Summer Time

It has been forever since I last posted, not because we've been doing nothing, but because we've been so busy! Unfortunately, my camera broke and I'm still waiting for it to get fixed so I don't have many pictures to share :(, but here are a few highlights from our summer.

• We've spent LOTS of time at the new house... painting, tiling, and next week... laying carpet! We should be able to move in the 1st of August, YEA!!! (By the way, if any one knows of a good babysitter in or around Syracuse/Clearfield/Layton/Ogden PLEASE let me know, I am still looking!!)
• Matt finished his internship and was offered a job starting as soon as he completes his master's degree. We're VERY glad to have him home more!!
• Brooke is taking swimming lessons and loves every minute of it. She thinks she is so big and loves to show off to everyone who comes to watch.

• Cole is growing like a weed. He is almost 10 months and SOOO busy. He has a vocabulary of about 10 words and loves to tease and play with his sister.
• Matt and I spent 5 days in Washinton DC and left the kids with my parents. We toured all the sights, went to THREE baseball games (WAY too many for me, but Matt loved it) and we had such a nice break. Thanks mom, dad, Brody, and Blair!!
• Carrie, Phillip, and their girls came to visit so we had a week full of family activities... boating, Lagoon, a night at the General's house in Salt Lake, Rylin's baby blessing, and lots of hanging out!! It was great to see them and Brooke couldn't get enough of Cathrine and Livi. (I had a TON of cute pictures from boating and Lagoon, but thats when the camera broke so I lost all of them... grrrrrrr!)
• Brooke got her ears pierced. It was pretty cute, we brought her home some stick on earrings from our trip and when we went to put them on her she told me that she wanted to get holes in her ears and wear real earrings like Bentlee. So... I took her to the mall and showed her what they do and she still said she wanted to do it so I let her. They look pretty cute.CHEESE!
• Lots of time playing outside and at the pool.
  I love this picture, it is SO Cole. Just hangin', saying hi.
• This weekend is my family reunion at Bear Lake and then hopefully we'll be moving soon, I can't believe how fast summer has gone by!
