Summer Fun!!!

I am FINALLY going to catch ya'll up on our wonderfully eventful- crazy busy- amazingly fun summer!!!! In this post, Joel gets married, we )Collin, Lilly, myself, mom and dad Kraus, Courtney and Tyler) go on vacation to California and Arizona and just prior to our departure to CA. we celebrated my hubby's b-day hence the cake pic. Lilly went in the ocean for the first time, and absolutely LOVED it!!! And I will tell you, it was COLD. Didn't faze her a bit though, she wanted to keep going out deeper and deeper, when the waves would start to come she would kick and get all excited and try to run towards them!!!! She full on tried to face plant in the sand so she could more effectively eat it. I discouraged this behavior. I thought after her first mouthful she would realize that it just wasn't very good- alas she somehow thought that it was utterly delightful and wanted more!!!! We got to go to Venice beach, the San Diego Zoo (Lilly as you will see was alseep for a good chunk of the Zoo) which was so gorgeous, Collin, his dad, and Uncle Barry went to a Dodgers game, we got to walk around the L.A. Temple- we also got to see Uncle Doug and Aunt Jody too!! And much more it was so wonderful!!!! We had a blast in AZ. too with Collin's sister Miranda and her adorable children!!!! They loved Lilly and were so sweet and wonderful to her!!!! We miss them all!!!! Joel and Bittany's wedding was so beautiful!!!! They are so cute together, I'm so happy to have a new sister!!!! I love all my sweet sisters!!!!! They are such a hansome couple-I miss them!!!! They went back to cold Idaho, and far away!!!! Suffice it to say, it has been a great summer. Lots of fun memories were made. I am finally getting myself back on track, I had a hard time re-acclamating to life back at home. But all is well now!!!! Collin is busy, busy and I don't see him as much as I would like, but ah well. I love it when I get to see him!!!! He is my personal superman, and he is such a wonderful husband!!! Love to you all!!!!
