Santaquin in June

I'm saaaaad that time is going by so fast. It's the last week of June. How did that happen?! This month was a mix of wanting time to pass slowly while we've been with family and also get all of Justin's playoff games over with so he could get to Utah ASAP. 

It's been the best month full of everything we could have hoped for. First of all, a moment for Logan's new Aggie beanie baby from Kylie. It was a gift from his baby shower last summer & he finally got it! 

Lots and lots of s'mores

Logan's first pair of shoes! Had to squeeze them on his chubby feet and hope they still fit when we got our family pictures taken.


James and Gracie are living a few streets down from Mom and Dad this summer so we've gotten to see them almost every day. Nothing better than being all together! 



We've spent lots of time outside & have loved having a yard and the most beautiful grass to lay on. :')


Walks up Santaquin Canyon.


Logan's gotten some fun summer accessories including a life jacket, swimsuit, sunglasses, and swing!





Before summer started, we created a big shared RowFam Summer Bucket List. One of the items was riding the electric scooters around. Riding at sunset was a plus. I love our neighborhood.




More Santaquin Canyon!


One of the highlights <3, weekly temple trips. 

President Nelson from this past general conference: 

My dear brothers and sisters, here is my promise. Nothing will help you more to hold fast to the iron rod than worshipping in the temple as regularly as your circumstances permit. Nothing will protect you more as you encounter the world's mists of darkness. Nothing will bolster your testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement or help you to understand God's magnificent plan more. Nothing will soothe your spirit more during times of pain. Nothing will open the heavens more. Nothing!


We were all rooting against Justin's team in June. The sooner his team lost, the sooner he could come home. It was a push and pull of emotions. I really wanted him here yet, he worked so hard and I'm proud of him and his team for doing as well as they did. Every other day looked like this, tuning in to Germany to see how the scores would fall.


Rowley Girls Night Out! We used to do this every single year and all of the aunts and girls would gather for a sleepover. We didn't do a sleepover, but it was so nice to be together and spend the evening playing games and reconnecting. 

Grandma and Grandpa Rowley were the best gatherers and had traditions for almost every holiday. We don't get together as much anymore so this was a treat.


 Hurricane!!

We did a little family trip down to the heat of Southern Utah and it was SO FUN. The pool and pickleball 10 feet away from each other were the highlight and I don't know how many hours we spent outside. 



Not too many pictures to account for but we did lots of Fibbage, pool, pickleball, meal prep, and a trip out to Nielsen's Frozen Custard. 

The Red Cliffs Temple was dedicated a couple of months ago. 



Grateful we could go even though we missed our German and Ecuadorian!!


There they are. :')
