I realize that I've WAY too long since I've blogged and spring & summer flew by!  We did so much with parents visiting; easter; library trips; playing together; young womens overnighter; Yellowstone trip paired with Utah for a few days & a wedding; summer playing; bowling; berry picking; river swimming; 4th of July with friends; buying our new trailer; birthday parties; Aimee family visiting for 2 weeks!; Jaycee starting soccer; gum in hair resulting in Hadi hair cut; camping trips; zoo; and lots of time outside. Wowsers we were busy!!!  Here's some pics of the fun
