It's the little moments that make life big.

June was a fun filled month. Sidney graduated from Elementary School and will now be entering the 6th grade at Aspire Middle School, which is a performing Arts middle school. She is excited to be able to incorporate her passion for dance and music into her school activities.
Chase and I had a short zoo visit with the little girl that I watch a few days per week. He was very excited to see the animals and to make their noises. Some were quite comical.
The last weekend of the month, our whole family went to Spokane, Washington for an extended weekend. Eli plays a 3 on 3 basketball tournament called Hoopfest, which is always held the last weekend in June. Just like last year, we went a day early to go to Silverwood Theme Park and Water Park. It was a hot weekend in eastern Washington, which was a nice break from the crummy summer we were having at home. Eli's sister, Marie, tagged along with us this year, which was a great addition. Eli, Marie and Sidney enjoyed the rides as Chase and I watched and waited. Of course, I wasn't able to join the festivities since pregnant people are not allowed to ride. Chase was too small for most rides and wasn't too into the rides that he was tall enough for. We were all able to get into the water and play though. Chase loved that part. It was refreshing to get into the cooler water! I love the sun and heat, but being pregnant in it is a whole other story!
Eli's team did well in the tournament, they won their bracket! We didn't get to see my cousin, Jerad, play as much as I would have liked to. We were able to see him play alot last year and it was fun to watch. But, all in all, it was a fun trip and everyone enjoyed it. All but the long ride home. It was a little gruelling. Time to get ready for the 4th of July now...
