June 2025

  

  • "June is the pearl of summer, shining with warmth and joy." -- L.M. Montgomery
  • (I am on a ROLE!  July 6 and I am writing the blog!)
    June has been a month of anticipation.  LOTS of big things on the horizon, and we spent June working towards those goals.  The BIG ONE - Jake moving to college, is a mere 39 days away as I type this.  We went dorm room shopping this month.  That was so different for Jake than it was for Emma or Lara!  He spent like $60 total.  And swears he doesn't need anything else.  There is a walmart in the next town over...  I am taking wagers on how log he is in Hillsboro before the first trek to Newton...
    June was the easiest month of this year so far.  Still taxing, and still things coming along that may become mountains, but as I close this chapter of the year, I can look back and say we embraced this month and made great memories.  Typical Weaver chaos ensued, but ther pace was slightly slower and the goals met were so worth it! Here are some highlights!
    Started off with a BANG!  Jake and his girlfriend Avery were out on the lake tubing with friends.  He took a hard fall (the snap for Avery!), and landed in the ER.  Bruised rib.  (It is July 6 and it still bothers him.)
 
 


    LOTS of basketball games watched - and tornado watches and warnings, the whole month was exhausting for us Okies!


Avery left for Utah....



Finn at Aerospace Camp


Jake's hair had a ... MOMENT





Happy Father's Day!  We love you!

    Remember the weather I mentioned?  Well...  it was rough! Emma and Parker got baseball sized hail - ruined their roof, siding, adn all the windows on both of Parker;s trucks.  Lara was under a warning, and so were we!  All at different times on the same day!
 




    Mom, Dad and Finn had a little Juneteenth adventure to midtown and downtown OKC!











And we did, indeed, THUNDER THE F*CK UP!




There was a parade!  Lara took Finn, but Britt and I couldn't go...


... because we were in VEGAS, BABY!  Britt tagged along for my work conference, and we had a BLAST!  (Finn spent the first few days with Lara in Stillwater while Jake stayed in South Logan County.) He was kid free, dog free, and worry free during the days while I was working, and the rest of the time, we SOAKED IT ALL IN!  (Photo dump!)

    

 

Conference Day 1 and the Night of Fun!:









Britt got to come to the dinner, party and ride the High Roller with the group on the first night.






Conference Day 2

                                                                Good Morning Las Vegas!


 

"Lunching" with the CEO!  ;)

Pool time and dinner!

FINAL DAY!




Exhausted, refueled, and ready for the LAST NIGHT IN VEGAS!

(In the meantime, the boys were now in Kansas with Emma and Parker)
 



Meanwhile... in Vegas....




Later that same night...







And now, we say goodnight for the last time from the Flamingo (12:09am)

Because we were in the lobby waiting for our taxi at 4:16am!


 
Almost back to Stillwater!


HOME SWEET HOME!
South Logan County


And sometimes. things that happen in Vegas, don't stay in Vegas....
