See?  Eight isn’t that many.  And, yes, we did give our dad an entire box of Reeses peanut butter cups for Father’s Day.  Jealous, aren’t you?  (Alright, we did give him a couple of other presents, too).  Without a doubt, we are one lucky group with such a great dad.  We love Kevin B!!

This week Mariah got to run the 400m (one time around) in the regional finals for the Hershey Track Meet.  It was a cloudy day and the wind was fierce!

DSC04523Mariah and her dad had a great time anyway and Mariah finished fourth overall.  We were so proud of her!

This was also the last week of swimming lessons!

DSC04530  It was two weeks long and I think these three loved going to the pool everyday.  Cheyenne is closer to swimming, I think, but Calianne is swimming like a fish!  She is so excited!  Mariah already could swim, of course, but now she can backstroke, freestyle, and breaststroke.  Very cool!  I think I am a swim lesson convert.

This week was Shadow Mountain Camp for Megan.  That is a three day camp they have up Hobblecreek Canyon for soon-to-be sixth graders.  She was out of her head with excitement and spent three days packing for the three day trip!

DSC04528 She came back sunburned, tired, and full of talk about a 6 mile hike, a polar plunge in a very cold mountain lake, slip and slides, and a bear visitor.  She had a great time, but we sure missed her!  Welcome home, Megan Rose!

Other big news for the week is that Cheyenne lost her first tooth!  She was eating a carrot.

Boy!  The excited screams over that one!  Even though Calianne has been sure her teeth were loose for the last six months, Cheyenne was the first!

A Reese's fan, huh? I knew I liked him! He did a fab job speaking in our ward today, btw.

Love the shot of him with his kids -- a definite aww moment. You are right; you are very lucky to have him.

And I'm glad to see you survived Shadow Mountain. It's tough because they still seem so little and you don't really know who you're sending them off with like you do with girls' camp. My kids all loved it though. I'm glad she did, too.

I remember losing teeth. It was one of my favorite things as a kid. So exciting! And I definitely remember my younger siblings always preemptively thinking that their teeth were loose. "It's wiggly! Feeeeeel it!"
