Summer Time Fun

We had a busy month of June. On the 9th Kylie and I went to girls camp. It was my 4th one as the Stake Young Women's President. It has been fun to be there with Kylie all these years.
Then the next week Stacie and the girls came home and I met them, Kim, Kylie and Starla in Salt Lake. We had a fun sisters retreat for a few days. We had all the kids, one day Stacie's sister in law watched ALL the kids, except Sofie, so we could go and have pedicures and do some shopping. Thanks tons Brooke!
After our fun time together we headed to Lava hot springs for our Cheney Family Reunion. It was fun to see everyone. Even my sister Sue, she lives in Rexburg but it's hard to get together. We all had fun visiting. The only problem was is it wasn't long enough. Thanks Sue it turned out great!
Then it was back to Rexburg and all we did was play - Rigby Lake, the zoo, the museum, water games in the yard, lots of eating. Then it was the 4th of July. What a fun time. Stacie, Whit, Kim, Sean and Kylie all ran in the Fun Run that morning. They all made it and had pretty good times. Way to go Kids! Starla's Mom and Dad came to watch the parade with us and then came over later for more food. The boys did the great fireworks show. Who needs to watch Melaleuca fireworks when you have "THE BOYS" show. It was awesome. What a fun time everyone. It is way to quiet around now. I love you all!

Robin's

This spring I hung my springtime basket out my front door. With in days two Robins started to build a nest. It has been a fun process to watch. For the first week or so the Mom would get really mad every time we would go out the door, she would attack anyone coming to the door. After awhile she settled down and remained pretty calm as we would come and go. We started to call her Mary. I would say hello every mourning. About two weeks ago all four babies flew away and we haven't seen them since. I thought it was a pretty cool thing.

Empty nest!
