You know you haven't blogged in a while, when your traveling husband asks you to post all the pictures you've been sending him of the kids so they can be in our blog "memory books."
So, lets rewind to the beginning of June, which was a complete whirlwind! I wanted to have the whole house packed up so when Travis came home from Texas, he could enjoy the weekend a little bit and not spend the whole time moving. We were both still pretty wiped out after all was said and done, but hey I guess, we are pretty much professional packers/movers at this point. I am so glad to have the move over, well half over, but at least unpacking seems easier. The new renters are in our Provo house and we finally found a house in Texas that we are excited about.

I just can't give up my Utah summers, so I am staying here with the kids at Grammy and Papa Fitches and then we will move down just in time to get settled and get the kids ready to start school in August.
This month has been fantastic, but at the same time hard.....fantastic to be able to relax, hang out by the pool, and relax, whoops did I already say that.....but it has been super hard to have Trav gone all month. This is the longest we have been apart our whole married life, and it has not been easy. Luckily, my in-laws have been amazing to help me out when I have about had it with the kids. We are so excited to to have Daddy home tomorrow for the long weekend!

Here is a little bit of what we have been up to:

We still can't get enough icees!
swimming, swimming and more swimming

The kids spent one long, hot afternoon workin' their lemonade stand. Then headed straight to Target to spend their hard earned cash and allowance on toys they've been eyeing.

What would a summer be without a visit to the Bean Museum.

Then off to the BYU creamery.

Bowling, which the kids LOVE!

Other than that we have been to a couple movies, Cars 2 and Mr. Popper's Penguins, trips to the park and playing with cousins and friends. We are loving spending time with family and excited for our my family to come from Arizona too! Summer you need to slow down, you are flying by way too fast!!!
