Well here is summer! I have to say I have been waiting a long time for summer to come because it meant that we were all going to be together for the first time in a couple of years!! It was great but not long enough! We flew Nick out early and sent Cassie out with my dear friend Laura Arballo to Utah to spend time with Andrea and her kids and Travis and Oriana. We knew that they would take as much time as we would give them to spend in Utah with family and friends. I have to say the house was very quiet without them and not sure I am ready for that just yet!
It was fun to get us all together! We had as much fun as we could! We didn't get to do all that was on our lists but we went to church at our old ward of 18 years and had Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma over for dinner! We watched pictures and some short movies of things that have happened over the past little while, we got our "Family Picture!!!", had girls breakfast time at Village Inn, some hiked the Y, others went to see Spiderman, watched movies, road 4 wheelers, ate great food, had smores, road horses, swam in the pool, went to BYU bookstore and got all kinds of BYU attire and decals, went to the Cabin for the 4th ( grandma and I went to Denver for Shelly's and Mark's Wedding which was really nice)( we got to see Penny and Cindy as well as Eric and his kids!!!) there was a lot of fun to be had and not enough time but we are glad for the time we got to spend together. We love our family and look forward to the next time when we can all go again. Maybe in the mid west next time!
We also made the decision to sell our house! It was a hard one and we have worked on the house actually to the point that I kinda like it now( I haven't really been a fan of it). If we ever move back to Utah it will be in the country and not in the Orem/ Provo area! Its just too crowded and busy for us anymore! Oriana and Travis live in Payson and it was just about our speed. Hollister is smaller than Payson and we love it here but Payson was really great.
Our garden is doing really great! I have had tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, zucchinis and corn on its way!! I have to say I really love that. Ben fixed a drip system for all the plants and I don't even have to water them! Just weed and there are fewer weeds cause the water only waters the plants!! I am hoping the gopher will save me some of my plants so I can bottle some of the tomatoes!
