June and July

The summer is flying by and taking us along with it.  We've been busy hanging out with friends and family.  My favorite part of summertime!  We still have lots more to come but this is what we've been up to so far.

We went to the zoo with some friends.



  We went to a couple friends' baptism.  Jillian got to see her friend Aubrey who moved away a couple years ago. We had a good time catching up and the kids played like they hadn't been apart for 2 years.  I love that!
 We've hung out at home.  My baby is getting so big.  He's really not a baby anymore!
 We've read lots of books.  One of Chloe's favorite activities!
 We met up with my college roommate and let our kids play at a park while we caught up.  The kids found the sprinklers and got drenched but it was a hot day so they were dry in no time.
 It's amazing to me how quickly kids can become friends.  Our oldest girls got along great and both have since asked when we can get together again for a play date.  Too bad Laura and her family live in Texas!
 We still look like we did in college, right?!?
 We ran up to Boise, ID for a quick trip to meet baby Georgia, my new niece.  She is precious!  We had a fun time hanging out with family.   All my family was there (minus my brother, Glen, who we missed).  It was fun to see everyone shortly before our main event of the summer, my sister, Rosemary's wedding next week.
Sean put Ellliot to sleep while swinging.  It was pretty funny.

I took the kids to my Porter family reunion last week for a quick day trip.  I took a couple pictures with my phone but they're still on my phone.  I also stopped in to say hi to my Tanner grandparents for a few minutes on our way home.

We've also had play dates with my nephews and celebrated Independence day. 
Whew!  We've had a busy couple of months, with the busiest still to come!
