Well we survived the rest of our crazy summer of living in hotels. We are now back in Utah and so happy to be home. Reno actually surprised us and came home a week earlier than we were expecting so we have been busy trying to enjoy whatever summer weather we have left.

This is what our breakfast, lunch and dinner looked like for the past month.

Literally living out of our suitcase:)

These cute girls kept us entertained all day long. I think Marli and Laney would have gone crazy (me too!) if they didn't have Oaklee, Maddie and Brynli to play with.

The highlight of being in Washington was going to meet my best friend Natalie up in Coeur d'Alene. It was such a cute town - we went to lunch, did some shopping, went on beautiful cruise on the lake and played at the beach. It was the perfect getaway from our hotel life.
Missing Alaska - Marli was so excited to see this moose sculpture on the streets of Coeur d' Alene, at least she could get close to this one.
The cruise was beautiful but not very relaxing. Marli and Laney wanted to run all over the boat. This picture pretty much sums up how it all went.

Seeing the animals at Thanksgiving Point with Grandma

We have been able to spend time with Grandma Gunn since we've been home. This was after we helped Marli and Grandma paint their nails.
For Labor Day we went with my parents and some cousins on a hike. Marli did great hiking on her own and not having to be carried even though she was tired. We stuffed Laney in the Baby Bjorn even though she has probable outgrown it, but if we let her loose she probably would have run right off the mountain.


Marli and Macie were exhausted after the hike they both crashed on my bed when we got home.


Marli started preschool this month! She is growing up so fast and I'm not sure if I am ready for this whole school thing. She has been so excited to go to school, but I think it was mostly so she could wear her new clothes and get a backpack. She has been loving it so far and is already impressing us with how smart she is:)


LAKE POWELL!!!
Reno and I just got back from the most amazing trip to Lake Powell. It has been way too long since I have been there so we (I) couldn't wait to get in the water. It was four days full of great friends, lots of volleyball and horseshoes, wakeboarding, surfing, eating way too much food, laying out and the BLOB!!
