Summer Time

So, as I promised I will give you a photo time line of our summer. Here it goes!

MAY


Family Photo!


We met up with Matt's cousin (well, their dad's were cousins...whatever that makes these two) in Nauvoo. We spent time with his wife and son. Mitch and Matt were college roommates... I can only image what kind of trouble they got into.



Ben Graduated from CFHS



Garrick started eating solid food! Party! He starting sleeping much better at night after this!

JUNE



New Haircut

My brother Joe left on his church mission to Malaga Spain!



Happy Birthday Matt!!!

I threw Matt a surprise Birthday party. He had no clue! We swam, ate food--Matt's two favorite things! So it was awesome! Thanks to the Washburns for letting us use their pool, their house, and for keeping it a secret.

July

Our 4th of July Baby!!!!

He slept right through the fireworks! It was great! Muscatine shoots their fireworks off right over top the river (from the Illinois side) which makes it really fun to watch. Ben and Jacob (two of my brothers) were with us as we celebrated.





Matt helped Garrick learn to ride Rocky. Hopefully this doesn't become a habit!


Also this month I threw a HUGE 50th birthday party for my mother in law. It was so much fun and a big success. I think I will have to put up a separate post with the party pictures.

AUGUST



August was crazy! We moved out of our house 2 weeks before we could move into our new house in Muscatine. So we have been living off Matt's and my parents for the past 2 weeks and are anxiously waiting for our own space again! But we are thankful for all of the kindness our family has shown us.
