Okay, so not really but 2 people did comment on the lack of my blogging presence. We have been just almost crazy busy with the normal summer stuff. We left the first part of July for Utah. We spent the 4th there with family and the rest of that week. Then the 9th we went to Lake Powell with our family friend the Clarks. We had absolutely so much fun. For those of you that may have never been there, it is as near paradise as I can imagine it. We were there from Monday to Saturday. It was so nice to just be able to relax and read (we obviously didn't take the kids) or wakeboard or do whatever we wanted. We are so lucky to be able to go and both just really look forward to the vacation every year. Of course it was around 110 degrees during the day and it seemed like about 108 at night when we were trying to sleep. It took until the last night that I suggested to JD that maybe we shouldn't even sleep on our 30 pound flannel sleeping bag but should just sleep on the mats. That made it a bit more bearable. Really it is just such an amazing place.

So we got home to Eugene on Monday and JD's parents flew in on Thursday. They just left today and JD's sister and brother-in-law and their 7 week old baby fly in tomorrow for a week. So much fun but needless to say we have been busy. I love summers but they always go too fast. I can't believe it is almost August!
