Summer so far.......

I just love the summertime, it's the best! So far this summer, we have been able to go to Las Vegas and visit the Mirage's Dolphins, and the Mandalay Bay's aquarium. It was pretty fun. Ryker thought we were at Chucky Cheese's which was pretty funny. Gary had his two weeks in Wendover with the Air National Guard, while the kids and I went to Lake Powell for a week with my family. It was wonderful even though I wish Gary could have come too. My favorite part of that trip was watching Ryker have so much fun with all of his cousins. I also loved our extreme tubing adventures and our very own survivor challenges. The food was amazing. My aunt Jill can cook like a gourmet chef. For the 4th of July my mom and got a condo in Huntsville right on the lake. It was beautiful. My sister-in-law Annie started sliding down the stairs with the kids in her sleeping bag it was awesome. Baby Violet started sitting up on her own and she is getting up on her hands and knees ready to crawl. She just needs to go forward, she's almost there. Ryker still cracks me up on a daily basis, and changes costumes 10 times a day. Yesterday he had one glove on one hand, a sock on the other, one snow boot, and one rain boot. Keep in mind it's July and he insisted on going out like that. The best news of all our prayers were answered after 3 months of being laid off Gary got a job at L-3 Communications things couldn't have turned out better he is really loving it, and I am so happy for him. This summer, so far, has brought lots of blessings and good times. Things are going good.
