July

 K, this post is a little out of order but I wrote it and then had to compile my pictures so better late than never!  We had A LOT to update on from July:

Wow July was VERY eventful!

I finished up my jam packed, 7 week, super stressful summer semester at the end of June and was given a Summer vacation (only to start back up with clinicals Aug. 1).

For only having a month of true Summer, boy did we make it a GREAT one!

We went to the annual Oakley Rodeo to celebrate the 4th of July with Carson's family.

We attended the Cook Family Reunion on the 2nd with our usual hit, the huge slip n' slide.

We blessed James and since we had 8:30 church (yes 8:30 IN THE MORNING), we had a yummy breakfast afterward in our backyard with close family.

Our oldest nephew, Zach, got baptized! Way to go Zach!...I'm a horrible aunt and didn't bring my camera, so no pic :(

We said Goodbye to some good friends:

Jeff and Holli Chambers. They will be moving to Missouri where Jeff will attend Med. school. and our other good friends, Josh and Amy (and Ally) Johnson. They moved to Pennsylvania where Josh will attend Physical Therapy school. We are very sad to see these good friends go but are super excited for their new adventures! (sorry, Jeff and Holli.  We couldn't find a pic where we were all together :(

 our friends Amy and Josh (old pic)

AND....

We went on a family vacation with Carson's family to Oceanside, California! Carson's grandparents have a condo on the beach. It was SO much fun! It was James' first time seeing the ocean!

Whew! What an exciting month!
