Dragonflies and Badgers: June

June started with my oldest niece graduating from high school. She is a beautiful and talented young woman who is now off to BYU. Ryan's parents had a quick visit out here for the occasion and we enjoyed seeing them too. The weather warmed up for us and the kids finished school. Renton is officially a 2nd grader and Eli a kindergartner. Then they immediate jumped into swim lessons. I celebrated mid summer with a fairy party that the boys decidedly took no part in, so they took off with dad for a camping trip. Jory stayed with me and had to put up with the fairy dust! My sister Windy came out to visit us and help with/attend my party. We had a great time with her! The biggest news of June, however, is the new hairdo that Ryan is sporting. Nobody at church recognized him, the young men can't call him Moses anymore, and the best part was the bishopric teasing me about having met my new boyfriend! It caused quite a stir in our community, but the important thing is that Ryan likes it (and I didn't cry this time).
