In April we went to visit the Lelands in Colorado. Daniel had his first experiance with chalk and litttle girl cousins that love him. We had so much fun!!
So here almost a month later is our 4th of July post. We went to Burley Idaho. For everyone who doesn't know where that is its just a small town on your way to Boise. If you blink you miss it. My dads family had a family reunion for the first time in a long time. All of the kids were there (there are 7 still living) and both my grandparents.We got to go to a fun parade and spend the day on the banks of the Snake River. My Grandma lives right across the river from where they shoot off the fireworks so we had a front row seat. Daniel Loved it because we were inside just watching pretty lights and I LOVE Fireworks so it was great. About the pictures the first is David and Daniel at the Paradewith a piece of paper (which I think was his favorite part), then it’s the Lovely picture of mommy and Daniel, then Daniel and the Fire truck and the Monster (it was huge) tractor. It was really hard to get pictures with him looking but I did my best. Sadly we forgot to get one of the whole fam so we'll have to try again next year. Happy Late 4th of July!!!!
So this summer is flying past me and I'm not really happy about it. I had three weeks back in June where I actually got a break and got to be mommy all day long. Those three weeks were the best ever!!!! Sadly they are a memory and my reality is not so great. I am currently trying to finish my last three classes to graduate from BYU in August the 14th to be exact. I have this great D&C class which I love taking because I am learning a ton about the gospel and I am "forced" to read my scriptures every day. Not a bad thing at all. As for the other two classes lets just say I strongly dislike them no I HATE them. BYU is making me take an Advanced writing class and a lovely advanced math class. I have math homework every night, not to mention a test every other week. For English I am currently working on a lovely 10 page paper. YIPPEE!!! I am pretty much hating school right now, and the best thing about all of this is that after I'm done with school I get to go back to work. I have to be to work on the 11th of August so school and work actually overlap by a few days. I am only working part time which makes everything a lot better but sadly that is 4 hours I am away from Daniel every day. I still haven't found him a babysitter and I'm starting to panic. Luckily my mother in-law can watch him one afternoon a week so if there is anyone out there that would like to take the other 4 it would be greatly appreciated as long as I know you will love him and give him as many kisses and hugs as I do. Few that felt good. Sometimes I think I just need to vent. Sorry for all that had to read that but I hope that you are having a great summer and I look forward to my next one which will be work and school free. Oh and I am working on posting our 4th of July Pictures. We went to Idaho for the weekend and it was great fun. I'm just behind. I'll work on it though.
So we have had a busy summer...I am only three credits away from graduating from BYU with my Bachelor's degree in Special Education and these last three classes BITE!!!!! Intro to Calc, Advanced Writing and D&C. I really don't mind the D&C class because I learn so many cool things about the church that I actually enjoy the class, but the other two OH MY GOSH I DON'T LIKE THEM AT ALL!!!! I have homework due every day in math and right now I am working on a 10 page paper for English.
