The Kenyon's Visit Part 1

The Kenyons came in June for three whole weeks. We cleared out schedule as much as possible (only leaving piano, violin, and baseball as our must dos) so we could spend as much time as possible with them. 

The first few days were hot, but after that it cooled off a lot. Luckily we got a lot of swimming in the first few days. (and the kids swam on the cold days too :))

Coleman had baseball practice. Kenzie, Nati, and Cam came with us to practice and were his cheering squad. Every time he'd catch the ball they'd scream "Good job, Colie!"

We went to Wild Waves! Sam, Alli, and Cam skipped school so they could come with us. This is Sam and Kenna

Shell and Nati

Kenzie, Cam, Nati

Back at Grandma's pool. Kenzie and Nati made up a synchronized dance in the water.

Coleman loved putting the hoop in the water and dunking in it. He liked the rest of us to rate his dunks.

We went to Kimber's graduation! I can't believe she's graduating and off to Boise State in the fall. We're going to miss her!

We watched Cam's soccer game.

Nati and Kenzie

Jordan and Coleman measured how deep the pool is. They measured about 8 feet.

Wild Waves

We were excited for Wild Waves to finally be open for the summer. We love going when everyone else is in school :)

Kenzie was cold the morning we went and bundled up under her blanket.

It was pretty empty.

Jordan, Holly, Kenzie, Jackson, Coleman, and Ben all rode the Disco.

This ride is kind of crazy. It spins while going up and down. It was Coleman's first time on it. From the moment it started he did not like it. At one point he yelled "I'm going to die!" But fortunately, he survived :) 

Coleman, Holly, and Eden.

Heroes Card Game

Jackson created a Heroes of Might and Magic card game. Jordan and he have spent a lot of time playing it. 

First Sleepover

Kenzie had a friend (that wasn't family) sleep over for the first time last month. She was so excited! She had slept at Allie's house a few weeks before and was happy to have her sleep here.

Allie has the same pajamas as Coleman so he let Kenzie borrow his so Kenzie and Allie could be twins.

Key of Liberty Awards Night

Jackson received his Key and ribbons for all the hard work he did for his Key of Liberty co-op class.

Meridian Soccer

Jackson's middle school soccer season ended at the beginning of June. He loved playing and was sad it was over. He played center mid the whole season. His team came in 3rd behind two teams that tied for first. 

Wonka

Mackenzie had her Wonka themed dance recital on June 1st. She was a Blueberry (ballet),  Bubblegum(jazz), and she also got an extra part as a Golden Ticket. She did a great job and loved every moment of performing!

 The night before we had a long 3.5 hour dress rehearsal.

I always sign up to chaperone because I want to be able to record her dances. 

Golden Tickets

The Golden Tickets danced with the Wonka Bars. 

Bubblegum. She's in the front on the left. 

Blueberries. She's on the middle right. 

Violet turned into a blueberry :) Kenzie's doing a cartwheel on the right.

The rest of the pictures are from performance day. She had two performances. I went to both. Doug and the boys, my mom, and Cam all came to the second one. 

Kenzie was so excited to receive the 5 year award. She's been looking forward to it since her first year dancing. She received a picture of her from her first recital.

All the 5 year award kids.

We found Kenzie during intermission so Cam and Grandma could say hi since they weren't going to stay after the finale when all the awards were given.

She received the 5 year award for the second recital too :)

Big Kenzie and Little Kenzie.
