I've been back to work for a couple of days and I think I am almost caught up. It hasn't been too bad, but after being gone for 11 days of the month, it added up fast. Our trip home went great. We spent the first two days at Bear Lake with Alden's best friend and his family and my best friend and her family. They were both having their annual family reunion and it just so happened to be at the same campground. Lane and Angie have a beautiful new baby girl that was born on June 25th. Her name is Reagan Marie and she is so cute, with lots of dark hair.

Then we were off to Idaho Falls to see Alden's family. We had family pictures taken at JCPenny that turned out very nice. On Tuesday everyone but myself went to the lake for more water skiing. I stayed home and took care of Mykah, our six month old nephew, since the day care thought he was too sick to stay there. I really didn't want to spend all day in the hot sun and I was already getting two cold sores on my bottom lip. And my legs were still a little pink from Bear Lake. It turned out for the better because Sherry, Alden's mom, got to spend more time with her grand kids that live in Arizona. Mykah was fussy most of the time and just wanted to be held, with me standing. Needless to say my arms were sore the next day. We still don't know if he was really sick or if he didn't feel well from having shots the previous day. It was fun to cuddle him without the next person waiting in line to hold him.

On Wednesday, we met my family in Salt Lake City for brunch. They picked Isaac (aka Elder Moon) up at the airport at 9 am. It was so good to see him. My nephews, Reed and Cash, were so funny. They wouldn't leave Isaac alone for even a minute. We spent most of the day shopping in Salt Lake before going to my parents house. Seeing Isaac was definitely the highlight of the trip. He seems so much the same. Just the cute little brother I used to take on road trips with me to rodeo's. He put on a few pounds, which is good. He no longer looks anorexic. I had a great time visiting with Chrissy and her family. I always miss her so much. Most of my family was at Isaac's homecoming party/church. The only sibling that wasn't there was Linette, the oldest sister. So we were close to having all seven kids all together. Oh well, maybe next time.

Our drive home went really good and now we are just playing catch up. Laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc.

Congratulations Eliza, Bryan and Kambria on little Weston D. Have fun with the little guy!

Until next time...
