Summer updates...

This summer I got spoiled!  Not only was it wonderful but it went by way too fast... Why was I spoiled??  well... We were able to take 3 vacations. 
1. Utah  2. New York  3. Boston
We also got the pleasure of having my brother Mckay and his lovely family live in Houston for the Summer.  Went swimming, blueberry picking, cheesecake, family dinners, zoo, etc. together.
I sure hope they move back here! We sure miss having them near by .They always bring so much fun. 
It was Daniel's off season so he came home much earlier than the rest of the year.  
Calvin and I went swimming at least twice a week as well as other "abentures" as Calvin would say it. He's turning into a fish.
Went to the beach frequently with friends.
Celebrated Daniel's Birthday
My best friend from High School came to visit us for four days.  We had a blast together and Calvin instantly became attached to her.  She was so good to me and to him.  We were very very sad when she had to leave.  She taught me a lot in just a short period of time of how to live a life more like our Savior lived his life.  She has always been a great example to me in loving life and being positive. 
Then a few days later we ventured to Boston... it was blissful and absolutely Perfect. But i'll post more about this another time.  

 
Calvin's new thing is laying on our kitchen floor this time he did it while eating his peach!
 
 
Calvin loves reading. He loves to go the library to pick out books. When we get home he gets super excited to read them.

Went Fishing inside for Dads Birthday! 

Took Jadeyn and Keo to the Zoo with us. Had a blast with these cute kids. 

 I got up here to hide from Jess and Calvin wanted to get up too so we hid from her. She walked right by us and didn't even see us until Calvin yelled out Hey.

  5. Oh my what a fun spoiled girl you are.:) I'm so glad you had some fun time you deserved it after your long alone winter going to the zoo, beach swimming, 3 vacations, so cool you are making many memories. I love how Calvin loves your hat. You seem to just get prettier. How is that possible. Love the pics with Jess and that she couldn't find you. I remember those libraries days what fun you guys had and it was free! Thanks for posting so many pictures it makes a difference to know what you have been up to and see Calvin grow up.

  7. I love all the pictures of Calvin! He has quite the personality I must say. And you are absolutely gorgeous sister! I'm going to have to come to Houston soon because I feel like I'm missing out on so much fun. Glad you've been having a good summer.

  8. The city of New York and Utah are one of the best locations in the world to travel to with family or friends. Also one can find a number of extended stay NYC hotels.
