Wow, my last post was on the last day of school, and now school starts next week! I think this has been one of my all time favorite summers ever! I've just enjoyed every single day! We have been able to spend tons of time together, and have had lots and lots of visitors from around the country, and world for that matter. The only down fall is that there hasn't been a lot of downtime. Seems like just when we get over with an event, it's on to the next one! But it's been good. The move obviously has been the most exciting part. We love our house, and have landed in such a wonderful neighborhood. It's so cute, tons of kids, and a great ward! Who could ask for more? We're not too excited for school to start again, but that all stems from our innability to wake up early...once we're up we're good though. I think Madison has grown another 2 inches this summer, putting her to the middle of my nose, Yikes! Ethans feet grew 2 sizes, but other than that, I never see him changing. He always just looks like my little boy. His face and hairstyle never really change, and I think that adds to it. I know he's getting taller, cause his pants are too short, it's just that I don't see it! Maybe I'm in denial?
At the Provo Parade with James and Gloria, or as I like to call them Madison and Ethan, Take 2.
Having fun in the water at Yazmins on the 4th of July.
Madison and Kylee like to show how NOT embarresed they are to be themselves, they put there hair up, and put on Pajama bottoms for scarves and take long slow walks around the neighborhood. They swear this year they're going to wear them to school, and start a new trend that will eventually lead to Disney Channel stars wearing the same things. They managed to convince one of their friends to do it yesterday, so who knows. Crazy girls!....
We had a great visit from Todd and Jenny, who hail from WA. And Kevin and Becky who are living in Indiana. And Uncle Dennis and Aunt Diane from.....Spanish Fork! I'm so mad we didn't take some group shots, but it was a busy day!
At the BYU museum with our cousin Gabby who visited from Mexico! This was the I SPY exibit, it was so awesome! Raul's Dad and Sister, Claudia also came to visit us from Mexico, they stayed for 2 weeks, but let Gabby stay for an extra couple weeks.
Ronda and Greg visited from the great state of Alabama, (bow your head in respect) We had a blast all catching up, with them and Todd and Haylee! We love these guys!
The crew!! I couldn't believe how big Felicity was! But Hank and Bobby looked about the same! Hank is still super serious, and Bobby is so easy goin'
Wow, this is just not a great picture of me, but hey, they can't all be good ones... My girls Julie and Jen looking great as always! Love you guys!!
Yay! Julie came from Kentucky! The kids have all got bigger, but it felt like no time had passed at all!
This one's for Nick and Ty, I told you I'd put it on my blog!!!
Ethan and Sadie, doin' what they do...
Charlie has also found a new friend at our new house, we just haven't told him it's his reflection...
Madison and her BFF Kylee, these guys are so fun to watch together! They couldn't be more opposite in their likes and dislikes, but they have a great time together! You'll often hear one of them say "I love this song!," and the other will say "eww, I can't stand this song!" And then they giggle. It goes that way for Movies, and Food too! But they learn new things from each other, and they just get along so great! I'm so glad she has a good friend!
Corbin and Ethan, showing their awesome bulging muscles at the pool!
Madison, Ashley, and Joy!! Some cute, Happy cousins!!

Summer went by fast, but wow did we have a great time! Next year, I'm going to take a picture everyday. We went to so many fun places that I just never took any pictures! Well, better go school shopping...!
