More June

On June 9th Corbin officially started moving about the house, crawling in his own way. He would crawl forward with his hands but hop/scootch his back end forward. It was fun to watch but after a few weeks he figured out how it really works. No stopping him now!


We are so happy to have mom and dad close and living in such a beautiful area as Grand Lake. Our trip there in June involved riding horses, fixing fence, lots of fishing, a boat ride, and relaxing in the cool mountains! This is definitely the way to live in the summer. I enjoyed taking picture of Corbin discovering the “taste” of nature. (Every time I tried to take a picture he was putting a dandelion in his mouth.) I did get a few good ones.

This month the boys took swim lessons and they finally passed level 1. We are excited to be advancing! I think it helped that they were indoors and with better teachers this time. We look forward to putting all 3 into lessons this fall.

For 5 days at the end of June we had the privilege of having Gramie (Kathi) stay with us. It was great to catch-up and hang out. The kids loved it, playing lots of games and coloring and reading with her, and let’s not forget making those amazing cinnamon rolls together! It was also so wonderful for me to get a break. (Shopping all alone for 3 hrs!) We loved the time and the help.

Everitt is always trying to keep up with Coltin. He surprised us by counting non-stop and error free all the way to 100! Great Job, Bud. Too bad he’s not old enough to start kindergarten this fall, ‘cause he is probably smart enough.
