haven't you missed me?

whew. does anyone even read this anymore? it seems like i've been out of the blog world for so long. no pictures because tyler had our laptop down in st. george with him for those 8 LONG weeks. and not many posts because taking care of three kids alone didn't give me much down time. but our daddy is back and we're loving having him around. the 8 weeks was long and the first week was for sure, the hardest. although we had more illness than normal and more pooping pants (we're still battling it), it could not have gone better. thanks to my family and tyler's family for all of their help... especially our parents.

now, onto what we've been up to for the past two months. get ready for way too many pictures. maybe i'll do a few posts so i don't overload you people.

remember when i told you my best friend was coming to visit? well, she did and we had so much fun. it made me so sad to take her back to the airport. i love you al! of course, we had to get a "good old days picture." alicia, me, steve, and heather go back 11 years ago... high school days at lahser in michigan. it was so fun to get together again.


these two punks (who also happen to be some more of my favorite people- definitely at the top of my list) moved away... to pocatello... loved having sunday dinners at mom and dads with you guys!

went to mesa and got to spend time with some of our favorite people.

had a run-in with the homemade waterslide again in my parents backyard.

lots of baths from lots of playing outside
fun at chloe's birthday party back in may (sad, i'm posting about it now!)

before tyler even left, we went up the canyon for a picnic
okay, i think i'll post about our trip to bear lake with tyler's family later... i have a gazillion pictures just from that! we just got back a few days ago. it was so fun. i can't wait until next year (hopefully we can make it).

look forward to some exciting posts, including: our trip to bear lake, a trip to idaho, a trip to mesa for the long awaited GRADUATION, a little vacay with just my husband and i, board exam completion and hopefully, a passing grade, a move/job. woo hoo! we're so close!
