June catch-up

June was Spencer's last month of school, and Preston started learning how to do a lot more. 

My favorite video of Preston, because you can see all of his fun little tricks that he does. 

Since Preston was mobile, we had to put up the gate in front of Spencer's door so then Preston couldn't get all the little toys in his mouth. During the day he would often sneak back there just to look around in the room, wishing he could play with his big brother's toys. 

Spencer and Tyler got ready for the Father/Son campout for our ward, but sadly a huge thunderstorm was rolling through that whole weekend, and the campsite was most likely to flood so they couldn't go. We were so sad, so we decided to put the tent up in the living room and the boys had a sleepover in the tent that night anyway, I think Spencer had fun doing it. 

Aw, cute Preston, with no teeth yet!

Preston started eating big people food that month, or more of it. He really liked the Oreos I gave him this day.

Spencer's end of school culmination happened, and it was all the things they learned about the second half of the year, which was the history of New York. Each of the kids in class was to become a certain person/job during the 1800s here in New York. Spencer was a cobbler! Here he is in the classroom with his mural behind him ready to tell people what he did and how he did his work. 

Cobbling away.

Finding a costume for this was interesting, but we did it, and thanks to Amazon for one day shipping for the apron. 

These were Spencer's teachers this year!!! They were AWESOME!! Jesse and Michael are so creative and fun, and Spencer loved having them as his third grade teachers. 

This was at a gym that our neighbors go to and they invited Spencer along for a free afternoon. He loved it! Climbing all over stuff is just what he likes to do (he does pretend that he is an American Ninja Warrior). 

Jumping on the trampoline.

The climbing wall!! He did pretty well at this, and got a little over halfway up.

Preston playing with the whale we have, he loves snuggling and playing with him. 

Lifting weights. Getting strong. 

Our friends/family from Zimbabwe were in town in New York for some golf stuff so we were able to see them and have lunch!!! I LOVED that we were able to see them and catch up. To the left is Reeve, whose family is from Zimbabwe and we got to know her whole family REALLY well (we love you!), next to her is Cece who is from Norway, and then Lolly from South Africa. These ladies are amazing people, golfers and examples of service to us all. 

I had to catch this picture of Preston just sitting in the mist of all of his toys, not noticing anyone. 

Then when I came closer he fell over, but still loved being surrounded by toys.

I think this picture of Preston sums up how he is a New Yorker, the King of this city. We were out running errands, and he just is relaxed as anything (even though there are lots of people, cars, and sirens all around). It's like he owns this city!? 

I'm getting closer to being all caught up!! YAY! Good thing to because we are moving in just a few weeks to our place down in Virginia!! Hopefully I can get all the posts up that I want/need to get up.
