June- Father's day, visitors, Grandma passing

Matching shirts! It is always fun to have all of my boys matching but it is hard to find clothes for all of them that do. I have an aunt that has this amazing ability to do it and get them in the mail to us. She sent all of these shirts and some fun clothes for Roslyn for us.

Evan sitting and reading the books he loves so much.

This is one of Michael and my favorite outfits of Roslyn's. She had some little pants that went with it. I'm thinking we probably have some other pictures with her in it, but I haven't come across them yet.  The funny thing about this little outfit was that it seemed anytime she wore it she would have a blow out.  We couldn't figure out if it was the outfit or if it was just that we put it on her more than her other clothes because we liked it more. (I don't think she had many blowouts in any other outfit.)

The Dice Game. The first two weeks of June Alden and Calvin went to a summer camp at the elementary school by us.  Almost everyday when they were gone Benson and Evan played the dice game.  It was fun doing something special with just the two of them.

Loose Tooth! Calvin lost his first tooth and not long thereafter his second was loose.  His two front teeth! It was fun when the second one was loose because I said how he looked like Nany McFee so we took a picture with his one tooth sticking out. It didn't last long before it came out as well though.

Two months old ad full of smiles.  Roslyn was always really alert and seemed to be smiling quickly. (Some of it could be that now the stages seem to go by so fast, but she seemed to do everything really quick.) We all love all of her cute little smiles.  This little girl brings so much joy to all of us at our home.

The first picture is one of my favorites of Roslyn.  It was the back-screen on my phone for quite some time.  I love the little grin, she has so much personality in that sweet little smile. This was one of Michael and my favorite Sunday outfits. I thought it was fun to have a bow so big on my cute little one. 

Evan is still my sweet little snuggler.  He loves to come and get hugs and snuggles.

Visitors!! It was a quick visit but a good one.  It was so fun to have these cousins come with their Mom's! They came and spent the night on their way to a camp for Young Women.

Amusement Park! Almost every morning in the summer when these boys didn't have anything going on they would get out all of the trains, cars, blocks, ect and build their amusement park.  It was fun to see all of the things they built and how they would think up new ways to make it better each day.

These Uncles came through for a quick visit.  It was fun to have them come and spend some time with us.  I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but this was a neat day as it was sunny and a storm came in quickly just as we got to our car it started poring down rain.  You can kind of see the storm coming in the picture.

What an amazing father all of these boys and Roslyn have.  We are so grateful to him and all that he does for each of us and our family as a whole. Grateful to have a day to spoil and love on him.

If I remember right this visit to Peter Piper was because Alden had finished the Book of Mormon on his own and we had promised him a trip to Peter Piper with $5 to spend. This visit might have been for some other reason but that's the only one I can think of. (He finished the BoM at the end of last year so if this was for that it was well over due.)  I don't think he ended up choosing to spend that money but we did give everyone one dollar to do something.  Calvin went straight  to the roller coaster, and he loved every minute of it. Alden thought it out and then decided he would play game and get prizes.

Sunday dresses with our sweet little girl!

At the very end of June my grandma passed away.  She was the last living grandparent of all of my or Michael's grandparents. I was grateful that I got to attend the funeral and be there to hear more about her and her family.  She was a lady who loved life and seemed to care for the people around her and plants or animals.  I have many good memories of her and actually think of her quite often now that I have a pool, she always had a pool that we would go visit often as kids but when I am around the pool it reminds me of her.

April

This is Roslyn at 1-2 weeks old.  It was fun getting her dressed in the cute little dress with the big bows.  She is such a cute fun little one to snuggle and love. My favorite thing is taking naps with her lying on top of me. We are all in love with her, it is so fun to see how much her brothers love and care for her.

This was just a sweet moment I wanted to remember, and it lasted long enough for me to go get my phone and capture it.  Alden for quite a while was just talking to and singing to Roslyn just letting her know how special she was.

This was one of those times that Roslyn fell asleep in my arms that I actually had my phone and just wanted to remember how wonderful it is to be holding her and how tiny she is.

Another Sunday. Fun to be picking out which dress to wear and which bow to wear with it! :)

Last day of preschool we had the program and graduation and then about an hour later we headed up the mountain to go camping. By my request Michael used one of his days off to take the day off that we have the program. Since he doesn't get many days off in a row we decided it'd be a good idea to use the day and go camping as a family.

Roslyn's first camping trip.  She wasn't quite a month old. (3 weeks old)

The next morning after camping we went for a walk by this little lake.  This is the lake we were camping not far from.
