How EMBARRASSING!!!

This is my first and only post for June! Yikes! That is embarrassing. However, it has been a BUSY month! So, no photos tonight, just a quick update... so later I can tell the stories (maybe).

June 4 was the last day of school, and we had a GREAT party at the park! We probably had well over 100 kids there from 2 - 18 playing and having a GREAT time together! Hope you were there, and if not, well, next year!

June 5 Chesea graduated from Coconino High School. We had a GREAT party here at our home and were so honored that so many of you came to wish here well in her new life. She had a GREAT graduation.

June 8 I was EXHAUSTED! So I was taking it easy when Porter decided he wanted some cheese. He was cutting it himself. He cut cross-wise instead of downward and chopped his index finger on his left hand. He completely severed one tendon and almost severed the other. We rushed to the DR. who sent us to the ER where they stitched up his finger and told us to go see a hand surgeon. Well, Heavenly Father works GREAT miracles even before we pray for them. One of my greatest bread customers is a hand surgeon. I called him. He performed surgery Wednesday morning (June 10). It was a "perfect repair," he said. The day before his surgery I was still totally exhausted and not feeling so well. I ended up with a major sinus infection and cold. I was down for about a week.

June 11 we dashed down to Phoenix (thank Heaven's Quaelii had her permit!!) where Quaelii had a band convention for her position of Drum Major. We had a pretty good time. We were there until June 13.

June 16 Quaelii left for girls camp, and Jaeci left June 17. Andy left for Scout camp on June 17, and Chesea, Tallin, Porter, Paden and I left for Utah the same day. We all had a great time in our adventures. Chesea was able to get registered for her classes. YIPPEE! And I HAD A MARVELOUS time with my FRIENDS! I AM SO BLESSED WITH GREAT FRIENDS!!!

We all arrived home at some point on June 20 to celebrate Father's Day with Andy. I hope he had a great day. Dinner wasn't as good as it was in my head... Ah well. That's how it goes sometimes...

Tuesday & Wednesday, June 23 and 24 I had a GREAT time with 18 CUB SCOUTS at the DAY CAMP I was responsible for. It was amazing! We bowled, swam, had a tour of a restaurant, ate out, canoed, built a bridge, learned how to play marbles, BBQ'd hotdogs & hamburgers for our families and more... It was really a TREAT!

June 25 I took Quaelii so she could get her license!!! Yep! Two Whetten girls on the roads in Flagstaff now... Stay off the side-walk! :0) That night I was in charge of a Dutch Oven cooking class. It went very well. We had yummy Dutch Oven Pizza, BBQ Chicken Cordon Bleu, and 3 different kinds of Peach Cobbler! YUM!

June 26 we took our family and went canoeing on Lake Mary. We had a great time. Got sunburned. Were caught in a little rain-storm, waited it out and canoed some more. It was BEAUTIFUL!

June 27 Andy and I celebrated our 19 anniversary by helping our friends finish the trim for their home. We sealed and lacquered a TON of trim. It was amazing. We worked from about 7:30 am until about 4:30 or 5:00 pm. They were so thankful, they took us to Outback to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks guys!

And yesterday and today, the last two days of June, I have been trying to catch up. Not even close. Good thing I'll have tomorrow!

So there it is in a nutshell. Sorry it is long & boring, but putting it like this helps me understand why I haven't posted all month... :0) Jen
