Summertime

School is out – hooray! I’ve been waiting for summer for a very long time. Right after school got out Brian headed to Clear Creek to be a counselor at the district’s 5th grade summer camp. Since it’s no fun to be at home for that long, Gavin and I took off for Arizona to see the fam. My three-year-old nephew took this picture for us. BTW, I chopped 8 inches of hair to donate to Beautiful Lengths...my grandma said I could do something else for cancer patients...

We went swimming, visited aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents and great-grandparents, strolled around the mall, and ate at yummy Arizona restaurants. My sister Lynsey dropped everything and hung out with us every day. We had a fun time – even with three carseats in the backseat.



This boy is not meant to be an only child. In fact, I think he’d be a really great younger brother, but it’s too late for that. ☺ He loved being around his cousins and was totally entertained by them. I actually got to sit down and visit.


Gavin started walking while we were there – something he hasn’t done tons of since we got back. When we left Utah, he had only taken one step. By the end of the trip he was up to 12. I emailed Brian his daily progress so he wouldn’t feel left out.


It’s always nice to see everyone and think Gavin and I will do it every summer so he can know his Arizona family.

Of course I dropped everything! I only get to see you once or twice a year.

I'll be up in August for Scentsy convention. Woot woot!

That picture of Gavin with the green ice cream cone is my favorite. It made me chuckle out loud! He looks like he's turning into a little toddler. And were you trying to hint at something when you said that he was not meant to be an only child? J.K. You look beautiful. Can't wait to see you. Maybe Gavin can teach Whitney how to walk.

No hinting at all. He just needs people other than me.
