June, minus vacations

The first half of June was busy with wrapping up the school year and a few other fun events...

Kylene & Spencer's end of year piano recital.  Kylene earned a Silver Medal and Spencer earned a GOLD medal!  He (and we) were completely surprised and excited.  In fact, he was Ms. Heather's only student to earn a gold medal!  (It is based on practice time, completed theory sheets, recital attendance, etc.)  They both progressed so much this year, and I love the sound of music filling our home.

 We finally were able to put bark down!  The final step!  The company from whome we bought the bark ended up running out, so we only got half of what we needed, but it was progress.  We did the front main area and Anneca's garden, so it was beautiful to see those two areas completely finished.  Thanks, Mark and Dirk, for your help laying the bark! What a difference a year has made in our yard!  I enjoy it every time I look out the window or walk outside. 

 Sara Edge and I participated in the Color Me Rad 5K in Airway Heights.  It was a lot of fun and a little crazy to willingly get pelted with paint and colored powder!  It was fun to see all the families whom participated.  A few hours later, we bumped into each other at Costco, both proudly displaying our new t-shirts:).

 I got to join Spencer for his 2nd Grade field trip.  They went to Riverfront Park for a picnic lunch then to Mobius Science Center.  It was a lot of fun.  (pictured below is Ryan, Noah, Aaron, Lee and Erik.)

The last day of school was Friday, June 12th.  The next few days were getting ready for our Barney family reunion in Utah, which we left for on Thursday, June 18th.  Pictures and details forthcoming!
