Busy June!!!!!

Hello lovely readers,

I hope you have been able to enjoy this wonderful month of June!!!! It's been a super busy one for us. I feel like we haven't stopped since before memorial day. We were able to visit with our of state relatives, see my sister graduate, throw a graduation party, go on vacation, and unwind at the camper.

June started out with my brother and sister in law coming home to celebrate my sister's high school graduation. We spent as much time with them that we could and it was so nice. We went to dinner and pins one nice and Justin and I were deemed the trash can beer pong champions!!!! I never win any games so this was very exciting for me because believe it or not I made many shots. We also went to air force museum. If you have not been there I highly recommend taking a day to check it out. There is so to learn honestly it would take several trips to really let it all sink in. I can't wait to go back and I'm so glad we got to go there and see the actual plane my brother works on everyday. We spent a lot of time celebrating my sister too. She has graduated highschool and she's entering adult life.

We went to her graduation and had a big party at our house to celebrate her accomplishments. We love you so much Layna and are very proud of you. Her party had a great turn out and it was so nice to have some many friends and family at one place at the same time. The party was a big hit and lasted all night long. I didn't make it as late as everyone else but I had a great time.

My grandparents came in for my sister's party also so we spent a good amount of time with them once my brother left. I love that we have been given the opportunity for our kids to grow up with so many relatives that love them so much. I just love seeing their excitement when they get to spend time with their family.

Then last week we spent the week in Oscoda, Michigan with Justin's family. The trip was amazing. We went there without any set plans and just enjoyed everyday relaxing, seizing the moment, and visiting with family. Max spent most of his time riding his balance bike and power wheels. He is fearless and he is always keeping me in my toes. I think Myla's favorite activity on the trip was mini golf. Most of the time she just goofed around but surprisingly she made a hole in one all on her own. Justin loved seeing Inside Out 2 in their local movie theater.Jack just loved being on vacation and seeing his family and I really enjoyed rock hunting. If you have not been rock hunting for unique rock on the beaches Michigan you are missing out.

This was our first week back to reality and we decided not to take it too serious. Once my work week was over we spontaneously decided to make a trip to the camper, where we are currently enjoying doing nothing.

While all of this craziness has been going on we have been doing a little bit of homeschooling here and there. My mother in law and I have attended a co-op new members meeting and we are excited to start this new scary journey.

Overall the month of June has been a bit exhausting but it's been so amazing having so much time with one another. These are the moments I live for, time with the ones I love. This month I've really been trying to slow down, enjoy the moment we are in, and be calm. I am so glad I get to spend so much time with my kiddos. They really are growing up too fast. When I say I am in my mom era I mean it. I love being a mom and I am trying so hard to be in the moment with my kids.

I hope your month has been amazing and July is even better!

Remember when things get stressful and difficult these are just small moments in our lives that feel hard. Things will get easier so enjoy each moment you are given!!!!

Blog for you soon!!!!
