Getting Caught Up

So, I got a little behind...Here's us all caught up now! :)

Our August:

Michael began the first week of August away on business about 5 hours from home. So towards the end of that week Christie, the kids, and the dog met him where he was working and we started on our vacation! We spent Saturday and Sunday with Michael’s parents, and then Monday-Friday with Christie’s parents in Tennessee. While in Tennessee we got to see Christie’s two sisters too! We got them to go geocaching with us while we were there too! We also got to visit the Great Smoky Mountains, and then took a trip to Gatlinburg to visit the aquarium and walk around the beautiful town! Once we got back to San Angelo we started moving into our new rent house in Mertzon! We just moved a little bit at a time, so we have half our stuff at the house and half at the apartment, but it’s so nice to have a little extra space! The rest of the August was spent moving things, getting adjusted, and playing outside.

And Our July:

These months are just flying by now! We are now more than halfway through the year 2010! That’s hard to believe! Our July was a little calmer than most of our previous months! This month we stayed home and Michael didn’t even have to travel for work this month! We took a trip to the Abilene zoo; it’s only about an hour drive. We love visiting zoos! We spent the 4th just being lazy around the house and then going out to the local fireworks show! The kids got to wear super cute shirts from their Memaw and Pawpaw, and got decked out in their glowing bracelets for the firework show. They loved the fireworks! We spent a lot of time swimming at the apartment pool. We also started a new family hobby! It’s called Geocaching…and we all LOVE it! Michael turned the big 2-4 this month! Only one more year until we get a discount on our auto insurance now! At the end of the month, Michael’s parents came to visit! Haylie and Hunter loved seeing and spending time with their Memaw and Pawpaw! And Michael and Christie enjoyed a little alone time together (finally)!
