Ok, let’s try this again. This is only the millionth time
I’ve started this post, only to look at it weeks later and find that it is very
out of date. I honestly don’t know how most bloggers post all the time, but
then again, our circumstances are probably very different. Life is wonderful
and crazy when you have 3 children, 2 of which are under the age of 1, and 8
months apart. I am in love with my little family though, and have loved all the
adventures we have had together. July was a fun filled month with celebrated
milestones, lots of laughs, hot days of swimming, a trip that took me 15 hours
on the road, meeting new family members and hard anniversaries. I would say,
for the most part, we have lived life to the fullest!

| 4th of July fun |

| Little Man is already driving! |
My little nephew had his baby blessing at the beginning of
the month. It was all the way in Utah, and me needing a break with all of Jason’s
out of town adventures, I wanted so badly to get out of town and see my family.
Well it worked out great. I got a sitter for the 2 boys and Callie girl and I
were off for a long weekend trip. Driving the day after the 4th,
probably wasn’t the best idea, because there were so many people driving.
Traffic was not the greatest, road construction was everywhere, and when you
have to stop every 3 hours to feed your newborn baby and visit friends on the
way, well it takes you 15 hours. My sweet baby girl was a trooper though, and I
sure loved showing her off and loving on her. It was nice to have one on one
time with my sweet baby even though I missed my boys.

While in Utah, I also got to visit my girls’ grave. It was
bitter sweet to go there. Callie and I said hello to them and as we sat there,
I thought about how much I missed each one. I often wonder what life would be
like with all of my girls here. Poor Carter and Daxton would be out numbered,
and I think I would feel a little more overwhelmed with 6 beautiful baby girls 3
years and younger. Oh how I cannot wait until the day I get to hold, cuddle,
and kiss their sweet faces. God is good, and I know that every loss we
experience here on earth with be compensated as long as we do all that we can
here on earth to live the way He would want us to live.

| A place that has a huge chunk of my heart |
When I returned home from my Utah adventures, I brought with me, 2 wonderful friends! We have been friends for at least 3 years, and they were two of my very favorite people when we moved to Spanish Fork. I have missed them dearly, and was so happy that they wanted to accompany me on my adventure back to California. I talked them into saying an extra day, and we had so much fun visiting, playing with babies and Carter, swimming, and seeing a movie together. They only thing I regret, it not taking any pictures except for one. On our next adventure together, I'll make sure to take a million!

| Wonderful friends! I wish we took more pictures! |
As I am writing this now, I can’t really remember the rest
of July. Only that I am so glad we have a pool in our back yard with this crazy
valley heat! It never got less than 95 the whole month of July, and when it costs
a fortune to run AC in your house… your house is hot too. I hope you all
enjoyed your summer and were able to create so many memories with your loved
one. That is what we take with us in the end. Memories of the wonderful life we
had here on earth. Happy reading!
