Selling a home is a lot easier when three young children aren't living in it. We decided the best thing for our family was to be in UT for a summer where we have lots of family and friends, warm weather and lots of space at Grandma Joan's house. The hard part was being away from Rawley every two weeks for a week and a half. Even though it wasn't where we thought we'd be, we loved spending the summer living with Grandma, Kristi, Oakley and Abby (the dog and cat) and like everything in our lives, it all happens for a reason.
We were able to do so much and spend time with many close family and friends. Here are some photos of some of the fun things we got to do. Some highlights were the 4th of July parade in Centerville, Eav's 3rd birthday, fun water parks (no pics but my kids are alive), swim and soccer lessons, friends' houses, the Discovery Museum, Dinosaur Museum and Discovery Garden at Thanksgiving Point, Wheeler Farm, lots of arts and crafts, Aida's first steps and saying how old she was with her fingers and a trip to Big Tree State Park. So many things to do and so little time. It was a great summer and one I know our children will remember for a long time.
Cousins and lots of snow cones. Tiger's blood was the favorite.
4th of July parade
Wow--What a summer!! So first, I cannot believe how many great family photos you guys have. I have found that task to be impossible. Eav's party looked so fun and she looks so proud to be 3! Time flies! Ethan's buzz is darling. You're right--he'd be cute no matter what.
ReplyDeleteAnd Aida is so cute and happy. Her first steps photos are so cute...still waiting for B's first steps. She could take them if she wanted, but she gets too nervous. Hopefully before Halloween so she can toddle on up to a door! :>) Miss you!!!
