It's hard getting used to being around your siblings ALL DAY LONG in the summer. 

But games of Go Fish and Sonic milkshakes do help.

Out for dinner at Red Robin.  Dave has this amazing ability of winning a stuffed animal from the "claw" machine every time.  He won one for Presley tonight.  

Day 172, Saturday, June 21st

Just a lazy Saturday morning. 

Day 173, Sunday, June 22nd

The boys practicing soccer.  I was sitting in a lawn chair watching and Ry moved the rebounder in front of me so I wouldn't get hit by the ball...such a tender gesture to be thinking of his mom. 

Day 174, Monday, June 23rd

Presley and Ry were at science camp this week.  Presley had received a reading list in her report card and wanted some of the books for over the summer.  She asked Logan and I to go to the library and check a couple out for her.

Father's Day, June 15th, 2014

My parents hosted a breakfast for Samee and Nate at the Marriott on Sunday, Father's Day.  We ate breakfast and watched them open their wedding gifts.  Then we drove back home to Wenatchee in the afternoon.

My whole life on one chair!!

I just think my Papa is the coolest..

I thought this was a nice picture of Papa with his kiddos...

The seven Kreider cousins with their Papa Berries...

Thomas with a sleeping Rylan at breakfast. 

I wish I would have gotten a picture of Nate on his first Father's Day.

I also didn't get a picture today with my dad.  He was floating around the breakfast room with the energy he always seems to have, schmoozing with all the guests that showed up for breakfast.

Last Day of School: June 13, 2014

Friday the 13th was Wenatchee School District's last day of school. 

I am one happy mama to be done with this 6th grade year.

So is Logan. 

Sunnyslope had a long awards assembly. Presley got ribbons for doing track, Math is Cool, Girls on the Run, K-Kids, and getting 100 % in the Passport Club. 

Rylan's report card was so, so good.  Presley's was very good too.  I loved his teacher's comments. 

Rylan got Mrs. Howard for 2nd grade. 

Presley had her for first grade so I was happy that he got her. 

And it was an extra special day because it was also Samee's wedding week-end so we drove to the Tri-Cities for the rehearsal tonight.  It's always special to see our cousins.
