Father's Day and Mom and Dad Cheney come to town

Mom and Dad Cheney came to town to visit us for 3 days in June which just happened to fall during Father's Day weekend. We took them to the California Science Center to see the space shuttle on Friday. On Saturday we went to see a masterpiece of a movie (Captain Underpants)......it was full of potty humor, but the kids thought it was hilarious :) Sunday we spent playing games and we went to look at some model homes just for fun...because really.......we all love looking at model homes for ideas and thinking about how it would be nice to have....that over there....and that bathroom.....and that laundry room......sigh..............

2 GREAT DADS!!!

Aiden got Ryan Pokemon cards so they can play together "It was an epic deck"-Aiden

Zoey got Ryan a fidget spinner so they could practice together.

I got Ryan some much needed t-shirts...because I'm practical like that!



Aiden taught grandpa all about Pokemon.

Then Grandpa Grover came to town so he could help us by watching the dogs when we left the next day for our family trip to Mammoth.  Zoey got a hold of the camera and had us do funny pictures.




She even posed Whitney with her Sparkling water. 
It was the first time EVER that both grandparents were together for Father's Day.  They hadn't seen each other since the wedding.  It was a great visit.......on to Mammoth......

April, May, June in the Cheney's life


 April.........................................................................


Zoey got an award for being Student of the Month. (2nd Grade..Mrs. Oh's class)




Easter fun at home.  We wanted to get a video because we realized we NEVER take videos of the kids now that they are older. 







MAY....................................................................................................................................

Mother's Day happened in May. Aiden and I went to the Mother/Son dance at school. 




JUNE....................................................................................................................................

Zoey turned 8 on June 4. She wanted to take a friend to the local trampoline park for her birthday so we spent her day there and then out to lunch afterwards at Wendy's.  She asked for a doll from us and gift cards to Target and Payless from the grandparents.  She is reaching that phase.....ugh!




School also ended in June.  Both kids got straight A's and Excellent behavior marks on their report cards. They both got a wealth of awards for their efforts.  We are so proud of their hard work!!
Zoey had decided to be "Miss Cool" at her assembly and wear her shades. Ryan got her to take them off for the picture.




Ryan took a picture of this from the cafeteria wall.  His mohawk was off the rails that day!

Teresa found our that she got a transfer to another school that she wanted.  Ryan is watching the weather reports and trail blogs to see if he will be able to hike the John Muir Trail in July.  Summer trips coming soon......
