First half of June according to IPHONE!

We got me some lefty clubs so I can join in on the golfing with the boys!

 We grabbed a bunch of top soil to raise the ground level along our house where we had some flooding in our basement. Now that the crack is filled and we added some dirt, hopefully we will be set for awhile! The boys spent the hole time jumping across all the bags!

 We have loved our random play days with the Johnsons! We have gone to parks and just played at the house.

 Makayla loved the water. She will jump right in!

 I just thought this picture was too funny!

 Sonic!

 Kellie's sister-in-law got PJ's for all the grandkids on our side. Too cute!

 We got some of these beads from the craft store and the kids spent hours and hours making tons of them!

 My little escaper:)

 She will run in circles in this jumper, it is too funny!

Happy Father's Day!

Yesterday was Father's Day. I have several amazing fathers in my life, but I wanted to write about how grateful I am for Dan. He is truly my better half! He makes sure any extra time at the end of the day is 100% dedicated to our kids before they go to bed. He loves spending time with them and they love their daddy! Happy Father's Day to this amazing daddy and to our Dad's!

His gift:)

Jeff and Tamee's Wedding!

The wedding festivities began Wednesday at the family dinner. There was delicious food, entertainment, and a big family to celebrate with!

 I have a lot of video, but the kids all sang, followed by a couple other musical numbers, and then some got up to say a few words. My favorite was Adriel getting everyone up there dancing to  "Because I'm Happy!"

 The next day we had the sealing at 11am. It was a neat experience and one I am glad I was able to attend. Dan was one of the witnesses and it was so special to look around and see so many siblings on Jeff's and Tamee's side (given there are 8 kids on both sides). The looks on their faces and particularly the parent's faces seeing them there together was a highlight. Also, right when Tamee walked in the look on her face said it all. The Spirit was so strong there and you could tell by both of their faces that they were extremely happy to be there and to be there together.
I love meeting and learning about people like this, this is Sister Hess (not sure the spelling). She was one of the missionaries that worked with Dan's mom and dad when they joined the church. There was another couple there that I did not capture as well. I love hearing stories and learning more about that time. We are so grateful for her and for her decision to serve and find people like the Burkholders!

 The happy couple!

 Off to the reception!

 The siblings, minus Hans and Joel.

 The boys!

 They had over 50 nieces and nephews there to celebrate and Tamee's mom sewed all the girls dresses! They also gave them each bags with treats and toys to play with.

 Burkholder kids!

 Train ride around This Is The Place Park

 We were all laughing so hard when Jeff and Bada busted out the moves. To top it off it was not Jeff's idea, but momma B's! I have the video for black mailing purposes later...

 Tons and tons of dancing!

 Tamee threw enough roses for all the nieces followed by them all dancing and singing "Let it go" together. So cute!

 Congratulations to Jeff and Tamee! We are all so happy for you guys!

Willard Bay-Happy Birthday Auntie D!

Saturday we headed over to Willard Bay to join the Slades. The kid's loved the RV, popping out their heads to tell me, "Mom! It is AWESOME in here!" They loved playing Legos in there and watching some Frozen. We headed over to the Bay for a little bit of swimming and the kids did not want to leave! Apparently we have some fish on our hands!

 After swimming we had a tasty BBQ!

 Followed by some Smores

 Thanks Slades for the fun outing and Happy Birthday DeeAnn!
