June 2010

June was a super busy month for us!We went twice to Fire Safety Town to learn about emergencies (weather and basic first aid) and to play.
Happy Father's Day! Surprise! Brian helped me get a couch stuck in the stairway! OK, the surprise was actually supposed to be a redone front room...
#3 (standing up) had twilight camp. They were SOOOO sad when 2 of the 5 days were cancelled due to weather!
Father & Son's campout (actually from May) was a hit. I wonder if this was a common sight?
#3's class met for a farewell party outside of school hours. #3's teacher this year was quite literally a miracle for him, so it didn't surprise us that in 3 of these quadrants he painted reminders of her.
#3 turned 8 and was baptized. This is the cake he designed to decorate with mom.
The big day was actually postponed a day because Gram and Aunt Em brought with the the worst flu bug in recent LeBaron history. :) Know the song "Life is a Battlefield"? It applied.
Basketball! Lots of it!
#1 went to scout camp for the first time. Dad got to go for 3 days, too. He absolutely loved it and really made some progress. He's very close to becoming a Star Scout. He didn't mind the treats Dad surprised him with, either.
No big fish stories possible with cameras. :) And no glasses because he dropped them in the lake...
The whole group...
BOOK CLUB! We absolutely love to read. When we read "How to Train Your Dragon," we tried out some "how to" recipes for play dough, decided which was best, and talked about why.
I absolutely love this pic of #4 at a splash park with some friends!
We went and earned the bowling belt loop for scouts.
#2 also had Twilight Camp. As a Webelos scout, he also got to camp out with his Dad. This boy loved every minute, even in the humid and blistering heat!
We took lots of swim lessons. This year mom is finally confident taking the whole crew swimming since 1 through 4 are independent swimmers just working on their strokes.
We, of course, started the summer with our "big rocks" and "small rocks" discussion, which really sets the tone and helps us focus first on goals and then on squeezing in every last bit of fun we can manage!
We went to several movies, always with at least one friend, even if it meant mom or Aunt Allie sitting in the trunk of the van.
