The Crazy that is Life right now!

So.... let us sum up our summer so far.  We drove to Arkansas and spent a few weeks with my folks, and it was loads of fun.  We then drove to OK on Monday and spent a day with my sister Miranda before moving on.  The kids and I drove on to Kansas on Wednesday for a night and Thursday night was Colorado, and then we made it to Cedar City and hung out with the in-laws for about a week.  The kids were awesome for all this, by the way!

On Thursday July 11, we drove up to Salt Lake City.  Dan flew in that afternoon and we were finally reunited as a family after 2 months apart.  And the Hallelujah chorus rang. Callie was baptized Thursday night and it was lovely.  On Friday we drove to Idaho and Saturday afternoon we were in Portland.  Crazy stuff, my friends, crazy stuff!

We went to church with Adam and his family on Sunday, and after lunch we drove up to Washington to meet everyone for my family reunion.  It has been crazy fun!

Callie's sweet photo session for her baptism.  Didn't Star do an awesome job with the pictures?!!

Yeah, she's feeling a tad self conscious, and she doesn't like her picture being taken.

The only picture of the baptism.  Oops.  

Loved having Dan around to read bedtime stories to the girls.

Rylee, wrapped like a burrito and content.

The kids love staying in hotels.  They are weird like that.

 The Snake River.  We had to stop and get pictures.

I just wanted to be sure you knew I was there!

 (It is so dry here, my hair is straight!!)

We stopped by the Twin Falls Temple for photos and to meet up with old friends.  Sadly, we did not get pictures with our friends!

 See, all the kids at the Temple.

I love it when they pose for me!

Very scenic rest stop on the way to Portland.  We followed this river a long way.

Hanging out at Uncle Adam's.  So sweet that Joshua is reading to Denali!

Rylee loved their toys.
