My birthday! My sweet friend Sophie organized a car parade (those are big right now in the Corona era), people decorate their cars and come by and wave hi! I got too close to some friends but oh well! Then, she organized a birthday party on zoom, virtually, where I blew out the candles. It was great!
Josh graduated finally with his Masters Degree! Hooray!! And Bennett graduated preschool. They usually have a big event but thanks to COVID, they did a virtual one and a drive by one. And Bennett was mentioned at my parent's backyard graduation. It was actually really intimate and special!
Catalina State Park hike
Boy, am I glad we visited this one when we did! Shortly after our visit, a huge fire called the Bighorn Fire came through this park and the Catalina Mountains including Mt. Lemmon and destroyed so much. Mt. Lemmon is STILL closed until like November! It was a big hike but we had fun!
Finally some water! What Nolan was anxious about the entire time, haha. 
We are spending a lot of time in our little inflatable pool since the pools have been closed here since March. They opened for ONE day then closed again. We also do a lot of sprinkler in the driveway!
We have been doing Kiwico projects too!
Nolan and his best bud Oliver at Madera Canyon falls.
Oliver had to go to Florida for 8 weeks. He gets back in a couple of weeks but that's been hard for Nolan!
We've gone to Patagonia lake twice. Once with Erin, she came to visit! One was with our friends Holly and Jarrod.
The new normal. Masks anywhere in public. :( 
Ellis got a bee stuck in his ear! He was so sad. Nolan has gotten a couple of bee stings too! 
Melody made the boys an easel! They love it!
My brother got a kitten! Nimbus. Ellis loves it a little too much!
Bennett has been doing tumbling, it's helped strengthen him!
Ellis loves to help cook.
Nolan is really into biking.
The boys pretending they're in cages.
All the neighbor boys fill our table!
Bennett getting tested for COVID for his surgery.
Bennett turned 5!!
He invited 2 friends over to make pizzas and watch Lion King. In lieu of a normal birthday party because those aren't really good right now with the pandemic.
Josh's cake totally bombed. If 2020 was a cake...Starr Pass
We took a trip to Lyman Lake! It's about 5 hours away. My dad came and brought his boat. Melody came too. We all had her own cabins. We set up a hammock, my Dad did the food, we went on the boat (it did break after we used it though...), kayaks, etc. We had a fun time! The area is nice, the cabins were nice. The lake was muddy but the kids didn't mind, haha. It was such a nice time to clear our minds! We brought the boy's bikes too and there was a nice loop for biking.
Happy 4th of July!
Ellis turned 2!
Melody made this cute cake!
She bought them another stuffed animal. Thaaaanks.
Aidan took Ellis on a birthday date. They're cute buddies.Bennett's surgery! He got a tonsillectomy in preparation for his second surgery in a month.
He did so great! He's recovering well. He is in pain in the mornings but then he's ok. He asks for a lot of ice cream and movies!
