June 2011
- Moved into our new house
- Had to go back to work after maternity leave
- Bought a new Honda Pilot - it still isn't big enough for our huge family....
- Spent much of the month unpacking, painting, and spending way too much money on furniture
- Went to my favorite concert ever... JOURNEY ♥
- I turned 38... ugh
- Another summer concert: Sublime and 311. awesome
- Kids started back to school (Kesley ~ senior; Ash ~ 9th; Dallin ~ 6th; Max ~ 5th; Hallie ~ 1st; and Audrey ~ pre-school) 6 kids at FIVE different schools!
- Spent most of the month trying to get into a groove and routine for school.
- Welcomed a new 6 weeks old kitten into our family. She's adorable... named her Mocha.
- Kes turned 18! EEK! How am I the mom of an 18 year old!
- Ryder blessed by his grandpa Black
- Spence turned 42
- Halloween! Kes was a nurse, Ash and Max were zombies, Dallin was a master ninja, Hallie and Audrey were fairies, and Ryder was a dinosaur.
- Ash turned 15 and Audrey turned 5.
- Thanksgiving at Spence's grandpa's, with another feast at our house the following Sunday
- Black Friday with Spence, Ash and Kes... and Ryder in my baby bjorn carrier. He loved it. Target crowds were insane, but we got some awesome loot. :)
- Spent 3 days in San Fransisco for work while the insane winds of 2011 ripped our roof off and tried to destroy our neighborhood. Seriously, I could NOT believe all the damage when I came home.
- Attended various Christmas parties and holiday shopping excursions....
- We had a wonderful Christmas and loved spending time with our kids. Santa was SO good to them this year... they were all very happy.
- Happy New Year!
- Dallin started playing Jr Jazz basketball
- Hallie turned 7
- I've been SO busy month at work with reports and grants due...
- Dallin turns 12 and becomes a deacon. So proud of him.
- Happy Valentines - Spence and I usually celebrate this holiday as our official start to our relationship. It's now been 3 years. And I am more in love with him every day.
- Dallin goes on his first Scout campout. He was SO excited and had a blast.
- Max turned 11.
- Took our kids on a surprise trip to Disneyland. They had NO idea we were leaving until the morning of. I will post a separate post about this one - with lots of pics.
There are MANY more Disney pics to come in my next post (which hopefully won't take another 6 months to get on here)...
