summer lovin

The month of June has been filled with lots of backyard fun, cute pets, fresh soil and lots of rain. In fact, believe it or not, it even snowed at the beginning of the month--that's Spring time in Utah for ya! Gene has been busy getting the play things ready for the kids and being my 'pack mule' for outdoor projects, I've been busy gardening. And my kiddos? Lots of lovin on our animals, bike rides and popsicles. Gotta love summer!

Our beautiful lab, Simba.

Simba waiting anxiously for Emma to throw the ball already!

Morgan and Emma playing with Simba. Look how he's crouched ready to jump any second. Emma wears the glove because she hates the dog slobber.

Emma with our newest pet, little bunny Foo Foo (which she earned as a reward for getting the enunciation of her 'R's down).

Stinkin cute little bunny (Dutch dwarf).

Foo Foo is only 6 weeks old here and thankfully can't hop out of the laundry basket when inside the house.

My summer hobby. Gene built all new--larger--grow boxes for the garden, we just need to finish laying the paver stones. (In the distance is the outdoor bunny cage.)
