Just a few things

It's been a busy past few weeks. This will be a huge post if I give all the details so I'll just summarize.

We finally got my parents (and grandparents) moved into their new home. It was a long, slow, and tiring process but it's finally done. We've ALL been enjoying it out there; bbq's, baseball, sprinklers, lawn mowing, especially the lawn mowing! It's the first time my parents have ever had any land (and a brand new home) so it's been lots of fun.



Aiden and Olivia tired from moving.



Playing in the water. BBQing old school style. We don't need no stinkin propane!




Birthday dinner for Gramma.




Fun on the mower.







Even 90 year old Great-gramma took a turn!



On July 2nd, we came home from swimming at a friends house to find my sister and her family parked in our driveway. What a fabulous surprise!!! They had driven all the way from North Carolina, with a few stops in between. We had so much fun play the wii, PS3, 4th of July, Kids club, trampoline, more sprinklers. Thanks guys for coming to see us!!

Uncle Bryce and Papa goofing off.


Pooped!



Gosh, that doesn't seem like much but when it's sandwiched in between our everyday activities, it was actually really busy. The only two things set in stone for the rest of the summer is that 1) I'm on call for a client who is due to have her baby any day now and 2) we'll be going camping next month. Oh, and I can't forget our trip to Texas in October, yay!

Ya - don't forget your trip in August . I am so excited for you to come.
So did Grandma & pa move in with your mom and dad? I like the lawn mower ride. Your parents house looks really nice. How far away are they? Later

What a nice place your parents have. I love visiting my parents b/c they have so much space for Arden to run around on and ride the tractor on too! Yay for grandparents!

Who doesn't like a ride mower? We hope to have land and a ride mower sooner than later!

So your parents left Cali? I was just thinking of you and them today because we're looking at a house around the corner from Thomas. It's on Lois. What do they think about that area? Worse, same, okay, better?

That looks just like our riding lawnmower. Jake has to sit on my lap because of the weight sensor in the seat. Glad your parents are settled. Their house looks so FANCY. Our grass is finally coming in. This summer has been very hard for growing lawns. Hugs for a tired Ward Bunch. Nat
