About a year ago, our really good friends took on a new position for Best Buy which forced them to move to Idaho. It's bitter sweet because it's been a great advancement for Greg's career but it also took them away from Utah. We did everything with these kids and miss them a ton.

Luckily, Idaho is only a 6 hour drive so they came to visit for Leila's blessing in July and again this week just for fun! They have two kids, Lexi and Mason and they are adorable. Lexi was the first baby Eric and I have really been around and seen grow up. Remember, we're both the youngest in our families and Lexi has taught us a lot and has been so much fun. She is now 3 1/2 and we can't believe how much she's grown in the 10 months they've been gone. Mason is 2 months older than Leila so that made it harder when they moved because we wanted them to be baby buddies.

We chilled in the pool at their hotel. It was Leila's first time swimming and I wasn't sure how'd she'd react but she loved it! It didn't even phase her that the pool wasn't warm like her bath water. I was trippin' over the colder water more than she was...what a trooper.

summer has arrived

...and we finally get to enjoy it with the great weather. i love the rain but its nice to have cloudless skies and high temperatures again. this summer jalaine and i bought passes to seven peaks water park, i've been several times this year and its heavenly. there's no better way to enjoy summer than out in the sun and at the pool. i just love water parks...the big slides are my favorite. they have this crazy looking slide called boomerang, i'm usually not a whimp when it comes to rides but this slide is scary and i don't know how eric convinced me to get on it. it was fun but i felt like we were going to fall out. i can't believe some of the kids that go on it, i saw one girl that looked like she was 6 and went on it by herself, i figured if she could do it, i could. maybe, just maybe, i'll get on it again.
