JULY AND AUGUST:
Uncle Jordan (my little brother and his fiance and friend)
showed up one Saturday and stayed a while to visit.
Also, during this visit no one told us Ariel was
Jordan's fiance. He just walked in and said
"this is Ariel." ... Wish I would have known... haha.
We redid Lainee's lamps and rearranged her room
so it's much more cute and functional.
24th of July celebration at the stake center one Saturday morning
with our super good girlfriends, Janel and Sophie!
Sophie is just 3 weeks younger than Lainee. Perfect!
About 19 weeks- It's a BOY and his name is Jace!
Lainee's new thing is to take every stuffed animal off
the shelf, put them in a pile with her blankets and "snuggle everybody."
Lainee had a birthday and a party!
(more to come on that)
Play dates and swimming at Whitney Ranch pool
with Carly and her son Will,
Dayna and her son Harrison,
Kris and her daughter Emma,
and of course Janel and her daughter Sophie.
Will, Emma, and Sophie are all within
a few months of Lainee's age. FUN!
All of these girls have husbands in Garen's class
and they are kind of all study buddies so
this is our little "clique."
(There's also Shane's wife Katelyn but
Katelyn is cool and has a day job so she's
yet to be pictured, but we love her too.)
Chillin' and playin' at the cool splash pad
not too far from our house.
Our new besties. Janel and Sophie.
We do get to see Garen every evening for dinner.
Also have been to a AAA baseball game and some other
fun stuff but for some reason we never have the camera
and when we do, it dies.
Garen has been kind of stressed sometimes but
is a very consistent studier so he has done REALLY well
on all of his tests and quizzes so far.
I'm so proud of him and his hard work!
