A Joyous June and 4th of July

We had FUN in June!

I wish I was one of those Mom's who long for school to be out in order to spend every waking minute with my children. Unfortunately, I'm not. I'll admit to that. I love my kids and I do love spending a little extra time with them. BUT, I also miss my "me" time. Regardless, we had fun during our first month of summer.

We spent some time at the Bounce House Place. It's a great place to spend the day on a cold or rainy day. (Yes, even in June...this is PG we're talking about.)

Micah really wants to play some b ball.

Wake up Daddy and eat your Father's Day french toast, strawberries and eggs.

Gavin picked out a sports theme See's candy box for Albert.

Linnea and Gavin made this cute plaque of our rock family for Albert for Father's Day.

Gavin participated in the UK soccer camp. His coach was from Scotland. I loved his accent. Gavin loved the soccer camp! He's an awesome little soccer player!

We went for a lot of walks to spend our extra time. This picture was taken on Cannery Row in Monterey.

Love how interested Micah's face is here. Scroll down to see what he's interested in...

Seals!

Monterey cancelled their fireworks for the second year in a row and also the parade this year. But we had fun at the Huston's house partying up. Don't tell anyone about the illegal fireworks and sparklers!

Micah hardly ever looks at the camera when I'm trying to take a picture. He has so many other things to do....

Good Food at our Independence Day Celebration at the Huston's house.

I never can get Micah to look at me and smile in a picture. This is one of the few exceptions.
