First of all - - we have moved!!! No - not somewhere far away, or to a nice city (I wish), but just across town to our rental property. We put our house on the market a few weeks ago, and it sold in four days. We are really grateful, because not much has been selling around here, but it has made our move much more hurried than we had planned. Our renters moved out of our little 1,000 square foot, two-bedroom duplex apartment, and we are currently trying to squish our family of seven, and all of our stuff into it. To say that it has made me grouchy more often than not would be an understatement. I have to keep reminding myself that this is only temporary and will open up bigger and better possibilities for us. Cross your fingers for me that I can hold on, and say a little prayer that my family will still love me when we are finished living in these close quarters.
Okay, so now that the big news is out of the way, I will move onto the stuff that is a little more fun.
Jeremy had to attend the ASA conference again this year, so Dallin, Thomas, Jack and I tagged along for a little vacation. Jeremy's sister, Emma, and her family took care of Drake and Tad while we were gone. I am sooooo grateful. It was nice to have a little time to just focus on my bigger boys for a change, and it was also nice not to have to stress about my little boys since we spent hours, and hours, and hours at the pools.

The kids in the cold springs pool. This water was icy cold.
I spent some time in the pools and even took a few trips down the water slide, but this was my favorite place to be, just chilling out and watching my kids have fun. The evenings in Tucson were really beautiful.
We ate a lot on this trip. I think I gained about five pounds. This particular restaurant was 5 Guys Burgers.
We also finished up baseball season. I have to admit, I am always glad when baseball season is over. Between practices and multiple games each week, baseball keeps us much busier than I like to be. This year was especially bad, since we were trying to start our move at the same time that games were going on.

Dallin playing catcher. I think this is still his favorite position, but he played mostly second base and some first base this year.

Jack at the ball park. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of him in action on the field.

The boys also just finished up a session of swimming lessons. They had fun and did really well.

The boys freezing after lessons, while I insist that they stand there so I can get a picture.
Dallin in the pool. They are trying to get him to join the swim team, but he is not that interested, and the pool is a 25 minute drive, so I am just as glad.

Well, that sums up the highlights of our Summer so far. Next up - - a trip to Utah, and then back to finish up the move and close on our house. Crazy!!! And, if you have read this far, bless you. You are a true friend!!
