California in August

I'm finally able to sit down to update the month of August. We'll see if we can get up to date...Both kids are sleeping and Rick is working so I've got just a little bit of time to reflect on the last couple of months. Rick was home for just a week and a half after Lexi was born and during that time we had a short visit from Gramma Judy. The morning Rick left for his last couple of weeks in Arkansas, Grampa Paul came to play for a couple of days. Then he took me and the girls back to California to spend a couple of weeks being spoiled rotten. Rick met us there and we attended younger brother Dallin's piano concert, sister Elise's wedding, blessed cousin Eva and our Lexi at church, and also had a mission farewell for Dallin all in the same weekend. Phew! Here were some of the other fun things we did...

Played in the pool with cousin Livi
