Little things

My parents came over the night we got home from the dude ranch (which was Father's Day) and we visited for a little bit. We will have to do a makeup Father's day for him, because we were not much fun!

"Helpers" at the grocery store.

Celebrating our daddy the day after Father's Day.

Sometimes after we walk home from the pool we just hang outside for a little bit.

Millie asked me which princess was on the chip bag! Ha!

Max loves to climb up onto the chair after someone is finished eating and get any leftovers.

A little lunch picnic. It is just really hot these days!

A Saturday nap

After AJ's homecoming talk. It's so fun having him home!

Top Golf date

Ellie came to Houston for AJ's homecoming so we went on a triple date on Saturday morning. Top Golf was even better this time without kids! Thanks Gigi and Poppy for watching them! Also, I am so bad at golf.

Dude Ranch 2015

{Really it's the Juergens Family Reunion, but we all call it the dude ranch}

We had been looking forward to this year's trip since the last one in 2013! The fact that all of Tyler's siblings were there (first time in 5-ish years that no one has been on a mission) made it even better.

The drive to the Flying L was rainy, of course. Unfortunately that just set the stage for the rest of the week! But we still got to have lots of fun outside and inside. 

Thursday: We checked in and went straight to the water park for an hour until it closed. After dinner we watched Makin' Dust perform, played outside, and made s'mores.

Friday: Our horse ride got rained out, but we spent the morning playing games. The weather cleared up in the afternoon, so Tyler took Millie swimming and I stayed with Max while he napped. In the evening I put the kids down while Tyler went to watch the trick roper show and then we switched and I got to go play games with everyone for a while.

I should have been more prepared with inside activities for the kids... I'll know for next time!

Saturday: Tyler golfed in the morning, Millie went to kid camp and got to ride a pony(!!), I rode horses with a few others in the rain, we got cleaned up and took family pictures, and dinner at Ghost Town.

Sunday: One last yummy breakfast, packing, and driving home!

We drove by the San Antonio temple on our way home. The gates weren't open, but it was pretty anyway!

I think he liked the Oreo.

Millie asked me to take a picture of her too.

And that was it! It was a great week. I made a little video of the week too:

Uncle AJ comes home

We were so excited to welcome AJ home from his mission to Brazil!

Millie insisted we make a sign for Uncle AJ.

Really, it's amazing this was all I got. 

He is home!!!

Aaaand just a cute picture of Max to close this out.
