Random June...

Honestly between Birthdays, Family Reunion and the Dance Reviews how is there more???

But there is. :)

The month started out with Shane calling me saying he needed me to come get him.

He had cut himself... bad.

He didn't really need to tell me that.

Why... because he cuts himself ALL the time.

BAD!

Sometimes he just duct tapes them up.

Sometimes he duct tapes them... then decides to go get stitches the next day and by then the skin is too soft and stitches won't hold.

So when he actually CALLED me... I knew it was bad.

Honestly he has NEVER called me to come get him.

Didn't even call me when he cut his fingers off in a miter saw.

He waited till he was in the ER getting them stitched back on to call.

This may gross you out... but o well.

It was deep!

He cut clear down into the joint.

They were worried about infection because it was so deep.
12 stitches later he was back to himself.

Saying things like, "maybe I should have just super glued it".

UMMMMM

This also from the guy who was, "supposed to wear a splint for 2 weeks."

I saw he didn't have it on and he said, "Well I couldn't bend my finger so I modified it."

Pretty sure the point of the splint was so that he couldn't bend his finger...

and did he miss a day of work.

Of course not.

Shane is a hard worker.. but one SUPER stubborn man!

Besides that gross stuff...

We helped my cute little niece Elle celebrate her 1st Birthday.

Tayler had her cheer "car wash".

And Cheer Camp at USU.

A super crummy cold, wet week.

But they had fun anyway of course.

Visits with Grandma and Poppa.

Hair do's by Lydi.

Snow cones by Tayler...

I swear we went there every time she worked for most of June.

She's a cute little "snow shack worker".

There were after Church pics...

And...

the day we rented a puppy.

Like for real...

rented a puppy.

We found a special and it was the best $20 I have ever spent!

3 hours of PURE entertainment.

And then we got to give him back.

AND they delivered and picked him up too.

You can laugh.

But some of my kids want a dog.

Shane and I do not.

Best of both worlds. :)

Meet Carl...

Honestly Carl wasn't like most puppies.

He was tired.

Not hyper... at all.

Hayden was over and according to him he was, "like a breathing stuffed animal."

That was true... he just wanted to be in the shade.

Would never have gone on a walk with them.

And much preferred the cool indoors.

Poor dog may have been to too many "rental houses" that week.

Mock us... but we'd do that again!!

There was Father's Day...

We got Shane a tandem bike among other things.

Honestly us girls were more excited about the bike than Shane.

We even got Grandma to go for a ride!

Love this picture!

and love that she also tested out Kenna's scooter!

There were a couple weeks of swim lessons for Lydia and Jadyn.

10 days of Shane off in Merida Mexico working on the Temple.

A "summer strings" week for Kenna.

Ending with a concert with the Cache Symphony Orchestra at the Kent Concert Hall.

Saige went to Youth Conference one weekend.

Tayler couldn't go because she was running RAGNAR for the second year.

She has no idea why.

And she swears she will NEVER do it again.

But she definitely said that last year too.

I drove my mom and the younger girls to Park City to see them cross the finish line.

So proud of those kids.

She ran 14 miles total.

Her team of 12 ran almost 200 miles..
from Logan to Park City.

I'm not a runner, that does not sound fun to me... and according to Tayler there is absolutely nothing FUN about it.

Her description... "you sweat, hurt, have to sit in a stinky car, sleep an hour or so on the side of the road, visit "honey buckets" and watch people suffer for around 30 hours, does that sound fun???"

The best part of the race was definitely having Taitlin on her team.

Have I mentioned that I am grateful for good friends...

June was busy.

And June was fun!

But Summer is cruising by WAY too fast for me!!
