Tatum's Dance Recital
June 8th was Tatum's dance recital, and it was amazing. Tatum has been saying all week how she could not wait for her whole family to come and watch her dance because everyone was going to be so proud of her. And proud we were!!!!
This year she danced to 'I Wanna Be Like You' from Jungle Book. She was just the cutest little thing and got up on that stage and danced her heart out. It is so awesome watching her up on stage and seeing her smile and have a great time!!

California Family Vacation!!
We love vacations!! Like seriously love vacations!! We were lucky and got to have a week long relaxing vacation enjoying the California sun this year!!
We headed off to Carlsbad with Grampa and Gramma & Uncle Michael, Aunt Becky, Ellie and Holden. Grampa and Gramma had rented a house in Carlsbad that was amazing. It was completely decked out and so perfect for all of us. It had a gourmet kitchen, huge bedrooms, an amazing game room with tv's galore and the most perfect backyard with a spa, 2 pools with a slide and even a play set for the kids. Once we walked in the doors we fell in love with the house!!
The girls could not wait to go to the beach. So we headed down to the beach on Sunday night. It was cold and windy and we did not stay long, but I think they really enjoyed it!!
We spent the week not doing a whole lot. We would wake up in the mornings and have family breakfast. Then Matt, Michael, Becky and I would head out for a bike ride. The bike rides were great but very hilly!! It was so cool to ride and see the ocean and enjoy the beautiful breeze!! The last day we were there we did a 22 mile ride. For Matt that is no big deal but that was the farthest I have ever ridden and I definitely felt accomplished after that!! Then we would come home for some pool time. While the girls rested we worked on our tans and then would have more pool time and family fun in the evenings.
Tuesday night we drove over to Mission Beach. We cannot go to San Diego and not go to Mission Beach and have some pizza and enjoy the sunset!! We had a great time and the girls loved riding some rides!!
Wednesday we spent the day at Sea World. It really was the perfect day!! Not too crowded, not too hot. We got to see all of the shows and ride all of the rides. I think the girls favorite part was the Dolphins for sure!!
We headed to Oceanside on our last night there and we had an absolute blast playing in the ocean and jumping the waves!!
It was so nice to go on a vacation and actually relax. Our vacations are usually so go go go that we come home being tired and needing another vacation. But this time we actually got to rest and just enjoy our family!! We are so thankful that we got to spend the time with our family that we don't get to see that often. Time to plan next years vacation :)

Baby Veeh Gender Reveal
We are so incredibly excited that another baby is going to be coming into our family, we could not be happier for Adam and Lindsey to become parents, they truly are going to be amazing!!
Adam and Lindsey decided to find out the sex of the baby and wanted to let our whole family know together and of course we always love a party!! So Emma and I got to work on putting together a special gender reveal party for them.
The house was covered in pink and blue and everyone was instructed to wear the color (pink or blue) that they thought baby Veeh would be. Most everyone showed up in blue, there was hardly any pink!! Think we all thought it must be a boy since there are already so many girls in our family!!
We had the whole family over and went outside where we had a box filled with balloons that would reveal if baby Veeh was a boy or a girl.
The box opened and out came pink balloons!!!! We are so excited for Adam and Lindsey and cannot wait to meet that sweet baby girl!!!!

Camping
Last weekend we loaded up the car and headed up North to enjoy a weekend in the woods with some of our best friends!!
The 4 of us left Friday morning and were on a mission to find a perfect camping spot. We usually go up to Woods Canyon to camp but when we got there we quickly realized there would be no camping there because it was covered in snow!! Tatum and Camdyn had never been to the snow before so we took a little bit of time to let them experience a bit of snow in their shorts and sandels!!
Then we were back into the truck to find a spot to camp. We drove down and checked out a campground but they wanted too much money so we kept searching. We turned off the road and then really turned off the road and after getting almost stuck in the mud having to use 4 wheel drive to get out of there we decided we better head back down a little bit. We ended up camping at the Christopher Creek campground and it worked perfectly. We got 2 sites and got the tents set up right away and went off to the Creek to check it out.

Saturday morning the Ekrens got there and our camping crew was complete. We spent the day enjoying the weather, playing horseshoes, golfing, chopping wood and going on a nature hike. It really was a great day and the girls had so much fun exploring and getting SUPER dirty!!
