It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks!! Lots to report!
We went down to Utah for a family reunion the end of June and had so much fun! It was a great way to kick of the summer! Greg and I got to go to the Salt Lake temple on Wednesday the 24th and that was amazing! We got to drive down to Provo on Thursday to see a friend I hadn't seen in...well since junior year in high school and that was so much fun! I was lucky enough to take some pics on one of the cousins camera, a Nikon D90, It was so much fun and I am now hooked! It is now #2 on my wish list! I got some awesome shots during the water games! After an incredible reunion and 1 good sunburn later we started home Saturday. We got to my moms and Greg took the train on home Sunday morning from there and I stayed at my moms till Thrusday. That was a much needed vacation! We played outside in the water all day, every day. Made strawberry jam, Raspberry and O'lala Berry Jelly, Grilled everything under the sun and Kelly's bday was on the 1st so Mom and I threw her a surprise party! I asked her to babysit the boys while mom and I went to the temple, and instead of going to the temple we went shopping and got the house decorated for her birthday! She was shocked and it was awesome!! After a week of 95 degree weather it was hard to come home but it was time. Thursday morning I stepped on a bee and Thursday night I came home. Friday we went to Greg's parents and played outside in their pool, wished Makayla a Happy 5th Birthday and then went to our annual July 3rd Rainiers baseball game. On the 4th I woke up singing Happy birthday to my Grampa Aldrich in between running to the bathroom (needless to say after making Greg run to the store for an EPT and ruling out pregnancy as the reason for the bathroom runs every 20 mins for 3 hrs I came to the conclusion that the hot dog the night before did not agree with me and decided it required an encore.) ANYWAYS!!! My grandpa always said "you never know when you're gonna die so you should always have your dessert first!" so today, because I couldn't do it yesterday, I'm paying tribute to my dear Grandpa and having my dessert first!! The rest of our 4th was fun. I took it easy mostly keeping my foot up (as it is still swollen and hurting, Yes dad I'm calling the Dr. tomorrow) and staying out of the sun and chain drinking water. Greg got some fireworks and the kids loved them! Greg helped Isaac with a sparkler (his first) and then put on a pretty good show! We got home around 11 and the boys went right to bed! Today (Sunday the 5th) I am staying home with Isaac because he has a pretty bad cold and a sunburn that needs nursing. this week will be an slow one. We have a house meeting on Tuesday night where we will find out our official start date for building and learn about insurance...j.o.y...but other then that, nadda, well, except for that Dr. appointment about that darn bee sting that has taken over!! I plan on staying inside, re-hydrating and getting the house back in order after our 2-3 week vacation!!! Great kick off to the summer!!
