June Things

Nils ended his soda fast on June 4th, so we had a party to celebrate. Did I remember to take pictures of said party? No I didn't. I'm really bad at taking pictures of things I'm in charge of. We had friends from the neighborhood come, and it was good times. 

The house has footings and a foundation. We enjoy checking on its progress a little too much. It's nice that it's about a 10 minute drive, and we may be a little over eager. Pretty weird to be this excited about a house we won't live in, I think. 

Father's Day ice cream after church, and Father's Day lunch for Nils: his traditional cookie dough, club crackers, extra sharp cheddar cheese, and Coke. Quite the combo. 

Aani turned 16! She wanted a fancy picnic with friends. The weather didn't cooperate, so she had a fancy picnic inside the house. Again, I took no pictures (too busy doing all the things). She had a charcuterie board and fruit platter, Italian sodas, and a fancy cake that had gross frosting and cost a lot. Note to self: learn how to make fancy cakes with good frosting.

She's finishing up all her driving requirements to get her license and is excited! 

Bear Lake: We took a recon and research trip up to Bear Lake before our family reunion. We spent one night to get a lay of the land as it stands currently. We had some grand times in those 28 hours.

This made me LOL.

We spent our one night at the KOA in this cute cabin, and it was inspirational for what we might want one day in Fairview. Tiny home vibes for sure, but great for a little getaway? 

We drove all the way around the lake, and enjoyed the gorgeous sunset. We stopped and skipped rocks for about an hour. We do love our rock skipping time.

Anders was sad because he hurt his shoulder by jumping off a li'l cliff to get to the water, instead of going down the safer way. :( 

Spent some time at the Bridgerland Adventure Park. Ropes course, giant swing, tubing downhill, etc. 
Family reunion approved! 

I do love me a good Kermit meme:

 

Updates:

Anders is working, feeling a li'l better, tryna figure out what comes next. His job might be ending soon, depending if they can secure more funding at this start up. Regardless, he's loved it and it has been just what he's needed, so we're thankful.

Addie's head guarding at the pool and would spend the rest of her life at the outdoor pool if that was an option. She still has school in the mornings for her billing and coding course. She loves her downtime. 

Aani is having a pretty relaxing summer. Not too many hours are happening and McDonald's lately, which is lame. She's burning through Gilmore Girls, and we've all decided that everyone on that show is toxic. 

Ava has had tennis most mornings in June, has been burning through audio books, and has an insane next 6 or so weeks coming up. Girls camp, family reunion, FSY, tennis camp, Hawaii, and then school starts. Aani has all that too, minus tennis camp. Hope they've enjoyed a relaxing June, cuz things are about to get cray! 

Nils is currently at Priest/Teachers Camp at Flaming Gorge. I'm drowning in RS at the moment. Calgon take me away!
