I really need a new camera!

Just a little update on the Wyatt gang. Don't you just love how busy summers are? Still no pictures, sorry.

On August 8th we had some family pictures taken. that is the main reason that I am doing this blog now. I have been checking the photographers blog ever now and then to see if she has posted any preview pictures. this morning there were some on there. If anyone wants to see them they are @ amandalaingphotography.blogspot.com (thanks Kristin, when I saw the cute pictures she had taken of your adorable family I showed them to my mom. She insited that Amamda take our pictures too.) She was so good with our stuborn children, and I think that they turned out really well. I am hoping that Mom either has the disc with the rest of the pictures or will have them soon. I can't wait to see the rest of them.

My summer at USU is officially over, and I am so glad. Trying to clean up after construction is never fun, but when you have to do it for 16 hrs straight it almost kills you.

The next day was the start of Jeremy's family reunion. We did projects at his grandparents houses. Jeremy and the gang did a sprinkler system at their rental property. They put up a new fence, and fixed the back porch there too. At grandma and grandpa's house they did some cleaning and cleaned up the flower beds. Melissa stared to paint the garage, I tried to help, but she will probably have to fix my mess-ups later. Sunday we went up to Downata Hot Springs for the rest of the vacation. Grandpa K has rented us cabins there for the last three years. It was fun a lot of fun and Margene and Lynn gave us a bunch of tips on emergency preparedness. Every one of our meals had something made from a food storage item. I thought that it was a really great idea. I will try to get pictures from other family members later.

Tuesday we went to see Grandpa and Grandma Lott. They seem to be doing good. They let us pick a ton of corn and grandpa taught me how to freeze it. I also got some gardening tips. It was great to see grandma acting more like herself.

We finally went to see Sarah's new apartment on Friday when she invited us to go swimming with her and the Peavler fam. So cute, I want your couches.

Now for the best news of all, KURT IS HOME!! He surprised the family on Thursday night. (Ok so we already knew that he was in the US at Fort Lewis, but he asked Jeremy to keep it a secret, but we weren't expecting him until Saturday) I got to see him for thew first time last night at Geno's birthday party. I guess that he is officially out of the reserves now so he will not have to go back to the middle east again. It is such a relief and we are so glad to have him back.

I am so ready for fall.

Bee's game

Last Thursday Jason and Melissa invited us to go to the Salt Lake Bee's game with them. I would like to say that it was all a lot of fun but we took all of the kids with us. We did get to enjoy most of the game and I was excited to go because it was my first time going to a baseball game. We had to leave during the 6th inning because the kids had seen as much baseball as they could stand. Jeremy got online later that night to see if the Bee's had won. They had and game only went to 7 innings anyway(they were having problems with the lights and there was a lot of smoke in the air from fires) It was fun and I would like to try going again when Austin is about 12. Thanks for inviting us Melissa and Jason. Thanks for feeding us Big-O. Here are some picks that Jeremy took with his phone. I hate that my camera is broken.

Sorry the pictures are so small. I didn't want to mess with them to make them bigger.

That's how you do.

Just a little update on the real "boss" at our house. No new pictures because my camera is broken. Our little guy is driving us crazy one minute and then has us laughing hysterically the next. He has started to "teach" me how to do things around the house. This usually involves stuff I already know how to do and I was the one to teach him how to do it. (Like shutting down my laptop) It cracks me up, and he always says "that's how you do" after he is done. We took him to see his first movie in a theater today. He has wanted to see "Monsters vs. Aliens" forever, but haven't dared to take him because we didn't know how he would behave. He was great, and probably laughed louder than everyone else in the entire theater. He has also started to quote lines in movies while he is watching them. It's tons of fun. He is still just as impatient as ever, but we love him.
