June Update!

I feel like I'm taking one step forward and one step back on updating this poor blog! Every time I post a month.....another month goes by!! But hopefully I'll catch up soon!
So June.....what a fun full month!! I made a back and forth trip to the valley to take Lizzy to her med check follow up as we increased her ADHD med at the previous appointment. About half way through June we decided to get a 3 month family pass to the rec center as we found out the tightwad, more worried about money than customer service KOA manager didn't want monthly's using the pool. But it worked out to be way better for us in the end! On the 20th we all went into the valley as we were starting the process of getting Lizzy evaluated for ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder). Our appointment in Salt Lake turned into a phone conversation in the parking lot of the McDonald's in Bountiful where Tony's mom watched the kids while we talked to the psychologist on the phone. Then we headed home again! The next week we started our busy but fun summer schedule which would take way too long to explain so I've provided a picture below! And the rest is best told with pictures!

 Playing at the KOA pool! (before the note came that said monthly's were no longer allowed)













Me just lounging around with my Shadow puppy.


My silly dancing kiddos! They have so much fun!!


Our super awesome and fun-filled summer schedule!

Swimming at the rec center!
Watch out for falling water!!
 Round and round and round they go in the lazy river.





 Devin especially loves the lazy river.

 Lizzy loves the slides!!


 Silly Devin!

 Watching sissy, trying to build up the courage to try it.

Videos of Lizzy coming down the blue and yellow slides, as well as Lizzy jumping off the low and high dive!!









Storytime at the library!

 Coloring their own tigers!
 Devin loves sitting in the "d" and looking at books. Because "d" is for Devin!
 Lizzy usually ends up in the "a" or in a comfy chair.
 Lizzy was so excited to show me this!!
 Children's activity on a Thursday.




First summer movie!!

 This is a super fun game the kids love to play while at the rec center.

 Yoga class on Friday.
 Lizzy is exceptionally flexible! I swear most of her joints are double jointed!
 Yup, she can just fold herself in half....like it's nothin' at all!

 I mean look at her elbow!!! And she was the only kid who could keep her knees straight and put her heels to the floor!
 Eat my foot......no problem!!! Most of the kids just looked at the teacher like, "you're kidding....right?!!"
