Summer Fun

The last two months in pictures....

Mother's Day! Brian surprised me with a day off in a hotel (I ordered room service and it was A-MA-ZING) and then dinner with the kids and a carriage ride. Fun was had by all (except apparently Levi). I am blessed.

We finally worked up the nerve to cut Levi's baby hair off. He has now entered the Conklin boys 6 week hair cut rotation. Would you say it was time?


Jonah offically became a preschool graduate. Here he is with his buddies from church again, Andrew and Ben, who were in his class.

and his teachers.

We drove to Scottsbluff for an FCA camp and then continued on to Copper Mountain, Colorado to vacation with my side of the family. While I have basically no pictures of our time there as my arms were almost always full of an 11 month old stud, I'm hoping a kind sister-in-law will pass some along my way. Here's Levi ready for the ride.

And Jonah and Abby were also excited to hit the road. They all did great with the 22 hours of car time there and back.

We stopped and ate at Ole's Big Game Steakhouse on our way out. Abby was not a fan of the stuffed polar bear.

Chimney Rock. Moderately impressive. :)

And on our last day in Colorado, Jonah lost his second tooth as he was brushing his teeth.

Abby just continued to be cute. In a side note, however, Abby is missing one of her lower four middle teeth and actually seems to be missing two of her permanent upper teeth. I understand it's quite common.

And finally, just last night the kids were flowergirl and ring bearer and Brian and I were host couple in a wedding of some sweet friends of ours. It was a beautiful ceremony and a super fun wedding reception. We are so happy for Greg and Bethany!

The kids may have had the most fun of their life dancing at the reception. Lets just say that on more than one occasion Jonah was breakdancing in the center of a circle and Abby worked her way down the middle of a dancing line. They had a blast.

Daddy, our non-dancer, "reluctantly" kept Levi company on the side.
