MIA

So anyone who checks my blog has probably noticed that we have gone missing recently. Well I just wanted to assure you we are alive and well. The girls and I just ended up on a very fun, very long, extended road trip to see just about everyone we could!

Back in July I stopped working. Which opened up whole new possibilities of summer fun! So when I realized that we had nothing going on in August and the heat wave in Portland hit I decided to throw everyone in the car and head down to California for my nieces baptism. Even though we had just moved into our new house a week earlier and pretty much left everything to put away and clean up when I got back, we have been having a great time.

After staying in Cali for a week instead of heading home we decided to make it down to St. George to visit my grandparents and my dad. We had lots of fun visiting with cousins and swimming and looking for lizards and snakes, and visiting Crystal Mountain.

After Southern Utah we have started making our trek home. We drove up to Provo to visit my sister and her new husband. And then visited with my brother and more cousins. And then spent a day with some old friends we haven't seen in a couple of years.

Currently we are in Murtaugh Idaho visiting Dustin's parents. It has been a fun road trip that I hope my girls will remember. It hasn't always been the easiest being in the car with three little girls for 48 hours but I think we have created some memories that we can hold on to while we are up in Oregon away from everyone.

We are missing daddy LOTS and Dustin is missing us LOTS too. He was actually thinking about getting a dog he has been so lonely (and anyone who knows Dustin knows he is NOT a pet person). We are ready to get home and are headed there tomorrow....well I guess today. It is so early in the morning here and I can't sleep. I will just say that after having to sleep with Lilly for almost three weeks if I never have to sleep with her again it will be too soon!

Anyway, stay tuned for pictures once we get home and settled back into life. We have lots of fun ones! And for anyone that was worried......we didn't leave Dustin.......we are still happily married!


AND by the way, for anyone who doesn't know yet, we are expecting a new baby in February!! More to come about that as well!
