Change can be good...so they say...

So my sister & her family just came for a visit over the 4th of July weekend. It was really great to see them because it has been two years since their last visit! The kids have grown like crazy and we had a lot to catch up on.

Get this, the week after they return home, Mike finds out he has been laid off, and BOOM, they are planning to move back to Utah after living out of state for 5+ years.

While we are sad for them & the circumstance which brings them back, we are happy that they are coming "home" so that we can share all the family stuff with them that we have not been able to these past few years.

Below are a few photos of our summer activities this year including Lagoon and 4th of July. Nothing too exciting, but a little bit of sun and fun for the kids. Hey, I'm just proud to have put some pictures together & have them posted in a somewhat timely manner! Yay me!

My First (fill in the blank)


Six year-olds lead very exciting lives, just ask one! This year Abbie lost her first tooth (now she is up to a total of SIX teeth lost). She also learned how to ride a two-wheeler and is clearly now an expert at it. She even gives advice to those inexperienced 5 year-olds! She also earned her first trophy...very exciting stuff! I suppose we must also mention the first day of school, first fieldtrip, and most recently, her first time going down a waterslide by herself. Oh to be a six year-old again. Every day is an adventure!
