Swim lessons...

Ethan and Rylie just finished up a session of swim lessons. They LOVE to swim and both did really well. Ethan was in level 2 and Rylie was in preschool B...

Father's Day weekend...

On June 19th Coulter's Dad (and his band-Monkeyshine) played at the Harley Davidson open house in Riverdale. We went to watch and Rylie went to dance. Rylie loves dancing when Grandpa Brian plays...its hilarious.
My dad came to see them play too...


Then we headed up to Logan to visit Grandma Jan. She hasn't met Owen yet or seen us in awhile. It was good to visit with her...
Sunday morning (Father's Day) we had the Creager side over for breakfast. It was fun...sorry about the dirty breakfast casserole I made...

The monkeys giving Coulter his Father's day loot...We love you!
After church we went to my parents to celebrate Father's Day with them. It was a great day. Thank you to all the fathers in our life...we love you!

6 months...

Owen turned six months old on June 19th...I totally forgot to take a 6 mo picture so the only pic I have of him that day is the one above but oh well. Owen is doing so good. He has cut 2 teeth so far. Owen is sitting up on his own really well and is rolling over just when he wants to get something. We grabs for everything now and plays with a lot of his toys. He hasn't been sucking his thumb anymore:). He does like to hold on to his rag or blanket when he falling asleep. Owen is still a big fan of the bouncy chair and the swing. I took him to the doctor on June 22nd and he is doing good...
Weight: 16 lbs 13 oz (50%)
Height: 27 inches (80%)
Head: 17.5 inches (60%)

He holds his own bottle too!

Dance Recital...

Rylie just finished her first year of dance and had her very first dance recital on June 12th. She did a great job and we enjoyed watching her perform. It was hilarious watching all those 4 year olds up there...Rylie was really excited about her pretty costume and getting to wear make-up. Thanks to our families who came to support Rylie!
Rylie and her 3 little friends that were in her class...they are so funny together...


All 24 of the girls...trying to get a picture of them all smiling was a good time...


Rylie was so excited about the flowers she got after her performance...
Rylie had to get a pic with the sword at Northridge
What a lady...harassing Kyler...

Ethan is 6...

Ethan turned 6 on June 7th...what a sweet boy he is. He is a great big brother to Owen and is pretty good with Rylie:). Ethan did really good in kindergarten and we are so proud of him. Ethan just finished up with T-ball and soccer. He wasn't the biggest fan of either so who knows if we will do that again. Ethan does love swimming and is really good at it. He loves to be outside catching bugs and playing at the park. Ethan is a very good eater and will try most things. He is turning into a good helper around the house.

We celebrated Ethan's birthday with my family the day before...he was excited.
Ethan all happy before he realized that Rylie had ripped the side of his cake off...don't ask.
Ethan loves this book...
Ethan chose donuts and chocolate milk for birthday breakfast...Rylie was happy about it...
We went to the park with some friends to play and have lunch....
Coutler's family over that night to celebrate...Ethan was excited for another party...

Ethan had a friend party on the Saturday after his birthday. All of his guy friends weren't able to come so it was Ethan with 4 of his lady friends...he didn't care though. Ethan had a great time. He had a frog party so they made frogs, played some frog games, destroyed a frog pinata and decorated frog cupcakes...good times.

Anniversary Party...

On June 5 my siblings and I threw a surprise 30th wedding anniversary party for my parents (their anniversary is June 10th). It was a lot of work keeping it a secret from my parents...We had a lot of my parent's friends and family there...they had a good time visiting with everyone. Robby put together a really nice slide show and all the kids told their favorite stories about our parents. I love my parents so much and I'm glad that we were able to honor them. Thanks for everyone who came!

This is exactly what their wedding cake looked like...

My dad's sisters, Lisa and Nancy (and Owen)
The girls...
The boys...our older brother, Jeremy, wasn't able to come up from California...

June 5 was also my Dad's birthday so after the party we headed back to their house to celebrate his birthday. Happy Birthday Pops!

Memorial Day...

On Memorial Day we went hiking up Ogden Canyon on Indian Trail with Coulter's family. It was a lot of fun...the weather was great and the kids loved it.
Kyler was nice enough to hold the O-man for most of the hike. He is getting pretty heavy and I am out of shape...
After the hike we went to The Oaks and had lunch.


Owen was so good the whole time...and Coulter was there...he was just taking all the pics.
