June: Family Pictures and All the in Between

 I really loved the cacti in Arizona, so we got our own family photos put together while we were there! 

Sure grateful for these people. It has been a joy watching them become who they are right now and I can't wait for what's in store. But they could take their time. This age is probably my favorite. 

We finished out the month with so many random things. 

Our friend took our family photo and make us all Hogwarts students. I can't believe what AI can do! 

I had to take a really dumb test and the lab worker was really mean to me. I mean, I deserved it more than a little bit, but she was still mean. Thank goodness for Tyler being there. I made it through and did not test positive for H. Pylori. THANK GOODNESS!

I thought FOR SURE everyone was going to have cavities. I mean, I SEE the way they brush their teeth. Everyone proved me wrong and earned their cavity free $20! Grayson is so close to 6ft tall it's unreal!

We decided to step back from devices on Sunday. No personal devices. Only things that can be done or watched as a family. As a result, Mario Party, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros has made a swift return. It's funny to watch them freak out together. 

Lyla lost two great-grandmas this year and they both think she's very special. They both had the same type of watch and Lyla wears them now and again to remember those special ladies! There are still a few flowers here and there. I especially enjoyed these purple one. Our tree usually has a nest, this year a few babies fell out, but we're pretty sure they survived and learned to fly because we didn't see them again! 

May and June were so long and so busy! I'm tired, pray for me!

Until next time...

June: Carlsbad Caverns

 We took a small detour on the way home to stop at Carlsbad Caverns. Our family loves a good cave. I wasn't feeling up to all that walking so I stayed in the car and did a little crochet to help pass the time. Tyler made the kids do the long walk down and they whined the entire time. Family bonding if you ask me. 

Children used for scale, but the pictures never truly do caves justice!
