We're home again!

Well, we made it back to South Dakota. We had a lot of fun in Utah, but it is good to be back home again. Hopefully we will be able to finish unpacking soon so it will really feel like home again. While we were in Utah we went with some friends to see a Real Soccer game in Salt Lake City. It was our first soccer game and I have to say that soccer fans can be a little crazy. It was fun to hang out with old friends.
Alex is going through the "fake smile stage" on most of our pictures so just enjoy!

We had a lot of fun over the fourth of July. We went to a barbeque at my mom's and then went to Clearfield City's fireworks. They were awesome! After the fireworks we went back to my mom's and did some of our fireworks. The boys loved it!


We also added another member to our family. We adopted an adorable minature pinscher and named her Aella. She has so much energy in between her many naps. Here is a picture of her wrestling Dutch, my sister's dog.

Aella has decided that James is his favorite. I don't blame her! He's my favorite too!


We also went boating with James's brother Bryan and his girlfriend. My brother Danny came along with us too. Unfortunately, I was having issues with Lupus that day so I didn't get into the water, but I still had fun.

Uncle Bryan even let Jamesy drive!


Alex was so funny! He just laid there like a lump. We were worried that he wasn't having a good time until he got off the tube and into the boat and asked to go again. Funny kid!


We were house sitting for my ex-step-mom. They live kind of on a farm and while we were there we were able to ride horses. James really loved being around all of the animals.

The boys couldn't wait!

I also had my 10 year High School Reunion while we were out there. I had such a good time catiching up with old friends! Thankfully, a lot of us have kept in touch over the years so it wasn't wierd.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone we saw in Utah. It was a lot of fun spending time with everyone.!

I'm jealous that you got to go to your reunion - my ten-year is this weekend, and there is obviously no way I'm going to make it. Cute pictures!

when you bring the boys over to play you will have to bring the pup. Kinga would love a playmate too.
