The Highlight of My Day: June 2010


Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in June:

Tue 6/1/10: Tonight was Scott's 6th Grade program. He did a fantastic job, although I wish he would sing louder and smile more. He has such a nice voice but he hates to sing.

Wed 6/2/10: I took Emma to the Primary Children's Medical Center in Riverton for her lab tests. She was very brave. The good news is her blood turned out normal, so whatever she has is probably not too serious.

June 6/3/10: We picked up our new kitten from the Animal Shelter today. She's a little loopy tonight, due to the anesthesia from her operation, but we can already tell she has a good personality. Today was also Brad's birthday. We celebrated with cake and a present-- one of our favorite boardgames, Masterpiece.

Fri 6/4/10: Today was Scott's 6th grade graduation at his school. He won a total of five awards. After the ceremony, we took Scott out to lunch at Chick-fil-A. In the afternoon Marilyn came to visit me, then we went out to dinner with Brad, Twinkle, and David at Francisco's (Chef Tom's).

Sat 6/5/10: Brad and I went to Lagoon to participate in Del Sol's annual Lagoon Day. We took Lizzy on her first merry-go-round, train ride, and ferris wheel. Brad won a $200 gift card to Best Buy. YAY!

Sun 6/6/10: We joined the Bruce-clan on their walk to Loralee's sister's house this evening. We played an LDS card game with Melanie while she made us brownies. We also enjoyed watching the lightening show outside, and saw a beautiful sunset with amazing clouds and rainbows.

Mon 6/7/10: We got the van fixed today. Now it's completely road-trip-proof for our California vacation. YAY!

Tue 6/8/10: Tonight we went to Wheeler Farm to take pictures of Lizzy for her birthday. I was very pleased with the way they turned out.

Wed 6/9/10: My beautiful baby turned a year old today! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. She had her doctor appointment this morning and got three shots. Her doctor says she's growing wonderfully. Tonight we had a small birthday party for her. She loved her birthday cake.

Thu 6/10/10: Laundry from dawn until dusk! Got done some last minute shopping, too.

Fri 6/11/10: Drove to St. George today. The kids enjoyed swimming at our hotel.

Sat 6/12/10: Arrived in Long Beach! We ran some errands tonight and had dinner with the family. I love being back home.

Sun 6/13/10: We had a birthday party tonight for Lizzy. It was nice seeing old friends.

Mon 6/14/10: The four of us went to Disneyland today. Rachel, Craig, Susie, and Krista joined us later.

Tue 6/15/10: Today was our quiet day. We went over to LBCC to feed the bunnies, then we went to Rachel & Craig's condo for dinner and swimming.

Wed 6/16/10: We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific with Scott and Emma today.

Thu 6/17/10: Huntington Beach was our destination point today. We went to the beach then visited our friend Gizella. In the evening, Brad and I went on a date for our wedding anniversary. 4 years today!

Fri 6/18/10: We left Long Beach this morning and stopped in Overton, Nevada for the night. We had a quiet evening swimming and eating at a little diner called "Sugar's Home Plate" restaurant.

Sat 6/19/10: It's great to be home again! We had Magic Wok for dinner tonight and the kids and I went to pick up our kitty.

Sun 6/20/10: Had a great Father's Day. I made Brad breakfast this morning, and the kids and I presented him with gifts. I bought him a U2 video he's been wanting for the longest time. Lizzy gave the best present of all: she took her first steps!

Mon 6/21/10: I went to the storage unit and the library with Brad tonight. I picked up some new DVDs to watch with Brad, which I'm looking forward to seeing.

Tue 6/22/10: I took Lizzy to feed the ducks this morning and walk along the Jordan River Parkway. She loved looking at the ducks and called them "dogs."

Wed 6/23/10: When Scott & Emma arrived home tonight, Lizzy saw them and was so excited she starting screaming and laughing like mad. It was adorable watching her joy at being reunited with her siblings.

Thu 6/24/10: Brad and I are watching the newest production of Jane Austen's "Emma." It's fantastic! I loved watching it with Brad tonight.

Fri 6/25/10: Finished watching "Emma." It was WONDERFUL! I'm going to need to own it on DVD.

Sat 6/26/10: The four of us left Lizzy with a babysitter and went to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D today. The movie was fabulous! Pixar truly knows how to tell a great story and succeed every time.

Sun 6/27/10: Visited with the Bruce-clan tonight. Scott and Emma enjoyed spending time with their cousins.

Mon 6/28/10: Lizzy talks so much now! She's saying dog, bye-bye, hi, Emma, ball, and she's even trying to say thank you.

Tue 6/29/10: Scott has braces on his teeth again! I took him to the orthodontist this morning, and we've officially started the third and final phase of his treatment. In the afternoon I took the kids to Leatherby's.

Wed 6/30/10: We had cousin sleepovers last night. The girls slept over at our house and enjoyed playing with Sushi, who's feeling so much better now. I'm happy that she's acting like a normal kitty.
