01: This picture was really taken yesterday, but bears mentioning. Nathan won the Sportsmanship Award for his flag football team at the league awards ceremony yesterday. His teammates said he was always nice, always supportive, and a great quarterback. We are so proud of our boy!
02: The San Clemente Stake Center - where we spent 3 hours today.
03: Bishop Puckett - he spent more than 3 hours at church today :)
04: Lauren and her guitar. She has taken a couple months of lessons. We are currently looking for another teacher. Lauren is always singing, playing the piano, or strumming the guitar, much to her siblings annoyance!
05: If Sunday is the day of rest, why can't I ever get out of the kitchen?!
06: The kangaroo paw in our backyard has grown crazy-good this spring.
07: My good friend, Gina Steimle and me. Gina and I met almost 14 years ago when we both lived in the Carlsbad Stake. She did my hair for many years. Now we both live in San Clemente, in different wards. We get together every 4-6 months for lunch. Tonight we met up at the church at Seminary graduation. So glad I had my camera with me. (And so happy we are color-coordinated for the picture!)
08: My friend, Elizabeth, who started me on this 12 of 12 thing also introduced me to her delicious whole wheat bread. Click to download the recipe Download Gillespie Whole Wheat Bread-1 I must admit I am having mixer envy. I only have a Kitchenaid, so must half the recipe. I would really love the Bosch!
09: Mini-midgets on the loose! Ashley invented this silly "game", if you can really call it that. The kids put their jammie pants on, knees first, so that it's like their legs are cut off at the knee. Then they scoot around the floor, up and down the stairs, even pull themselves up on the couch. It is pretty hilarious to watch.
10: Nathan's room. Someday this will all look different as he grows up, so I wanted to capture his 8-year-old room just as it is now.
11: Ah, 14! Emily is finally getting too cool for Mom and her silly camera.
12: Another shot, not from today, but needs to be documented. Maren learned to ride her bike without training wheels this week. A bit of a late bloomer, mainly because we, her parents, were not diligent about getting out there and helping her. And also because Maren has decided princesses are not cool anymore. (She got her princess bike for Christmas.) How sad is that?!
Happy June!
