Well Hello Again....

So, it's been a while.  I don't know where the time has gone.  It feels like just a couple weeks ago that I updated this blog but I guess it's been a few months.  Soooo much has been going on but, of course, I'm terrible at taking pictures of fun events.  Here's a little overview of the last couple of months.

April...well I can't remember much of April besides Mylie and soccer and Easter activities.  Nothing to write home about I guess.

Mylie graduated from preschool in May.  They had a little program and it was adorable.  I did take pictures but not with my nice camera so they are all really bad.  Here are some of the better ones.

Graduation day!

In June we went to Arizona.  Twice.  The first time we went was for Mike's cousins wedding.  We had so much fun!  Mike's aunt got us a really nice condo to stay in while we were there.  The kids had a ball.  Guess what....I didn't take a single picture of the condo.  Oh, I'm so horrible!  Anyway, while we were in Arizona we decided to go see Mike's grandma Nelson.  Her health had been declining over the past couple of years and we haven't been able to see her since Mylie was two.  So we drove from Mesa to Eagar to visit Grandma.  It was a really sweet reunion.  Grandma couldn't always remember people but she knew who all of us were the moment she saw us.  We were all crying.  I'm so glad we were able to see her because the very next day she slipped into a coma and a week later she passed away (which is why we ended up going to Arizona twice in a month).  We miss her so much but are so grateful we got to see her before she left us.

This is our last picture with Grandma

In July we did a lot of stuff.  We bought the Pass of All Passes so we've gone to Seven Peaks a bunch of times as well as Trafalga.  No pictures though.  We also had my family reunion.  It was lots of fun to see everyone.  My niece and nephews were there, which was a special treat because we don't get to see them often and Mylie and Addie adore them.

My girls are such hams!  Addie wouldn't let me take her pictures and Mylie is quite the poser.

So far we haven't done much in August but we hope to be able to go to the zoo and to finish painting our bunk beds.  The girls are really excited for those!  Preschool will start again at the end of the month and Mylie is really excited.  I'm glad I get one more year of preschool before I loose my baby to Kindergarten.
