JUNE.

 June is here and it's still wet.  Very wet!  Normally, when school lets out we hit the pools but it's been wet and cool.  We are ready for the summer like weather to arrive!



Something that's been super cool and fun to watch is when Mike helps Matthew's ball team play baseball!  This is the first that they played together after many years of Mike coaching Matthew!


He's still such a good ballplayer!



And we had our first two days in a row at the pool simply to get our skins a little tanned before the wedding day arrives!  It was so fun watching the kids swim and enjoy this beautiful place once again!  We are members and we love it here!



And the food is top notch!!!!!


The garden is thriving in all the rains!  Watching the sun set is so pretty over the garden!



So many poppies!

I planted dahlias in the raised bed that I normally have tomatoes.  They seem to be thriving!!!!





And my favorite things to watch grow in the garden is cabbage!  It goes from tiny to huge so fast!



Hadassah and Gunnar joined us at the pool one day!  Mike was golfing and came to say hello to us!  Just living our best lives being grandparents!


Let's do all of these!!!!


I took a walk around the house and grabbed some flowers in bloom.  I don't think poppies do great in bouquets but I'm gonna try it out!

And I was right.  The bouquet turned out beautiful but the next day, the poppies were all drooped.


The garden at night time!!!!


The girls are off for a bachelorette party to celebrate Daisy and this is my first full day with baby Gunnar!!!!  He did so good!  Hadassah may have been in tears and missing him but he was an angel and I loved every bit of it!!!!!  He's so cute!!!!



This is a busy month for us!  Pool days!  Wedding day approaching!  The big boy will be packing up and moving out.  Ball games are going strong.  Hair appointment.  Nails done pretty!  Dresses mended and hemmed for the big day!  Help Matthew and Daisy with house projects.  Rehearsal.  Rehearsal dinner.  Lot's of big changes are coming up.  Lord help me!!!!!


Sports!

 We love sports here in our family!  The boys are playing baseball and Mike is helping both teams.  For Austin, he plays in a church league and loves it!  If it's game day, he is waiting for the time to head for the ballpark all afternoon!  Mike helps coach and is the team pitcher!  In the lowest bracket in this league, a dad pitches to their team.  Mike is the Flames pitcher for every game!  

Matthew is playing slow pitch ball one night and fast pitch on another night.  Mike was asked to help play when they need a fill in and he's been playing left field and loving it!  Both Matthew and Mike are enjoying to finally play some baseball together!  It's been years of Mike coaching Matthew in the younger days and now they get some games together!

Ashlyn began quads volleyball at LBC!  Going into high school sports, this is excellent practice for these freshman girls!  




What a view!  I said we remodeled the house almost ten years ago that there will not be balls in the living room.  That's not true and it's OK!




Ascension Day happened and we read the Bible verses talking about Jesus ascending into heaven.  I cannot imagine all the questions and thoughts that the disciples would have had when they saw this!  Jesus will come back again for his church, the bride, some day soon!!!!
