Utah visit

At the end of June, we made the trek to Utah to spend a quick week with the Serafines.  All of Matt's siblings were there, and it was so much fun to get to spend time with everyone.  Everyone (except for us) was in Utah last summer, but we had to stay home because Elsie was due any day.  But this year we made it up and it was a blast!

One of the days we were there we went to see Matt's Grandma and Grandpa Bradshaw.  It was fun to visit with them for a little bit and for all the great grand-kids to see them (at least from the Serafine family).  These pictures are of our kids and Brad and Mandy's kids, although Benson and Hadley were there as well.

Our first day there was on Father's day, and Lori put on a fabulous Father's day dinner.

Back yard slip and slide and cousin time.

One of the days we were there we rented wave-runners and took them to the lake.  It was so much fun.  I think the kids had the most fun, especially Jane and Annie.

We took all the kids to the Children's Discovery Museum at Thanksgiving Point.  They had a really good time, and I even ran into my old roommate, Christy Bigelow, there.  It was a lot of fun to see her and catch up for a few minutes.

Elsie is way too cute for her own good.

We loved our trip and hopefully it isn't so long before we see everyone again.  : )

Graham's last day of preschool and a school party

Graham's last day of school was on June 19th.  This school year went by sooo quickly.  Graham loved school.  He loved going each time and playing with his friends.  I think it was the highlight of his week.  Now that school is over, he isn't quite sure what to do with himself.  He keeps asking me if it is a school day yet.  Graham had the cutest little friends at school.  Every day he'd come home and tell us about what they played that day, which was either Paw Patrol, Star Wars, or Octonauts.  At the end of the year, thought, his teacher, Miss Amy, hosted a party for all her students at the kids play ground on base.  All the siblings were invited and Mason was so excited to be able to join in on the fun.

climbing, standing, and other silliness

An M&M fell down into the crevasses in the car.  I wasn't about to let it melt in there.  It was tricky to find, though, and Mason wanted it back once we found it.

The toy room was clean for a minute, I promise.  : )

Hey, climbing baby!

Yes, this camper is as close as it seems.  Super annoying.

Mason gets a haircut

Graham does his own hair...

Graham's rendition of Captain America.  Can you see it?  

Super heroes! 

This soda is the result of two bad decisions.  1.  We ordered a medium.  Since when is this a medium?  We should have gotten a small.  2.  Diet Sprite. We're cutting back on sugar, but diet Sprite isn't very good.  We should have stuck with water.

Nice shades.

Elsie loves the little truck.

Even in a busy, busy library, Mason was still captivated by a good book.
