Delay of Posts...

Ok there has been a lot going on in our lives. First off, we sold our house (very quickly and kinda unexpected) so now we are living with Gavins parents (until we figure out where we want to move...) So all of our stuff is in storage and it's been pretty interesting living with only what we need. All I have to say is I do a lot of laundry. Well I cannot for the life of me figure out how to download pics from my camera to her computer because it's a little older, so I may not have any pics on here for a little while.
Well Breilyn has been busy this summer with all of her little activities: Basketball, Dance, Tumbling, Dance again and T-ball. Along with summer movies and swimming. And she is becoming quite the little swimmer. I'm so proud of her.
This summer we also went back to Mexico and stayed with our friends in their parents house there. I wish I could show some pics because it was amazing. So nice and huge and secluded. Breilyn and I also went up to Wyoming to my dads ranch and helped him hay. It was actually a lot of fun. Especially the weather, anything to get out of this AZ heat!! Then we stayed with my brother in Utah and played with them for a day. We went to Thanksgiving Point and the kids had fun playing with the animals and riding the ponies at the petting zoo. Oh how I wanted to stay there, lately I've really been tired of the heat and the desert.
This week is Breilyn's first week of Preschool. Oh how time flies. I can't believe she is almost 4 (going on 16, she is too smart for her own good). We are so excited for school though or at least I am. We already had preschool orientation and she was given her first homework assignment. A coloring page a "get to know you" for the teacher. And right when we got home we did it together, it was so fun. :) She goes for three days a week, so I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself. You know some people may think that I have it easy with just one kid, but not when you are the constant playmate, she definately keeps me busy!
Then on Saturday we are taking off for DISNEY WORLD and Seaworld/Aquatica. We are so excited. Breilyn keeps asking about the whales and if we can pet them. And she see's these homebuilder signs with Mickey ears on them and keeps saying we are going to go see Mickey Mouse Club House, and Are we going tomorrow? When are we going? Is it tomorrow? She's just a little bit excited about it. As am I, I'm not gonna lie. :)
Well it's getting late, hopefully I can figure out how to get some pictures on here soon. :)

Wow,you have been super busy lately! Congrats on selling your house, I am sad that I never got to see it, but from all the pictures it looks beautiful! Any idea where you are wanting to live? West side, east side? Glad to hear everything is going well and I can't believe Breilyn is starting school!

It was good to read about what you and your family is up to. I do have to agree, UT is pretty nice:)

We are in San Antonio,TX. I miss the great weather we left behind and the country. We were at my parents home/farm for most of the summer. It was great except not being with Rob.

Best of luck to you and your move.
