how we spent our summer...

first we moved into a new house! We needed a bit more room with our 4th on his way~ it was kinda hard moving while pregnant but thankfully I have a great, hardworking husband and an amazing mom who came all the way from California to help. It was definately a good decision!

Then Bremen left for a week for high adventure camp in North Carolina with the young men. He loved being young men's president for a bit, but was recently put in the bishopric. Surprisingly, it hasn't added too much to his workload, although it has too mine! I miss Bremen keeping the kids occupied during sacrament meeting with his drawings and I'm bracing for how it'll be with a new baby added onto the situation!

Bremen's birthday..... it's fun too see the kids get so excited about giving gifts.

Pioneer Day.....

We also took a short trip up to Washington D.C. It was fun getting to see friends but I didn't take any pictures :( We also went to the American History Museum (which was closed the whole time we lived there), that was really interesting! Ooh, and I was able to find a Mimi's Cafe on the way, one of my favorite restaurants from California, so good! And I got to sneak in a shopping trip to my favorite stores~ Ikea, Nordstom, Janie & Jack, and Kirkland's. Unfortunately on the way home our expedition had a major breakdown on the side of a highway in the middle of the night 30 miles from the nearest town. After a week and a half of being without it, it's finally back and the kids are back in school.....life is good ;)
