We're BACK!


We are home now after 3 1/2 weeks in Utah visiting my family. We had so much fun and I'm surprised how hard it has been to come back home. The boys had so much fun with their cousins and even met their newborn cousin, Tian, who was born last Monday morning. It was so much fun to hold him! He is such an adorable baby!

Then Heidi's baby boy was born in Texas yesterday morning. All the adults (except for G-Gpa Jolley)were still awake playing games at 1 am and got to see a cute cell phone picture of baby boy Tuttle! Even though we live in another state, I have been in town (for one reason or another) at least within a week of all the births of my nieces and nephews except for Sada, the oldest who was born in Oregon before I moved here. I count Heidi's new baby because I was there for the "He's born!" phone call to Grandma and Grandpa! Amazing!

Well, I have lots to blog about and lots to unpack from our suitcases...so stay tuned...WE'RE BACK!

So glade to have you back! I can't wait to see and hear about what you guys have been up to. I didn't know you were in Utah at the same time we were. How fun! Seems like the place to be this summer. I think we just missed the Bolingers, the Hintons were driving there the day we were driving back and we ran into the Byrds at Temple Square. I am sure their were several other people down there too that I don't even know about yet...like YOU! =)

Thanks, Alyson! We spent a lot of time in that hammock in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard. Lots of laughs when anyone flipped off onto the grass!

Kaylynn, it would have been so fun to run into you guys at Thanksgiving Point! I'm looking forward to your trip pictures on your blog!

What a cute picture. I am so sorry we missed you. It has been a crazy summer! And I can't believe it is that hot in Oregon. Time for the beach I guess!

Great idea, Holli!

Wish we could have hung out more... glad we got one day with you though. :) Hooray for new babies, and looking forward to pictures of your trip.

I love your hammock family picture! It makes me want to buy a hammock!!!

I can't wait to read the future posts from your trip. I am so sad we never crossed paths in Utah. I know I posted a few of the bad things, but that was just scratching the surface! I don't ever want to go back.

ANYWAY....It sounds like you had a wonderful time. Lots of new babies, and there is nothing better than that!

love that picture! How fun. You are wonderful. I'm so excited to get to know you better at our sometimes crazy (not reverent) weekly presidency meetings. Coby would have deserted the house already... Hang in there.
