Summer Lovin'

-Last week we went to Utah with Auntie Angel. 5 kids, 2 moms and 10.25 hours later we made it to SLC. We didn't even leave anyone at a rest stop.
-I'm pretty sure we stopped at every rest stop.
-Seriously. Two hours longer than usual.
-Ella actually had to use the bathroom every time we stopped. We only let her have one juice box. I don't know where it all came from.
-We went to a Family Reunion and I actually knew some of my family. When we walked up to the pavilion where everyone was gathered, my nephew Christian said, "Aunt Apryl, WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE?" He didn't believe they were all related to him.
-They were.
-Ella, Gretchen & I got to spend the weekend at my Aunt Jo's house. It was super fun. Gretchen and Ella were in love with all her dog statues. They went around patting all their heads.
-I got to see Janeece & Ken at Aunt Jo's!!! They came over to visit cause they just HAPPENED to be visiting Utah the same time I was. YAY!
-Mom and I drove back to Reno. It only took eight and a half hours.
-We had to stop in Fernley for Ice Cream. Gretchen was loosing it. LOOSING IT!!!
-Fernley is only 1/2 an hour from Reno. But we still had to stop.
-I really want to see Harry Potter this week. But I still haven't seen Star Trek OR XMen. I'm so behind the times.
-Being poor sucks.
-My mom has all the good pictures from our trip on her camera & I forgot to copy them before she left.
-Uncle Tyler & Auntie Meghan came with Baby Kate this weekend. Baby Kate is super cute. She also sounds like she's been smoking for 60 years. It only adds to her charm.
-Yesterday our ward had a "Pie & Ear" party. For Pioneer Day. I didn't get it till yesterday. And I made the posters for the party. (Get it? PIE-N-EAR DAY!)
-Colby and Gretchen entered the Pie Eating Contest together.
-They didn't win, but not because they didn't try.
-Auntie Meghan has all the good pictures of the Pie Eating contest on her camera & I forgot to copy them before she left.
-The sprinklers just came on while Auntie Krista was pushing Gretchen on the swing.
-Ha ha!
-I think I'm going to return my camera because it sucks.
-That's what you get when you spend $100 on a digital camera.
-I hope you are all doing well, that you have lots of tomatoes in your gardens and cash in your accounts.
