June 2024

June was a packed month! It was such a busy summer, and looking back on pictures I can see why it felt nonstop!




Sunday dinner birthday celebration.



The Craigs officially moved and we're all heart-broken!


I watched a baby from church who's a few months older than Rebecca.

The boys were a big help!

Rebecca's first time noticing the fish at the aquarium.

Last Sunday before the move!






Bea gave Liam this adored rocket ship Lego set. Liam was in HEAVEN! 










Grandma and Bampa came for Peter's baptism.

Peter was baptized!


Grandma and Bompa, Kathryn, Jacob, the Decker family, Grandma and Papa, Uncle Ryan, Grandma Bear, and Aunt Sybrina all came.

We used our fine china for the first time for his baptism luncheon. He loves fancy things so it was really exciting for him.



Father's Day breakfast for Lamoni and his dad.






We watched a friend's daughter one day and she loved helping with Rebecca.

Playdate with Iris





Top Golf again with Mel and Melinda




Benjamin has been perfecting making cinnamon rolls. Grandma commissioned some from him.




We loaded up and drove to Colorado for a couple weeks.




First stop was Beaver Creek, Colorado for Suzuki music camp. It was absolutely gorgeous.


Rebecca loved the pool. We'd go swimming any chance we got between classes or during lunch.




We were shocked by Liam, who participated in his classes! First time he's ever done something like that. 


The boys took a Broadway musical theater class. They weren't thrilled about it, but I think they ended up having fun.

Lots of concerts.

Peter's masterclass

Pizza in the plaza


Liam looked so grown up going to his classes.

His teachers were all so good and non-pushy with him.

Dalcroze class

Benjamin's masterclass

Lots of watching classes and baby snuggles

Benjamin's favorite class - chamber group


Evenings were for concerts and exploring the village.



Peter's musicianship class

Peter's piano group class

Grandma came along even though she wasn't doing well and was a huge help!



Rebecca was invited to the baby music class. We could only make it a couple times because the kids' schedules were crazy, but it was so cute!

Benjamin's technique class



Movie and hot chocolate in our condo. Charity and her kids came too.

Benjamin was nominated for an honors concert! We didn't know about the audition for the normal honors concert and he was disappointed we missed that. So it was nice he still had a special performance opportunity.










Final concert - Benjamin is on the far left.


Taking the bus to the final concert.


Even more shocking than Liam participating in his classes was that he got on stage (ok, I carried him, but he agreed) and played!


We're missing Nathaniel, but here are the rest of the performers.

After Suzuki camp we drove a couple hours south to an Airbnb where we met up with a college friend and her kids to hang out for a few days.
                

We stopped at an ice cream shop in an adorable mountain town.

It was the perfect place and weather for relaxing.






We stayed near Bishop's Castle (google it!). It was out of this world. I can't believe they let people on there. Sooo scary! I went down with the little kids while Lamoni took the older kids to the very top.





We had lots of fun playing games.


Do you see this?! 





The holes in the railing were definitely not close enough.
















Lamoni took the boys on a campout with the young men from church.
