June stuff

Is it July already?

June went by way too fast! Probably because we've been having so much fun... with trips to Cali, swimming, going to the cabin...

It makes me sad that it's going so fast because now we're down to 5 weeks left until we move!

Weird.

We already know where we'll be living and have paid our first months rent. We've gone back and forth with the idea of either selling basically everything we own (so Brian can just drive our car up with some of our things) or renting a trailer and bringing all of our stuff with us. I'm not gonna lie, that would be really hard for me to do. Not that we have a lot of stuff or anything- but still. I guess I wouldn't have been a very good pioneer... how did they do it?! haha. But I think we've come down to the conclusion of renting a trailer and hauling all of our stuff there.

Koston and I will be flying up there a couple of days after Brian leaves since it will take that long to drive there. Phew! I feel bad for Brian - I just know it would be so hard with Koston. Brians a trooper though and likes to drive for some reason. Me? I hate it. I'm no good on road trips. I fall asleep at the wheel ten minutes into it!

* Anyway here's some pictures of the fun things we've done in June - and of course some are stolen from Shellene. Thanks Shellene! haha. I'm horrible with a camera. I should never be the designated picture taker!

(Pictures in no particular order)

Getting our Nertz on in Cali.

Some chose to go to Disneyland :)

* A day at the beach! A first for Koston. He had lots of fun until he was overtaken by a wave. Brian was sitting down with him with his back facing the water so he didn't see the huge wave that was about to swallow them up - and me... well, I don't know what I was doing. I sure wasn't paying attention to the water I guess. My bad. Haha. Koston was okay after he had a bottle and a nap. I felt so bad though because he had sand in every crack and crevice in his body.... and he has a lot of those!

Love this picture that Shellene snapped of the back of their legs. I blew this picture up and had it printed out on canvas for Brian and gave it to him as a late fathers day gift- He loved it!


Taking a nap in the wagon after he got washed up by the wave.

Brian put a Baby Einstein video on my iPhone and Koston loves to watch it. He layed on our bed in Cali and watched it forever. However, you don't want to be there when I take it away from him- he so not loves it after that.

He gets tired so he rotates :)

Kostons first hair cut- Thanks Michelle!

* This was the first time we took him swimming. Brian, Koston and I went swimming with Drew, Tiffany and Nixon at Brimhall pool. He was pretty indifferent to the water. He didn't love it- but he didn't not like it so that was good!

Koston doing his best pirate impression...

"Mine's the fat one, yeah"




* Last week we went to our Cabin in Groom Creek which is by Prescott. The weather was so nice! It was hard to come home. It was a very relaxing trip. We played games, went on walks, watched movies, read and played sudoku :)

I was not going to miss this! (ok- maybe our car is a little dramatic and over exaggerating on the temperature. But not by too much!)



Check out that couch! The cabin has a collection of some sweet old hand me downs haha

Love this face.

The bathroom downstairs didn't have a tub so I bathed him in the sink. He didn't mind at all :)

That's it!

Hopefully July slows down a bit!

Thanks for all the pictures! Brian spent many weekends in Groom Creek so he should have been right at home. What to take, what to leave behind. You only have a few weeks left to decide, but you know that you will always have our love and concern going with you. Sad days ahead for Grandmas and Grandpas not seeing you guys every day or every few days!! It was fun seeing Koston crawling, gotta watch out now.
