First Week of June

In the first week of JUNE the fun already began and

we were all ready for summer. 

June 2nd

Bailee came to visit and Owen loved that! 

June 4th

Sierra had a school lunch practice with her Kindergarten

class in preparation for 1st grade.  They gave Owen

his own hotdog as well.  Those poor Kindergarteners

they don't know how to open anything and they can't reach

all the food anyway.  Plus some don't really read well

and can't find the food they are looking for. 

I might have to go to lunch with Sierra a bit until

she figures it out.  Specially to make her eat her food

since lunch prices went up.  Dang. 

June 5th

Paige had her first Piano lesson.  She was so excited!

I just hope we can both make it through the first few

months of lessons.  Those are the hardest.  The kids

want to and almost expect to be so good and don't realize

it takes practice and hard work to get better. 

And I hate bugging them to practice.  It was rough

with Riley and so I assume the same with Paige.

But now Riley gets up every morning and plays on 

her own.  Love it! 

June 8th

Well I told the kids if they got up Saturday

Morning and got their house work done

quickly I'd blow up the water slide.

They had a hard time hurrying but

eventually got it done after lunch.  

Man what does it take to motivate kids

to work these days.  Seriously! 

We invited cousins over to play and

the only ones that could come were

the wickers.  They all had a good time.

Even sweet baby Jace.  And Riley

got to take him in side after swimming

and play (babysit) him.  She loved

that Aunt Kaite trusted her to

watch him while she stayed out

side with the rest of us. 

Spencer got some great pictures of the girls in action!
