Out to Get WET!!

Ben, Molly, Chloe and I met my sister Amber and her kids at the neighborhood splash park.

Ben enjoyed taking care of the babies. :)
Molly and cousin Taylor had fun in the water

Cousin Paxton...not so much. :P

Kids Bowl Free at Fat Cats

We went to Fat Cats a few times this summer because they had a fun deal where kids could bowl two free games every day, all summer.

June Happenings Part II...

On June 9th Chloe and I went to the pool for her first time.

We met a bunch of my sisters and their kids there.

Chloe and I got in for a grand total of 3 minutes after which she was completely tuckered out!!

Chloe was really favoring her right leg. Then she started crying out whenever we'd touch/hold her right shin. Given the fact that her bone structure might not quite be up to par due to her mommy's gene's, on June 13th we decided to get it checked out.

Turned out that they figured it was a sprain and thought a splint would help for a few days.

Mommy put leggings on her to disguise the splint

(so far she just has one on the non-splint-ed leg)

(Note: after consulting "witch doctor" Julie, she said it was a chiropractic issue.
Our chiro, Dr. Bill found that her right SI joint was quite tight and he's been working it out.
It was so tight that Chloe didn't like him touching it at first but since then it has been worked out and she stands on both legs just fine) :)

June 14th was the last day of school.

The school had field day that day.
Molly got her face painted.

Ben also had a class mask-play/production that Rob and I dropped by to watch.

Afterward Ben explained his mask to me:

On June 15th they were having a rubber ducky day at the South Jordan public library.

The kids got to paint their own.
There were also drain gutter and straws with which the kids could do rubber ducky races.

This is Molly painting her ducky:

June Happenings....

There's something so heartwarming about a sleeping baby!! <3

Ben did a science experiment for school at the beginning of June.

He tested which models of paper airplanes flew the furthest.

I'm not sure what his findings were...you'll have to ask him.

He conducted his experiments at
grandpa Doug's and grandma Neener's house.

We went to a Jorgensen family party even though we're not Jorgensens. :)

Maybe we're honorary members. ;)

The kids all played a game out on the back lawn that was similar to 500 but not quite...

Rob and another dad (Dan) played with them

They had a BLAST!! :)

(Sorry for the blurry pics)

Chloe got loved on by aunt April while the kids were playing out back

We set up a little "mobile" that came with Chloe's play-yard for the
first time. Chloe thinks she has 4 hands...she uses her feet just like another pair of hands. :D

Just a Little Bit More About May...

We had a Woellhaf Family Reunion at the end of May this year (minus some who wouldn't succumb to our pleas and grace us with their presence....they were missed) :(

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the campout:

silly rabbits

guzzling water

bundled up and sound asleep in daddy's arms

good ol' buds
(flying kites in case you couldn't tell)

Coco hangin' out with cousin Sophie and aunt Nannie

camping seems to agree with Chloe

Sophie and her little cooler

"Don't you LOVE my shades??!"

cute little Coco Bear

the kids sure got a kick out of these kites

There was a lake with canoes ("fast eddies" and "stable mables") or paddle boats. We had a blast out there on the water with almost everybody else!! Many tried more than one boat!

You think it's just grandma and grandpa??

think again!! :)

I think this may have been Wayne and Justin's 3rd or 4th trip out onto the lake!
(That's grandpa in the middle)

the whole family suited up and ready for the paddle boat

(sorry, didn't get a pic of us on the paddle boat...
but don't worry we sure got pooped!!)

Nannie and Ashley out with the boys

little sailor girl
(trying not to be sad that she missed
out on the paddle boat)

Rob, Molly and Ben in a stable mable
(after our paddle boat escapade...
they're obviously more "trooper-ish" than I am) :P

Coco all ready to canoe
(except her mom only took her paddle boating) :)

paddle boaters

canoe-ers

After the lake our camp hosts got us a spot on the challenge courses. I can't even remember what number it was...was it 2?? Well, nevertheless, we had such a marvelous time cheering each other on and facing our fears together!!!

I can't say ALL, but most of us in this pic were scared to some degree of spitless...
but we ALL faced our fears!!!

brave Molly

brave Sophie

brave Ben

The rest of the weekend was spent in the Salt Lake Valley doing various activities. One of which was visiting the Great Salt Lake.

my boy

buds

Another activity was to go to Temple Square. We got to see an AMAZING scale model of inside and outside the Salt Lake Temple. We also got to see the Joseph Smith Movie, as well as a small tour of the conference center.

the blurry grandkids that were there
(we're missing 5 or so)

I just love this pic of Rob with little Coco!!!
