July Happenings

The month of July has been full of fun events, but I am anxiously awaiting the fall months to come. I love the change of seasons. Not to mention, ready for the temps to drop! The past two weeks of stormy weather has been fabulous though.
Noah started of this month by going to Havasupai with the young men in the ward. They had so much fun and everyone did pretty good on the hike. The only bad thing about the trip is that Noah lost his wedding ring while going through a rapid. I guess if you're going to lose your wedding ring it may as well be in one of the seven wonders of the world. Right?! He finished up a session of summer school, and is currently still on the Dean's list! Then the young leaders took the boys up to canyon lake for an overnight lake trip before school started for everyone. They had a blast!
You can now add Gap to one of my job titles! I started working flow. Which means you go in 2 or 3 times a month after hours and help put out all the stock and organize everything. I pulled in a whopping 9 hours this past month! You should see my pay check! Noah just makes fun of me. But I get a great discount, so who cares! I just finished reading Twilight. It is such a good book. I neglected my kids and husband for about two days, but I really could not put it down. I also just finished writing our primary program. Ya that's right! I am so excited to see it all come together. Our primary kids are the best!
Brody just finished up his swimming lessons. (finally!) He is getting so good at swimming back and forth all by him self. He spends most of his days playing with his best bud Dayton who lives next door. All the other kids on the street are in school already so it's just the little ones again. We took Brody to a D Backs game for the first time and absolutely loved it. They handed out baseball cards as you walked in, so he kept waving them at the game, thinking that it meant something. It was really funny. Brody gave a talk in church this past Sun. and did so good!! He absolutely loved being in front of everyone with all the attention. I wonder where he gets that from??
Sadie had a big month in July. She turned 2!! She had a really fun party and got way too many fun new toys. She also gave up the passy! Noah cut the tip off one of them and gave it back to her, and she said: "not going". She didn't really get it and then threw it. She asked for it a few times but that was it. She is such the big girl now.
Well that's about it. We are all doing great and are thankful for all our many blessings!
