June:Garden, PV, Swimming, Summer fun

Summer always seems to busy with every weekend something going on.
The first weekend the youth in our Stake were having Youth Conference in Pine Valley.  We had all the Miamaids stay at our cabin for a couple of nights.  It was the first weekend that our cabin was completed so it was def. broke in having all those girls there. Lincoln loved making indoor smores with all the girls. :)

 Norah getting cuter and cuter by the day.

 Adam wanted to plant corn this summer---  Lincoln liked to hide in the rows and play in the water when we were watering it.  I guess he really is a true Iowan at heart.

 We spent another weekend in Pine Valley and ventured out on a hike/stroller walk up by the lake.  It was nice and cool and fun to get out and explore a bit.

 We made it to the pool a couple of times.... Norah's first real dip in a pool.  I think she liked it more than Lincoln like to swim.  This summer he has not enjoyed swimming at all in the big pool. He is happy just walking around the pool or playing in his little kiddie pool.

 He sure likes his popsicles and everytime he goes to Nana's house he goes for the freezer and asks for a popsicle.  Good thing Nana is nice and spoils him!

 Lots of kisses to little Norah. I love this girl and the cuddles I get from her.

 Lincoln had a great time with packing peanuts and a box that we got!

 We attempted finger painting--- but Lincoln HATES getting his hands dirty and sticky... so he was much happier with a brush.

 Lincoln would not let us help him put his tie on..... (he is in the stage where he wants to do everything himself.... "Lincoln Do It"  it probably his most used phrase right now.  It can be quite a challenge because most of the things he wants to do he either can't or it takes him forever. I guess this is all part of the growing up process.

 Lincoln is obsessed with the Salad spinner. If he sees it he demands to play with it and try to spin it.  I had it out washing lettuce and had forgotten to put it away. Lincoln found it along with a bag of corn chips and decided that they needed to be spun.  Let's just say he crunched em up good.

 Looks just like his Daddy!

 More popsicles... which usually end up all over the place!

 The Boulevard had their  groundbreaking ceremony up in Cedar for the new store.  Because Adam is doing work up there for it we decided to head up and enjoy the free lunch.  Lincoln LOVED digging in he dirt with the gold shovels and he especially loved watching the big Trucks and tractors move the dirt around.

 Lincoln and Channing--- little partners in crime.

 We have def. had our share of these this month... They weren't kidding about the terrible twos.  :)  He can throw quite the tantrum but we love him regardless!

 Norah thinking she is a big girl sitting in Lincoln's carseat!
