First of all...I'd like to say these web updates are taking more and more work with 3 kids!
June has been a month for"us" as a family. We started it off with our 9 year anniversary in which yes, we actually went out for dinner! Deana & Jay babysat all three kids for us and we snuck out for a bit. Quite a treat I'd say, and pretty good considering Evan was still so young! Our weekends are usually busy with biking, gym, getting stuff done around the house, and entertaining. We're really enjoying having our yard since it's been finished, and use it to it's fullest. The kids have a blast and it's so nice to have the afternoon shade, as we've had a blistering hot June. In all, we're just really enjoying the kids and trying to take in every moment. Having Evan has made us realize how quick they grow up.
Ehren's enjoying work, and all his extra-curricular activities (don't suppose we've mentioned before...golf, hockey, biking, running, golf, biking) :-). He helps out a lot with the kids, as he does the weekend gym, and even manages to come watch the girls swim during the week. Janelle continues to run and use the elliptical. She's hoping to find a hockey team for the fall season and may start taking some classes at the rec center here in Longmont. Hopefully this fall will bring her a new bike so we'll have another "cyclist" in the family!
One hi-light of the month was taking the kids to the outdoor movies. We went to Curious George as Longmont has outdoor movies once a week. One of Ehren's co-workers plays in a band, and they played before the movie. We made it an evening. We went and listened to the band before we settled down for popcorn and a movie. Some may say "pretty pathetic hi-light", but it was fun to see the kids reaction to seeing a movie like this. We have a big TV, but nothing like this! :-) Jaelynn's never even been to a theater, not to mention it's been years since we've even been to a drive-in. It was an exciting and inexpensive outing!
Saturday we spent doing "girly" things. The girls had gym, then we took them to get their ears pierced. Emily wanted them done so of course, so did Jaelynn. We took them to a neat kids salon where they pierced both ears at the same time. Both girls did great, and came out with smiles on their face. Dad was more stressed than either of them! :-) We have pictures on the site for you to check out!
We're expecting a visit from Blair & Darlene this month. They're doing a "cross Canada" RV trip and will be returning via the US. They plan on making a "slight detour" to visit before they head back up to Canada. Other than that...Happy Canada Day and to those of you Americans...Happy 4th! Our family is now more American than Canadian (ouch, did I just publish that?)! Evan's missing his Canadian citizenship, and we all have American. Ehren & Janelle waited quite a few years to gain that privelege! Hope you all have a good one! We'll be celebrating at friends' bbq's for both so hope you all have a good one too!
