What month is it?

Where did June go? I can’t believe it’s July already! We had quite a busy June. After we returned home from a long Memorial Day weekend in Kansas City we had Jeremy’s family from Utah over for a week. It always goes by way too fast. We took them to the zoo and went over to Nana and Grandpa’s for a day of fishing and swimming. They got to see Avery’s recital as well. She did awesome and was so excited. She said, “I felt funny in my stomach but, I just went out anyway!” That’s my girl.
After everyone headed home, we headed back to Kansas City. On Mother's Day, Jeremy had surprised me with tickets to see Glenn Beck. Nana and Grandpa went down to KC and watched the kiddos while we went to the show. It was awesome.I even got a picture with Stu (Beck's long-time producer). What a great date night!

We got home, packed and headed out to Utah-yeah! The kids were so wonderful, a 2-day drive can be exhausting for everyone, but Aiden and Avery did amazing. We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Sadler's for a week. We headed up to Mueller Park Canyon for exploring, roasting marshmellows and of course, group pictures.

All of the Sadler grandkids.


Having a picnic at the park as a family. I love my little monkeys!



My family all came to Utah for a McGregor reunion and my gorgeous cousin's wedding. Jamie looked like she should have been on the cover of a Bridal magazine. Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

From left: Grandpa McGregor, Uncle Courtney, and Uncle Will. All in their kilts for the wedding reception.




We went for a hike up Mueller Park Canyon. After which Calle said she's move to Utah in a second.


Roasting marshmellows...and eating them.
We spent a day at temple square. Watching "Legacy" was a different experience for me than in the past. Now, with children, I had a whole new sense of gratitude for the prophet and what his entire family had to endure. Overwhelming thanks filled my heart for his whole family. I cannot imagine the kind of strength Emma Smith must have had, but I am eternally grateful for it.



The entire Weldon Charles McGregor family. We had a reunion at Zermatt resort in Midway, UT. It was so much fun, that'll be the next post...
