June 2021 part two

Jumping riiiiight in to the second half of June 2021, here's some more random pictures from summer school:

And what else, more day Lillies:

Yeppppp:

Carma Junie did the cutest little dance camp with Suzy and Brinley and loved every second of it. Here's her group dance, she's in the front right:

Her group's routine was to "Classic" by MKTO and it was so so cute. Love these big girls.



Also it was fried chicken day at summer school and Carma was thrilled.

Concert fits:

Life hack: if you marry an otherwise perfect guy who doesn’t like country music, just GROW YOUR OWN CONCERT BUDDY! It’s like a chia pet but takes longer to grow and is hairier 😍.

Remember how Clyde and I saw Jordan Davis in February 2020 riiiight before Covid at the Knitting Factory? Or whatever it's called now haha. That was Clyde's first concert and then the freaking world shut down, so now in June 2021 we are at Clyde's second concert ever at it's... Jordan Davis!! SO good!!

I mean, they're all playing together and bonding....

Okay, but does Mark from Target Circle chat like me? Is this AI? What is happening here?

Sorry that I'm awesome and have such a cool name that automated customer service reps have to comment on it ;).

More summer school:

Jack doing his Parisi eval:

Even more summer school:

Brief glimpse of the family calendar - we used to do random colors instead of each of us having a designated color, looks like complete chaos honestly.

Seeing rays of sunshine come from behind clouds = hi from heaven and a reminder of how loved we are.

There was one hundred percent a random stop between Boise Idaho and Seattle Washington that had a little rock station like this. 

Instagram caption: Good news: I don’t have to set an alarm for tomorrow morning 🙌🏼 because summer school is over!!

Bad news: there is none 😂. 

Jk, I’m going to miss the awesome kids who bravely signed up for three extra weeks of learning, including Will and Bri - I kind of didn’t give them a choice 😅😅. Highlights were their adorable cousin bonding (Will initiated, Bri resisted) 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽and racing for the front seat each morning🥇, Carma crashing the final week and going to all the classes each day in specially designed outfits💅🏼, me rocking my new Power Rangers shirt because I take ‘cringe’ as a compliment 😎, Will’s constant endeavors to dribble his basketball in peace 🏀, Carma making best friends with Autumn the Snake and Morgan and Taylor the soon to be 9th graders-@tay.lor_moore (photo posted with her mama’s permission) and Carma wore skirts to coordinate on the last day 👯‍♀️, learning about tectonic plates shifting via frosting and graham crackers😋, cute notes from cute kids, and coordinating with Brie on accident because we are that cool 🤩.

Super grateful for this chance to prolong my job to earn some money💰💰and spend extra time with goofy and adorable and frustrating and amazing middle schoolers 🥴. And now let summer begin! ☀️💯🥵😭😭😭

I ordered these freaking cute shirts for our Braden cousin reunion in July. I'm in love with them.

Twisted Sugar stop, yummmmmm:

Another Sharon McMahon screenshot because she explains everything so freaking well:

Driving halfway to Utah to pick up four extra kids for the week!!

Clyde taking his turn with freeway driving.

I'm not super good with directions and maps haha but we thinkkkkk this is the future site of the Burley Idaho temple:

Loooook who we found!

Snuggled back into the car with seven kids! (Left Will back in Nampa so we would all fit haha).

Gave my phone to the girlies in the back row with hilariously adorable results:

Haven't had a toddler for a hot minute. Forgot how perfect and also busy and wild they are:

Signed up these five cousins for a week-long swimming lessons, which was a perfect way to kick off each day!

Roll call, all present and ready.

Then every day we would head to pick up lunches at the park...

... and take them home for a picnic in the front yard:

Then naptime for this sweet baby.

Everyone was pretty happy when Zeke would wake back up haha:

When I see my brother most in his child haha.

Ohhhh I love this kiddo.

I promise Zeke got tons of sunscreen and water!! It was HOT!

Zeke and I had our own picnic in the car for part of swimming lessons!

Lunch day two.

Arts and crafts time.

Popsicle model.

Getting ready for bed:

Cutest matching sleepover girlies.

Day 3: back to swim lessons!

Lunch!

Movie date in Boise with Grandpa!!

Plus fun toys from Grandpa after the movie!!

Do I want to be a parent of babies or toddlers again? Absolutely not. Do I want to be a babysitter/aunt/friend/grandma (IN A WHILE) of little ones? Frick yeah. I can be sleep deprived again for up to a week. Probably no longer than that haha.
