So my new goal is one post/ month. I know it's a lofty aspiration, but I will do my best. I'm reaching for the stars. I might not actually touch the stars, but at least I won't end up with handfuls of mud.
We have been living in an apartment for about 1 1/2 months now. These pictures are of moving day. We piled my dad's truck high. It was so nice to move to a new place within the same town. Pretty low stress.
I canned peaches and tomatoes with my mom. Abby and Keenan were real big helpers- for the pictures.
We celebrated sweet David's birthday on the 14th. Dave and I babysat 5 kids, ages 4-16, for a week while their parents were on vacation. We celebrated his b-day at their house since we were staying there. (side note- we were happy to go home after this week. And we decided that we are not ready to have 5 kids right now. We'll take them one or two at a time:)
Strawberries and cool whip on angel food cake.
I just love this boy!My aunt Debbie, uncle Kevin, and their son Ethan came for Dustin's farewell weekend.
cousin Ethan, Uncle Kevin, and Ellie (one of the girls we babysat)
Zack modeling on the couch we got for FREE! It now has a couch cover and looks presentable.
We went to the Othello Rodeo. Dustin and I wore our boots! David didn't go because 1) there was a BYU game on, and 2) someone needed to stay with the kids (prioritized by David)
Dustin and Keenan enjoying the reclining seats in the back of the van. We watched a few minutes of Nacho Libre on the way home from the rodeo. Anything to keep us quiet:)
For the past several years, I have fixed Debbie's hair every time I see her. She always has product in it, so I just use water, a comb, and my hands. I know it's silly, but we love this tradition. It's usually done within the last hour before she leaves for home.
Enjoying some family time.
Debbie and me. I love her! She is so fun!
Mom packing Dustin's suitcases :(
Our last night with Dustin! I miss him. He is doing really well in Argentina- loving the food, learning the language, and realizing how much he loves us :)
I finally made it to one of Keenan's cross country meets. I am so proud of him! It brought back some tense feels and good memories watching those kids line up on the starting line. Cross country is a very emotional sport. I teared up a bit watching those kids work so hard. What a great sport!
