June!

June was super fun!

Started off meeting up with friends at a strawberry patch to pick strawberries. So yummy! We made homemade strawberry ice cream with the left over berries we didn't inhale. It was delicious!

P ended his first season playing soccer. He really enjoyed it, and was on a team with some great boys. He's signed up to play again in the fall. 

After his last game. 

That same morning, Mike and I ran the Dam to Dam Half Marathon, so we were a bit late to P's 10:30 soccer game. We had a great race and great weather. Even ran into some friends at the finish line to have a beer with. That evening we attended a '90's party, so say we were beat at bedtime would be an understatement!

We hosted P's bday party a few weeks late. May is such a hard time to have a party. Everyone is so busy. He had 13 boys over and my goodness they are LOUD and have TONS of energy! The theme was Yard Wars, they played a bunch of outdoor games. Here they are learning the route for the Obstacle Course. 

Ice cream cake for the win. Porter wanted a smiley face on his cake, in Hawkeyes colors. LOL

A big highlight was having the Arizona Warins around for a week for a family wedding. We loved spending as much time with them as we could. 

Stella and Berlin were dropped off at a local pool by the,selves for the first time!!! Crazy! Their backs are to you in the pic, taking in the slides. They went there during P's bday party. I uploaded the pics out of order. 

Stella LOOOOOOVED attending the Drake Girls Basksetball Camp! loved it! The head coach is one of Porters best friends aunt (you follow that!), so P has been to games with Hank before. The coach is amazing and did such a great job with the girls. 

We went roller skating with friends one afternoon. Porter doing the Limbo!

Evening out at the ICubs game. Nicole, Berlin and Stella with Cubbie. 

A Watson Fam pic at Katelyn's wedding. Sorry about all the raccoon eyes. 

I turned 39(!!!!!!). I had two dinners out with friends leading up to the big day and the night of, tried out a new restaurant downtown. Stella and I were matching. Haha!

Stella really wanted these fake press on nails at Target. She bought them with her own money....they didn't last 30 minutes before she wanted them off. $5 down the drain.....

Lots of time is spent playing on the hammock. 

Stella and Abby P read for another ball camp. This time at Grandview College. This one wasn't as much "fun", more skill based camp, but they ended up enjoying it. Porter did a soccer camp and I know realize I didn't take any pics. Oops!

The kids wanted to go to our old neighborhood and visit the parks that we used to go to on the daily. These parks were a part of our every day life. It was really fun to visit them again. Stella remembered way more than I thought she would!

A day trip with Sara and girls was so much fun! Traveled to visit the American Gothic house then up the Herbert Hoovers Presidential Library and Museum. Great day for a road trip!
