this is the way i blog...

 I really wish I was better about blogging... but I'm not. I realized today that this is what I always do... I wait until I have a handful of pictures or so and then I just throw them on here. If I don't have pictures, I don't even think about blogging! Oh well... every one loves pictures right?!
Anyways, the rest of our summer has gone pretty well. We went to SD and spent some time with my family. We've still just been working. We've also still been looking at houses. Dallas went and took his placement test to find out what classes at Chandler-Glibert he needs sign up for. I have to say I was very proud and excited for him. He is so smart! He did very well on the test, to say the least and he will be signing up for classes this evening at midnight (to get the teachers he wants, not because he is super excited (: haha)

 This pic will forever make me laugh. It only
two years of Dallas telling me he likes headbands
and that I should wear them like this, for me to
actually do it haha! I should have taken and
posted the after pic, of the indentation on 
my forehead because the head band was new
and super tight haha! We were out running 
errands and I couldn't even stand to keep
it on so I walked around target & bed bath
&beyond with a red marks across my forehead! 
The things I do for my lucky hubby haha!!! 
This is a pic of me with my youngest sister Mandy. Her, my oldest sister, my nephew, and I went to Story Book Island and we couldn't resist the fun mirrors!



My nephew Cole. We just made a morning of doing touristy things, pretending like we didn't all grow up in South Dakota haha!

A pic of alot of, but not nearly all of Dallas' cousins and one of his aunt's. His cousin Trevan wanted to go ice skating before he left for his mission. I have to say, it was fun & a nice break to be freezing cold in the middle of the AZ summer!

Like I said, we went to SD to visit my family. My brothers and sisters playing poker with Dallas outside the camper.

This is me with two of my cousins. It was such a fun day at the lake. My grandparents, and all of my aunts and uncles and all but one of my cousins (on my mom's side) all came, it was quite the crew! No one could remember when the last time was that we were all together. I would have posted more pics but I can't seem to recall where I left our camera :S. 

 & What would a day at the lake be with out some boating and tubing! Some of the guys got pretty crazy on the tube, I would have died if it would have been me! So I went with little Josslyn... look how dangerous we are.. no hands haha!

So I have this thing about baking lately, I love it! While I was home my (oldest) sister and I made desert, peach pie, (not the pic posted) and it turned out amazing. Then, one of my mom's good friends had this amazing farm where they grow all of their own organic fruits and veggies so my mom sent me home with some apples so I, still being in a baking mood, decided to make an apple pie. I finally got the whole lattuce top down!

I just had to post this, because I always am wanting to take pictures and this is always the smile I get.. I just can't help but love it.
<3

So there is how we spent most of the rest of our summer this year. I haven't been good about taking pics but we have gotten to spend time with some of our friends and cousins which is so fun. I seriously love Dallas family they are all so wonderful. And we really do have some of the most awesome friends!

I have been working on some stuff for work but I'll post more about that later (meaning when I get the pics ready, haha)! We have some really fun stuff planned already for this fall/winter. I can't wait! Hopefully that means there will be lots of pics = more frequent blog posts, I guess we'll see!
