Some Snipets from Summer

What a busy summer!!! Deciding to move, getting the house ready to sell, looking for a new house, packing, moving, unpacking, making new friends . . . Plus some fun vacations and great times with family. Wow!

I've just spent the last hour finally figuring out how to download all of the pictures from my spiffy new camera to the computer (it really was complicated--I had to install special software and everything) and now I am all ready to put them on the blog. So here are a few of my faves from the summer of 2009. And only a few because I never have the patience to upload lots of pictures to blogger. It always seems to take FOREVER!! If anyone has some tips, please let me know!


Aaron's birthday. Remember how he loves shoes? I think he's even saying "shoes!!" in the picture. Look at the delight in his eyes.


More birthday. Yummy cake.


Now here are some pictures from our vacation to St. George. Than, Sara, Aaron, and I drove to the Grand Canyon one day to check it out. It was totally worth the drive for me and Than and totally awesome to see. We went on a teeny-tiny little hike, more like a stroll, but the kids got wiped-out and we had to carry them back to the car.


My guys!!


The 2 cutest kids in the world.


One of the precious pictures that I'm not taking.


Here's more St. George. This is what we did every other day that we weren't seeing natural wonders of the world. SWIMMING!! We were so fortunate to be able to stay in a house with a pool. Thank you grandma and grandpa!


Sweet Sara


My cute hubby!!


Aaron's 2nd favorite thing to do in the pool. His 1st favorite? Jumping off the side and being dunked under water.


Daredevil Sara. I think this picture is awesome!


One last picture in front of our first home.


And now I've said this before (and I'll probably say this again): I'll never go this long with out blogging again!!

Love the pictures! I have found the easiest way is to do a slideshow. Picasa.com is where I upload all of mine, it is a google thing..

Glad everything is going good! I have some pictures to send to you from the reunion. do you want me to send them to your email?

Way to update girl. Going forever without posting is a pain because you feel you have so much catching up to do... then it seems like a job. No fun.

New goal for Veena- update once a week!

I love the pictures... I love the vacation... I love your kids beautiful faces... I love it all!!!

Congrats on the new house! Can't wait to see it on your next post! ;P
