June iPhone dump

A look back at a very long June!

Pool time with friends is always more fun.

Mom's night out with these lovely ladies.

When your friend has an ice bath, you bribe all the kids to go in! Such a fun morning with this crew!
It was seriously so cold, it hurt my skin. The kids went all the way in, I only made it into a sitting position.



These two were good friends when they were very little, and I love seeing them reconnecting and having a blast together.

The ice bath crew!

Marcela and I took the kids to Costco for some shopping and pizza, it was a crazy endeavor.

He spends most of his days like this, roaming around the house on his hover board and listening to Harry Potter.

The boys and I visited a local dinosaur exhibit, because Finn had been asking for like two years to go back.




Ice cream date after swim lessons with our friends.


I love watching the kids doing karate, it's so cute.


Every Friday we go to the movies with some friends. These are all older movies, but it was $8 for 8 weeks of movies, and we all enjoy it. This picture sums up their different personalities perfectly.



Another fun Bunco night with great friends!




He's been practicing his gum blowing skills, and he was really proud of this one.

He's my little sous chef. I hate cooking, but he loves it. Maybe one day he can cook for me...ha!

Finn told me he drew me a picture, I had no idea he could spell and write out these words.

I've had a good ten days of sick kids in June, they both had strep and fevers for a long time. We were waiting for his prescription to be filled, and he just wanted to cuddle up on me...oh my heart!

I've made myself a new door mat to represent our current state of life. 

We’ve only been out of school for a month, but I have missed these two fiercely. It was so good catching up with my old classmates, and I'm already sad that we won't be together next semester.

He fell asleep listening to his audio book.

After the kids were back to normal, Fox started his first ever summer camp, so Finn and I had a full week of adventures by ourselves. First up, Butterfly Wonderland! He's been asking to go back ever since our membership ended last year, so we finally got another membership and he couldn't have been more happy.


He asked me what my favorite thing in the whole world was. I told him spending time with him and Fox. He said "No, nothing to do with me or Fox!", so I told him that I really like going to brunch with my friends, to which he responded "I will go to brunch with you!" And so we did, and it was perfect!

Glow in the dark mini golf! He even scored a special hole in one at the end and won a free round of mini golf.



I love his eyes!

Since Fox was in camp, Finn and I went to the movies by ourselves.

Indoor play places with our friends are pretty much the only thing you can do in this Arizona heat right now. 



We found this gaming chair at Goodwill, and they both love it so much, that we had to buy another one, so they could each have their own.



This is what a sore Candyland loser looks like...haha.

I found this selfie on my camera roll and it made my laugh.

Our friends invited us to come swimming at a public pool with them. I can't believe that 9 years into this parenting gig, we had never been. It was so much fun, they had slides, a lazy river, and the big kids loved jumping off the diving boards over and over. 


Another summer movie date!


Meet our new family member for the next 9 days! The boys were so excited, and I probably received 16 hugs and thank you’s from Fox today for having a dog here. It will be very hard to give him back to his real family when they return from vacation, and it doesn’t help that he’s the perfect dog.






Girls brunch with my friend Kayleigh and her sweet daughter.
Until next month!
