THE ADVENTURES OF JUNE ...

FATHER'S DAY

We spent Fathers Day Skaintz Style at the Skagg's house by their pool and had a great day! We actually met up with the Skagg's crew the night before for a drive in movie, which was our first time ever and all our kids except for Charlotte zonked out in the back of the truck before the movie was even over!! It was fun and definitely something I would love to go do again! From there we had a sleepover and crashed at the Skaggs house!

Clay started the "shoot a gatorade bottle in the air while doing a cannon ball" trick and everyone joined in on the fun!!

SAN DIEGO

Clay and I made a mommy daddy trip to San Diego to get away for the weekend. We had been running and running between sports and school and work and decided it was time to get away and spend some quiet, quality time together. We spent the weekend hanging on the beach, fishing, eating and soaking in the silence!! We also got to see my friend Shannon and meet her fiancé Mark ... they came down from Fullerton and spent the day with us one day while we were down there!! It was so so so good to see her and meet this special man in her life!

The weather was pretty cloudy and gloomy the whole time we were there so we only got one sunset, if you can even call it that, but I was able to capture the little bit of a sunset we did get!! We went out on the pier to fish one day and Clay caught this big ol sting ray! It was quite the fight to get it in, took about 25 to 30 minutes! We really enjoyed this little escape from reality!!

We spent a few days out at the lake and Bubba even got to come with us, pretty sure he thought he died and went to doggy heaven getting to go to the lake again!!! Rilyn loves to help daddy drive the boat and almost always falls asleep at some point in the day while we are cruising the lake!

One Sunday morning I woke up and came out of my room to find Trey & Rilyn snuggled up together in the recliner watching cartoons! One of my favorite things is when the kids get all snuggled up together and times like this!

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS ....

Trey lost his other front tooth eating corn on the cobb ... he is now officially front toothless!!! 

HEBER

We made a trip to Heber with the Haines Family and the Sharp Family and had a great time ... totally eating up the beautiful weather. We spent the weekend relaxing at the cabin and even got in an afternoon of fishing.

One of Rilyn's most favorite things to do with her Momma is to color and craft so we colored pictures together one evening and anyone who knows Rilyn knows that she is a girl of many faces and very animated. So while we were coloring, she was cracking both herself and me up making all kinds of faces at me! I had no choice but to grab the camera!!

NEW BIKE

Trey has been saving his own money for quite a while and decided he wanted to buy himself a new bike.  So daddy took him to the store and this is the one he picked out!

Its funny because since he bought this bike himself he treats it like gold and always makes sure that it is parked in the garage ... he takes the best care of it!!

Rilyn loves to give her Momma foot massages and I'm not complaining one bit ... its heaven!!! I hook her up with some of my special lotion and she goes to town!! One night I talked her into letting me rub her feet but she just giggled and said it tickled!!

FUNNIES WITH RILYN

So I can't conclude this post without sharing some funny moments that we've had ... with Rilyn of course!! She really is the family comedian and totally keeps us on our toes and laughing daily!! So just to mention a few:

* One night Rilyn set the table (which is usually her job at dinner) and when we sat down to eat we realized she had given both her brothers girl plates, Trey Princess and Rhett Strawberry Shortcake and herself Spongebob. Rhett was not very happy about this at all!!

* One Sunday me and Rilyn got out of the shower and she asked me for lotion, make up, pee-fume and on and on!! Then she brought me a barette asking if I would put it in her hair. Finally I asked her who she was getting all puurrttied up for anyways and she gave me the duh mom look and replied "the mirror"!! 

* Rilyn's prayers these days go a little something like this "Good Lord, I hope Grandpa and Grandma get better, thank you for food, amen"!!

* So we had been talking about the "MiMi Fairy" coming to take away Rilyn's binky's when she turns 3 (compliments of the Creel Family who we got this idea from) for a couple of weeks and one night at bedtime we were looking and looking for a mimi when all the sudden Rilyn remembered ... she goes "Oh ya" lifted up her pillow and there it was .... I asked her why it was under there and she said "so the  mimi fairy won't find it"!!
