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.
YAY YAY YAY!!! I love them!! The one of me and Jared is cute...I like the one of us girls too. Oh, wait I like them all. That one of your fam is cute. I can't wait to see the rest!!! YAY!!!!!
