June 2011

Well we had a fun and HOT June this past summer. Preston's family was evacuated from Eagar for a week due to the Wallow fire threatening the town. Very fortunately all ended up being fine with their homes but it was a huge fire and at times very intense. The fire hit literally too close to home for them. While they were here we took advantage of the cousin time. One of the days we went to Encanto Amusement Park.

They had a ride that was similar to the Tea Cups at disneyland that I did not go on.

Ryan and Taylor on the airplanes.

Natalie Nathan and Daniel on the jeeps.

Taylor and Ryan on the mini dragon roller coaster.

Nathan and Daniel on a ride that is similar to jumping jellyfish at California Adventure Park.

Andrea with the kids on the carousel. I was glad to have Andrea and Stephen there to take my kids on the rides that I couldn't go on pregnant.

Ryan Taylor and Natalie with a pilot salute.

A train ride that went around the park.

Taylor and Ryan playing in the castle equipped with soaker guns. This was great to get wet because it was HOT that day.

We welcomed a new cousin on June 14th. Bethany June. Seeing the kids around this little girl was a major realization as to what our little family will consist of in the coming weeks.

Preston turned the big 35 in June.

We also went to a Dbacks game while the cousins were in town. The kids all got a free ticket voucher through the summer reading program. We took advantage of the free tickets and very discounted tickets for the adults.

Aren't we a good looking couple? :-) The guy in the white shirt behind us makes me chuckle.

Natalie entertaining herself with my ipod touch.

She spent a lot of the last part of the game going up and down the stairs.

We also all went out to dinner at Famous Dave's to celebrate Father's Day while the family was in town. Taylor loves the pig.

Father's Day 2011. The last Father's Day with only 3 kids.

So as you can see we have done a lot of fun things even though I haven't blogged about them all. At least I took the pictures, that is a bit of a miracle all in itself.
