The month of June - Sibling love, cousin time and a Family Reunion

This is a long one guys so if pictures of my kids bore you, well, then you probably no longer follow my blog. Haha!  Okay, so here were the haps in June.  If there is one thing I am grateful for, it is the relationship that Logan and Kamryn have.  Don't get me wrong, they can really get into it.  However, they also can spend a lot of time together really enjoying each others company and I love it.  It reminds me of how I used to play with Aaron, my little brother.  I hope these kids make those same memories I have with my brother.  

So, here they are after we made homemade granola bars.  They were a big hit!  No more processed granola bars for us!  :) 

I thought this was cute.  Kamryn was helping Logan ride his bike.  He was struggling with the pedals so she was pushing him along.  We later figured out that his seat was a little high.  

 This was one of my favorite activities to do as a kid.  Shucking the husk off corn.  They loved it too.

Just didn't want you to forget this cute face.  She loves playing with her siblings too. 

 We were so happy to have my brother's family come to town for a couple days.  Kamryn loves her cousin Ellie!

The boys!

 Here are just a few pictures of the 4th Annual Riley Family Reunion.  The first night we had a dance party.  Didn't take any pictures but have some great video.  I will put that in a separate post since this is already so long.
The next day we headed to Cherry Hill in Bountiful.  We had such a great day!  Overall, it was a fun reunion.

 On the way home from Utah, we had our compressor go out which meant no air conditioner.  We stopped in Mesquite and spent the day at Virgin River.  We had some dinner, went swimming after and then loaded the kids in the car for a night drive.  Spray bottles were in full use!

 The rest of June was spent relaxing at home or by the pool, enjoying Popsicles.

So, I forgot to share a couple events that took place back in May, so before I move on to June (yes, I am way behind here) I am going to quickly summarize a couple weekends.

The first one was a campout for the boys and a night out for the girls.  Jason took Logan to a "Father and Sons" campout so while they were gone I took my two girls out for some fun with some friends.  We had dinner at In-n-Out and then went back to our friends, the Daltons, for a movie and popcorn.  Kamryn had a great time with her friends, Marley and Ada.

 She was even lucky to enough to get her nails done by Britney.  We had a great night.

 Here are the boys, enjoying their campout together.

 Logan was very comfy in the tent.  They forgot pillows so Logan is sleeping on his clothes.  :)

 Overall, they had a great time together and I know Logan will be looking forward to these campouts every year. I know us girls do!

The last weekend in May, I went to Las Vegas to have a girls reunion with a bunch of my college friends.  I had a great drive up with my friend, Celeste and when we got there, things were going great.  I enjoyed dinner and talking with my friends.  Well, that night Maryn got sick.  She had a high fever, was coughing and very congested.  Neither of us got any sleep that night.  I had to sleep on a couch and Maryn slept on me most of the night.  It was rough.  The next day Maryn was still out of sorts and I was tired, uncomfortable, and hated seeing Maryn having such a rough time.   So, my wonderful husband threw our two older kids in the car and drove up to Vegas to pick me up.  How great is he!!  I was sad to have to leave my friends, but Maryn needed to get better and it was going to be hard to do when she had no room to sleep in.  Hopefully the next reunion will be more successful!

Videos for your enjoyment!

Logan attempting to blow out his candle, but it was more like spitting on the candles.  :)

Kamryn wrote a talk for church.

Last Day of Kindergarten!

 Mrs. Jensen was such a great teacher!

 Kamryn and her friend, Kristy.

Kamryn and her good buddy, Dylan!  

I still can't believe that Kamryn has finished Kindergarten.  She did such a great job and I am so proud of all that she has accomplished this past year.  It's fun to see her reading and writing and I am excited (and a little nervous) about what the first grade will bring.  :)

Dancing Queen!

If I can figure out how to post portions of Kamryns' dance recital on here, I will, because you all need to see just how adorable this girl is up on stage.

Wouldn't you want to watch this girl dance?

Bowling Night!

We took the kids bowling for the first time back in May.  Kamryn had been once before for a friends birthday, but this was the first time we went as a family and I had such a great time.  It made me realize how important it is to make memories as a family.  To make sure that we take time to spend quality time with each other.  So many smiles on this day!  

Jason was very proud of his score.

Father and Sons/Girls Night

Who says the boys have all the fun!  While the guys were out camping, we enjoyed some In-n-Out, movie and popcorn and getting our nails done!  Thanks Britney for hosting. :) 

The guys had fun too.  I just can't get enough of Logan's smile. :)

Happy 3rd Birthday Logan!

Cars, Cars, everywhere!
