Utah Trip - 1

We had such a great time in Utah this summer.  We packed so much into three weeks! 
We started off with the Spanish Fork Rodeo - my kids loved it! 


 
The next day we went to the Spanish Fork parade.  The boys loved dancing in the streets.  We played with the cousins had a cookout and enjoyed being together with family.
 

 
 
We also got the opportunity to go to the Jepsen Family reunion and spend the rest of the week at Grandma Greats!  I have so so many memories at her house growing up with aunts uncles, and cousins.  I was excited to let my kids get to know all of their cousins and extended family.  I had a great time reuniting with my cousins and the rest of my family as well.    We played hard, had a treasure hunt, had relays games, a bridal shoer and spent a day at the lake.  The one mishap was that Matthew walked into a moving wooden swing and had to get 6 stitches in his little forehead.  Thank goodness for Dr Kerry my cousin who was able to stitch him up and still get us up to Bear Lake.  In all the craziness, I even forgot to take a picture.   Here is the happy boy with a bandaid:)  Our ears were ringing just a little when the stitches were all finished.  He was such a trooper during the whole thing. 
 
 
We also got to the Auger Family Reunion and had some yummy food - love me some good dutch oven.  The kids got rides from Great Grandpa Auger on his four wheeler.  We had such a great time catching up and visiting with family I don't see as much as I should.
 
 
 
 
 

Whoa July what a month:)

So Eric came home one day and said, hey i talked to a recruiter..... and as I write this post, the rest is history.  Eric wasn't totally loving his assignment, but I didn't realize he wanted to look until he realized it when the recruiter called.  He ended up interviewing with a few companies, having second interviews, squeezing in a trip to Vietnam and then accepting a new position in Mid August.  Oh and did I mention that I was in Utah for most of that time.  With this job change we will need to move to katy to be closer to his job.  So the house went up on the market at the end of August and sold within two days.  It was a lot to take in so quickly.  We decided that we better find somewhere to go so the next week we spent looking for a house in Katy and luckily found one fairly quickly.  We move into the new house in December.  So wow a lot of changes.  I am sure there will be lots of blog entries about all the changes.
