The Month of June

 We have had a blast so far this summer. We've been super busy and we LOVED having family come to visit. Carrie and Nathan and their awesome girls Raven, Tessa, and Presley, all came to Tennessee from Utah. Carrie and the girls were able to stay for a month while Nathan went back to Utah for work. A month does seem like a long time, but it flew by too fast and I am so sad that it's already over. We had so much fun together. We took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese.
 We went down to Memphis to see Jamie and Katie. It was fun to take a small "road trip" and to stay up late watching chick flicks with the gals.
 Jamie's boyfriend is a fireman. Pretty cool, right? So, we took the kids to the fire hall to look around and so that the Utahans could meet Brian. It was a lot of fun to see what a lot of the things do on the trucks.
 And my kids wanted to wear Brian's helmet. Yeah, that sucker is heavy and William's head wobbled trying to balance it!
 We went to Main Street Toy Company, which is owned by my cousin and looked at the cool, vintage toys they have there and spent way too much money!
 Of course we went to the zoo. All the kids rode on the train, even Presley who couldn't make up her mind. And even Tessa who said from the beginning she didn't want to. It was SUPER hot the day we went and after kids complaining and a heat rash appearing on Presley's legs.. it was time to go.
 Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to Toot's restaurant. I don't think I need to explain why the kids thought this was hilarious. But, they did keep saying that they "ate toots for lunch." Good times.
I have many more pictures of the haps that went on while Carrie and the girls were here, but I have to wait for my camera battery to charge.
