It's been a while since I blogged. I've been so busy and this week I'm getting ready for school to start so I'm guessing I'll get more busy not less so now's the time to catch up a little.
2 weekends ago I went to my brother's reception in Phoenix. It was so much fun. Dan took over things at home and I packed Donald off to a weekend of wild fun with the Weir family. It was so great to be with my family even if it was for a short weekend. The highlights were staying in a fun vacation home that could be preserved as a historical representation of all things seventies. It was great. I loved walking from room to room and finding the faces I love in each one. The reception was lots of fun, the best part being Shannon and Donald's smiling faces. I wish I had pictures to post but even with one baby to hold my hands were busy. Plus, Shari was taking so many pictures I'm still waiting with bated breath to see the results.
After a fun weekend in Arizona I came home and immediately started getting ready for our next trip to Boise. We left Wednesday night to visit Dan's family for the weekend and we had so much fun. We asked all the kids what their favorite part of the weekend was. Charlie said riding around on Aunt RaeAnn and Uncle Paul's boat was his favorite part. Adrian said playing Wii with Uncle Craig and Aunt Rebekah was his favorite as well as riding around fast in the boat. Shari and Rebecca both agreed that their favorite parts were swimming at Grandpa's pool, shopping with Aunt RaeAnn, and being pulled behind the boat on a big yellow floatie chair. Dan and I enjoyed boating and playing Rock Band with everyone until the late hours of the night. At least it was super late for our 5 kids. I especially loved seeing Dad and Kimberly getting all settled in their new life in Boise. Rebecca found a house that she loves and dreams of moving into so we can be near Grandpa, Kimberly, RaeAnn and Paul all the time.
Now that we're home we've been doing laundry and today we weeded a ton in the garden. This is the way we help them want to go back to school! I think they'll be cheering when they walk through the school doors on Thursday. We'll see if I am.

I wondered where you went! That sounds like a couple of weekends of family bliss to me and those moments are priceless. :) Good luck getting ready for school. We go back Mon. I'm always thrilled when school gets out for the summer and equally excited when it starts. We've had way too much fun swimming this summer and I think our brains will drown if we don't get back in school! Give everyone a hug from all of us.
those favorite things were my favorite things too. THANKS so much for coming!
