Our GREAT time in Utah

Well, the kids and I have been in Utah for two weeks and we are on our way back to Arizona today. I have to squeeze in one more blog session before I am without a computer again. It has been a GREAT trip. With life so crazy right now, it has been nice to spend time here with so many friends and family. We have crammed so much into the last two weeks, there was never really any down time. I wanted to put together some pictures to share some of the fun. We had a wonderful 4th of July. The kids had a blast having sleepovers and video game time with cousins and friends. They played on the water slide, in irrigation water with our friends, swimming, and yesterday we played at Lagoon. I got to spend time with some of my Los Alamos friends, and our great friends that we left here when we moved. We even hooked up with the Jensen's from Fresno, they were visiting too. Thanks so much to all our friends and family for the support and the great time.

A quick update

I decided to do a little blogging to let everyone know what has been going on with us. We made the trip to Arizona, where it is very HOT!! I know it is hot everywhere right now, but imagine being 7 months pregnant and having a bad case of the kankles in 112 degree Phoenix weather. We stayed there for 2 weeks between "the trailer" and my sister's house. The kids do love the daily swimming that comes with living in Arizona. Then we came up to Utah for a couple of weeks to visit J.D.'s family. We will head back to Arizona on the 14th, and then I will have to stick it out until the baby comes. No "bites" on the Fresno house. We continue to fast and pray that something is going to happen before school starts and a baby comes. We are doing good and would love to hear from everyone. We miss everyone so much. So don't hesitate to email, call, write, or whatever. Check out the following posts to see what has been going on.

We love the 4th!!

We had a great 4th of July. It is one of my favorite holidays because it is always packed with fun - friends and family, BBQs, rodeos, fairs, parades, and fireworks. We spent it this year with J.D.'s family - grandma and grandpa and his brother Jeff's family. J.D. and Kandiss ran in a 5K. We cheered them on. When in Utah for the 4th we like to go to a rodeo. This year Tyce did mutton bustin - which is bareback sheep riding. It was so much fun to watch him and hear him talk about it. Check out his cool hat and boots! He placed 8th out of 36 kids ages 5-8. He had so much fun! (So did J.D.) We squeezed in a parade and some water slide time too. And you can't forget the sparklers!!

Tyce's 7th Birthday

We were in Arizona for Tyce's birthday. He had a good day, but it was a little weird not being settled and surrounded by our Fresno friends. We did have a fun BBQ with a couple of friends from J.D.'s job. He got to swim, blow out candles and open presents with a crowd, so I think all in all it was a good day. Here are a few pictures.
