era has come to an end - totally ridiculous!!

Tailgate night for the youth at church

When it's hot out!!


S joined some friends at the zoo one afternoon

Checking out M's new office progress

C got his bday present from us a few days early!

The year-round coaches came to lead a practice for our team
one morning!

Lake - Me Skiing!!

Surprise, surprise!  We spent another weekend day at the lake:)  It was more of an overcast day, and we got there somewhat early, so the water was smooth enough for me to give skiing a go - first time in 16 years!!  I got up on my second attempt and it felt so good to be doing it again! I did, however, not last near as long as I use to and one run was enough for the day for me!  I will be doing it again, hopefully soon!  M also got a chance to get behind the boat for the first time because Tyler was there to drive the boat for him. He did some wakeboarding and even was brave enough to attempt some wake jumping!  It was such a fun day! The kids of course had a ball with the Mays' kids tubing, wakeboarding and playing around the dock!!

Bowling

The kids and I used a gift card and went to Stone Pin for a couple of games of bowling!  None of us are very good, but it was still fun and we enjoyed the place all to ourselves as well!
