Random June 2016

6-2-2016

For about a week, Kara would come into my room at 6:00am. I would tell her it was too early to get up and she would cuddle with me in bed. I loved it.

Having fun playing outside in the water.



6-3-2016
I cried when I saw Logan doing this with his bowl. He is getting so big so fast.

Evening walk with Matt before he had to go to work. Kara loves going through the sprinklers.


I love to hold Logan while he eats his evening bottle and his nap bottle. This is one of the fun times we get to have when it is just the two of us for a little bit.



6-5-2016
Another morning with Kara climbing in bed with me. Loved the morning cuddles.

Kara using my phone to take pictures while we were visiting Papa and Bonka.

6-6-2016
We took a walk to Hunter Park with Matt's mom while the car was getting checked out. 



We headed home after lunch and Logan didn't last the car ride home.


6-7-2016
Playing in the water table on a hot day. 


Out shopping at Harmons for our meal plan food.

Trip to the library with Kara. She just plopped down right in the aisle to read a book. She absolutely loves reading. We spend at least 1 hour a day reading, plus she reads in her bed before naps and at bedtime.

6-8-2016
Playing at Bonka's house during one of the renovation days. 






Logan and Kappy together. He had to be put down a couple days later. Kinda miss the dog.




Leili and Kara taking turns pushing each other in the swing.





6-13-2016
Daddy time with his kids. They love playing with him. Sometimes all he does is play with them and doesn't get any work done around the house.







6-14-2016
Date night with Matt. We got to sit in the spiffy recliners at Jordan Landing to watch our movie.


6-15-2016
Tifanie came over for the evening. We had dinner, went for a walk, and went to the park. Kara and Logan absolutely loved her bringing over her dogs to play. 







6-16-2016
Morning bike ride to the library and the school park.



Went to Grace and Katie's dance concert. I remember Grace's first concert and now she is 9.


6-19-2016
Kara dropping off Papa's Father's Day peanut to him. We were going to have dinner with them but Matt's mom got sick. 



6-21-2016
Nail day while Logan was asleep for his nap. 


Logan and Kara love to play with each other. Everytime I lie down on the ground Logan is all over me. So he thought he would do the same with his sister. He even tries to sit on any baby crawling around during Sundays at church. It is quite funny to see him try.




Kara styling while we workout in the basement. 


6-22-2016
First raspberry pickings at my mom's while she was away at Chelsey's for 10 days. 


6-23-2016
Having fun at home trying to get ready for camping. 

Video - Kara and Logan playing "row row row your boat"

Kara told Matt to take pictures of her pretending to sleep. 




Kara and Logan playing "unicorns".


I thought it was funny finding Kara asleep with her night light on her head. 



6-28-2016
Logan playing daredevil with Bonka. 



First trip to Seven Peaks for the season. 



Swim Lesson - June 2016

Kara absolutely loves the water and loved her first round of swim lessons. She had her last swim day on June 6th. She didn't pass the class but sure got close. She didn't quite like having her face in the water, but hopefully her next class she will pass and move on. It was fun taking her and being able to see Turkey while I was there for some brief chat times. It was especially nice when I didn't have to take Logan with me.

Help Hope Ranch - raise money for the Arena - PLEASE

I have been going out to Hope Ranch for over 5 years now. It is a place of peace and refuge for me that I didn't know I needed at the time I found it, when I was dealing with infertility and failed adoptions. I learned to work with horses and in turn was able to volunteer through the organization to help others in need. 






Terri, who owns and runs where Hope Ranch is located, is in need of some help raising money to replace the cover on her arena, where we are able to host many events for the Hope Ranch. She has insurance on the arena, but the insurance company denied the claim. 



I am not sure what to do to help except to get the word out. Terri is a person who gives and gives and never asks for anything in return.

If you can help please go to this link and donate or pass it along. Thank You!
