I'm Back!

I took a brief sabbatical from my blog. We were gone almost the whole month of July. Missing a month made me about four months behind. So finally I feel like my life is back in enough order to blog again. Also, Trevor is now stationed in Washington and he has been bothering me for a while to keep him updated here. So, Trevor, this is for you!

Like I mentioned, we were gone for 3 1/2 weeks in July. We had a crazy summer, so I'll give some brief recaps on what has been going on since I last left off.

First on our crazy vacation we went to Pueblo, CO to visit Randy's Grandparents and his Uncle Steve and his family. We left on Friday, July 8 and stayed until Monday. We all had so much fun!

One of the highlights was when Grandpa took the boys around on the lawn mower.

The boys thought they were oh so cool, because they got to "drive" Grandpa's "tractor". We also went out with Randy's Uncle Steve and Aunt Stephanie to see the sights of Pueblo. At one of their parks in the summer they have rides for little kids.

Beck acted as I expected any child to act. He was excited, smiling and dragged his cousin Stevie on all the rides with him. As seen here

Tate and Trey however were so odd. They didn't smile on any ride. They had no facial expression at all. Most of the rides had some sort of steering wheel, which they refused to touch. They just sat there motionless, like this.

Trey is actually slightly smiling in this picture, which is surprising. However, the second the ride ended the twins started screaming and crying until they were back on another ride. And there they would sit, not smiling and motionless.

We all had so much fun in Pueblo. It was so relaxing and wonderful to spend time with great people!
