Ok as you have already known about me consistency is not my strong point! I really really try but outside of remembering the schedule of our families hectic week and other really important things my blog gets very left behind. So unfortunately although there were some great moments at the beginning of the year that I’d love to share I need to skip to the now which is ending very soon. The saying “time flies when your having fun” greatly applies to our summer!! Immediately after Carissa had her last day of school we were heading off to our first adventure, AZ, to see Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Chris, and all our favorite doggies! It was some much needed time off to relax and to kick our summer off right! Unfortunately David only got to stay for the weekend but we made sure to make it a great time before he had to fly back home. Then the kids and I stayed for an additional 2 weeks!! This was a treat for me since usually we pack in our time together with fun activities trying to make use of the little time that is usually spent with them but this time along with fun activities time was spent just being together. Mom got to share her gifts of baking and many art activities the kids really don’t get at home since I’m not much of an artist, Dad shared his love for the stars and planets and his gift for computer movie making that yes dad David is using and loving! Another great gift of our visit was the quality time spent with my brother! The kids really got a chance to get pretty close with him not that I’m surprised kids love him! But there is nothing like seeing my kids his niece and nephew bond the way they did with him. It was also a great pleasure to meet his girlfriend and her parents during our stay! I love that she doesn’t let him get away with anything Chris I think you met your match HAHAHA! And of course our trip to Pheonix to visit my moms best friend Debbie and her family! Zoos, swimming, girls day out what can I say? It was a vacation that will never be forgotten with or without pictures the memories made will be treasured forever…….oh but don’t worry there are lots and lots of pictures (scared ya didn’t I ;-)
