How we spent our July

I am not very good at this blog thing anymore- partly because I don't feel like there has been anything too exciting going on in our lives lately. We did have a busy, fun July so I thought I would share about it.
It started out with us going with a bunch of our friends to a firework show they had at a nearby park. We took pizza and treats and hung out at the park and watched the firework show. It was a lot of fun!

Lisa, Me, and Shan- Grateful for the friends we've made here!

A few days later we headed out to Utah for the Fourth of July! We were so excited to go home for a few days. We hadn't been home since January and I was very much looking forward to going home and seeing my family and friends.

We spent the 4th of July at my parents house with my family, and Chase's brothers came up for lunch and a day of swimming. The boys spend a majority of the time attempting this little talent- glad I got the good one on video!

That night we had a BBQ with my family and went to the Sandy fireworks

My nieces had changed so much in the last 7 months we were amazed. Abbey seemed so grown up! We spend a lot of time playing with them and this involved blowing bubbles, trying out the hula hoop, and swimming.





It was so nice to just spend time with family. We did a lot while we were there but also had a lot of time to just relax and hang out- spent a good chunk of each day at the pool as well.  

Love her.

I gave Abbey some swim lessons

Brave enough to go under the water

Had a water fight on a daily basis...

Chase and Avery

I was so happy to finally meet my friends baby as well!

We were so grateful to be able to see so many people while we were there. Thanks to everyone who went out of there way to come see us.
