June's Joys

What fun the Month of June is. It has always been one of my favorite (probably because that's when school got out and its my b-day), but I love this month for many other reasons too. This June has lived up to my expectations, here are some of the things I love.
1: Roses. I have 8 beautiful rose bushes and they are so beautiful this time of year.

2- Gardens. I got my first vegetable garden planted this year and I am way excited.
3- Little Lily. She turned 2 this month. She is getting so big(in her mind at least) and just dang cute. I love my little Lil.



Her b-day cake was a ball. Balls are her favorite thing in the world.


4- Family vacations. my whole family( Mom, Dad all my siblings etc) went to Yellowstone. It was a blast. We stopped by bear world in Idaho as well.



Mammoth hot springs was a bit of a hike(which Lily did by herself). But it sure was beautiful.

This is artist paintpots. I found pools of red, orange, green and blue. (Another little hike that Lily did too.)

Boiling mud


Old Faithful

Some family pics at Yellowstone.



I sure have enjoyed June.

Thanks to a wonderful family that made a fun vacation, thanks to Sweet Little Lily for turning 2 and Thanks to my Father in Heaven for beauty and nature all around.

Wow, great post! I loved all of the pictures. Way to go on all of that gardening. How did you make Lily's birthday cake? That looks complicated.

What a fun month. That cake does look hard to make, a ball! How did you do it? That is so fun you all went on a family trip to Yellowstone; I would love to do that soon.
