May?!!! Seriously?!!! That's the last time I blogged. Good grief I must either not have enough going on in life and need to be more exciting, or I have WAY too much going on in life and need to find some time to sit down and make this all happen. Either way four months is a bit extreme. I think I got into the habit of not posting last year through all the drama. So, it is time to break that habit and allow everyone in on the exciting things in our home.

I have no idea what even happened in June. The boys were out of school and instead of just four days a week got to spend a full week at a time with us. It sure was fun having them here during the day and spending more time with us.

July we went camping with the Fish family. The whole family. It was actually a ton of fun. While I'm not really the most out doors kinda gal, it was very organized and I'm pretty sure everyone loved it. The boys went hiking with grandpa and cousins. They went shooting, we went on Uncle Blaine's motorcycle and quads for rides. We had smores, and other delicious food. Besides being with my sweetie I think just visiting with everyone was the best.

August was quite full with school starting back up, Noah's birthday, Paul's birthday, a fast yet long road trip to Utah with all five kids for Uncle Blake's graduation with his Doctorate from the Y. It was fun for new cousins to meet each other. The boys had a BLAST with all the new cousins and of course their awesome toys. Truly it doesn't feel like a day went by with something going on. August really was a complete whirlwind.

To start on September, which appears to already be half over we were blessed with Paul getting and starting a new job. He is a physical therapy tech for a PT office that is at the hospital. He often comes home with quite entertaining stories of some of his patients. Of course Paul is always entertaining, I've been very blessed to have a man in my life that loves to make me smile. With Noah's birthday in August it was a special one with him turning 8 and we had his baptism the 2nd weekend in September. It was neat to see so much family from all sides there to support him on his special day. We all met up at a park after wards and had some dessert while the kids had a blast playing. September has also brought us one step closer in new home ownership. We think we might even be on the last few steps of the purchasing process. Our goal is to close in the next couple of weeks and start working on ALL the FUN projects that need to be taken care of to make that house our home.

And apparently I can't figure out where I saved all our pics from birthday and camping activities, so the above pics were Joy while we went to Seattle the first week of September. I'll figure it out but I gotta get this post done or it will be December before people hear from me again.
