Utah Lake

On Saturday we got to spend the afternoon boating, and learning how to wake surf. Even though it was challenging and definitely a good work out, it was so much fun to try!

On my Dad's first try, he got right up and rode the wave for 2 min... we've decided he's a closet wake surfer...

Michael had a blast being brave and trying tricks...

It took me FOREVER to finally stay up on the board!..

Go baby, Go!... What can I say? Sam's amazing!...

3-Day Birthday Spectacular!

So I have to say, I had the most awesome birthday this year! It was not just a one day affair, it was 3 days! Saturday we celebrated with the Gubler family, they made DELICIOUS ribs and lots of other foods and we all got to spend time together. Sunday, I got to spend the whole day with my sweetie. Monday, we went to Terra Mia and saw "UP" (which was adorable!) with the Nish family. It was so much fun!

I get to go to the Incubus concert on Thursday!!!!

Me and my sweet Sam...
I had to put this up, our sweet niece Hailey Kale...( love the watermelon seed on her belly)

Hello Rhode Island!!

New Port, R.I

Ashley, Angela and I took a day trip to New Port and had a nice relaxing time. We started off the trip eating a whole lobster, walking along the beach, and taking a tour through the Vanderbilt family mansion. Such a great day!

This is A LOT bigger in person- it is a mansion...

I named my lobster Charles...
We were both trying to be taller than the other... Ashley won, but only because her hair was bigger.... :)

Michael's Mission Call

Michael received his mission call today! We were all on speaker phone while my dad filmed the whole event. And he is going to.......... the Everett, Washington English speaking and is called to serve starting September 16!! We love you Michael and are so proud of you!

Mike Comes to Visit!

Our little brother Michael was able to come out and visit this week and it has been so much fun! It is also exactly what we needed to lift our spirits and get us back in the happy groove of things. We took him to NYC and he had a blast. When we got to the top of the Rockefeller building and watched the sunset, I looked over and saw our lil' man just looking out at Central park soaking up the moment. He is one kid that really knows how to enjoy the simple things in life. He's the sweetest thing.

From the very top of the Rockefeller...

In Central Park, and behind us is the Plaza....

Yay for Hartford!

After a crazy couple of days of being unsure where we would be staying for the summer, we finally settled down. Our apartments are about 15 minutes away from Hartford, and are no where near anything! But we are making the best of this and are excited to get this summer going! The neat part of the 18-hour drive from GA to CT, is we went through a lot places. Here are a few pictures:

Hartford?

So, our office in Atlanta was shut down :( and we were transferred to Hartford, CT. We aren't sure if this is where we would like to stay for the rest of the summer, so for right now we are camped out in a hotel about 20 min away from Hartford. So, we will keep you posted with where we end up! Also, all of the states that we have been in since our adventure began in April are as follows:

CO

MO

KY
