June

- We found quail eggs in our front bush and were so excited to see them hatch.  (Baby quails are one of my favorites!) The only problem that we realized is that quails hatch and are immediately mobile.  So we went out to check one morning and they were cracked and gone.  We searched the street and found them in the neighbor's yard!  They were so cute and fast.  We tried to keep track of them for a couple days - it felt like we were babysitting them.  We realized that they feel in a neighbor's window well.  Our neighbor, Marty, helped us get them all out but then later we checked the window well again and one had been left there.  So Andrew got down in there and rescued it and then we searched the neighborhood again to find the quail family.  We finally did and released the baby quail near its family.   
- Brandon and I hiked to Silver Lake up AF Canyon on my birthday! He got a procedure later that day, and was back to work the next day and fixing the sod around our new in-ground trampoline. 
- Look at all the Parker babies that we have to play with - so fun!
- Back to church with masks - the kids are less than thrilled.
- I bet the neighbor's are appreciating the port-a-potty that has been in our front yard for weeks, but we are making some serious progress on the attic/garage addition!!
- Summer = AF band practice
- I am making a better effort to hike with my friends and it has been so fun!
- I don't think we're going to be able to have girls camp this summer, so we got them all shirts and Rachel and I made a video on how to tie dye them with bleach.  I realized why I am not an internet star - it was rough!  ha ha

June - Carson (almost 3)

 - Loves playing with Ruby & Margo (recently moved to our street), and cousin Ryan, cousin Luke & Gavin (even if it means dressing up at Nana's), still likes the band but not obsessed like he used to be, and  loves his babysitter, Katie!  

- Carson's first stitches happened this month.  His room was a mess, and he tripped and hit his ear on the dresser.  He was a rock star and hardly moved.  He did so good, I was so impressed.  He got a card full of stickers from Rachel's friend, Brinnley (who moved to Florida) and he kept it for a long time.

June - St. George with the Gray's

We invited Kelsey and her kids to come with us to St. George.  We had a place in a neighborhood called Paradise Village that had a fun waterpark with a lazy river.  It was quite hot, but our kids had such a good time with them - we went to a train park, a nearby reservoir and hung out at our place.  It was a lot of fun and a covid-friendly weekend!

Rachel turns 12!

Rachel turned 12 this month and we were able to celebrate with cousins and a few close friends from school (Livvy, Ellie, Payton & Tyler).  She's a fantastic birthday buddy and is so nice to share the day with me!
