Owen is practically perfect.

mama's boy

sleeping champ

good little eater

happy when he get's up

loves to read

{his fav are the No David books}

climbs everything

starting to make more words

and boy does this kid love to SCREAM!!!

He screams when he is happy, sad, mad, frustrated,

wants something or someone and just for fun!

My mom took us all to Heritage Park.

All the cousins had so much fun exploring the park and being together.

They have a cute little petting zoo.

Waiting in line for the train.

Owen playing with the toys right by the sign that says, "DO NOT TOUCH!"

Gma even treated us to a fun treat and lunch.

The girls with Eva May.

Learning about the Native Americans.

I love this pic of Winston.

Dru and I started a girl's summer book club.

The June book choice was Little House in the Big Woods.

We invited Dru's cute friends over to discuss the book, do a craft and

eat some food that we read about in the book.

I was really impressed with the girl's memory and ability to discuss the book.

They all were polite and let each other speak in turn.

{Reading is not Dru's favorite thing, so I am hoping this changes that.}

We made homemade butter to go with our homemade rolls and honey,

beef jerky, nuts and lemonade.

We made log cabins out of pretzel sticks.

Next month: The Hundred Dresses

I am so behind on blogging.....

So here is my {very late} father's day post to the most perfect man for me.

Ryan is a family man.

He is crazy about his kids and would prefer doing nothing with us over something with someone else.

{unless a round of golf is an option} :)

Ryan loves to have fun and be adventurous.

He is always pushing us to get out of our comfort zones.

Ryan is such a good example.

honest, worthy of his priesthood, huge heart

Ryan is very comforting and is always willing to help others.

Ryan is incredibly patient and loves to teach.

I am so grateful for Ryan and the father that he is.

I am so blessed to share the role of a parent with him.

He is truly perfect for me.

{Here is the father's day treat we passed out in primary.}

"A bowtie for a sweet guy!"

More cousin time!

GMO:

I spent the morning with some very amazing women.

They are all very different, yet do incredible things on a daily basis.

Thanks mom for getting us all together.

Thanks for the yummy breakfast and the fun pedicure too.

Thanks Britt for letting us come to your cool new store.

Thanks dad for watching the kiddos.

Yep, my dad watched 15 kids all by himself!

Summer with cousins....there is nothing better!
