Some Summer Fun

So these last couple of weeks have been very busy ones for us. A lot of fun things and some not so fun. For the last week we were able to go to Missouri to visit family. We had such a great time. For my memory's sake I will go through it day by day.
Friday and Saturday: We drove all through the night Friday and got there around 1:00 pm on Saturday. Talon was a champion on this drive. He slept almost the entire 16 hour drive. When we got there we visited with family for a while and that night had a dinner gathering and went to bed because we were still so tired from our long drive.
Sunday: We went to church for Sacrament meeting then decided to go to Adam Ondi Ahman after that and see the church site there. That was a lot of fun for me to see and learn more about. We had everyone over to the house that afternoon and hung out there and had great food and great company.
Monday: We got a bunch of Josh's sisters and their families together and went swimming all day. And had a BBQ that night.
Tuesday: The girls all decided we wanted a break from kids and husbands and so we got together and had an all day/night sewing day at Josh's mom's quilt shop. We had great fun and I got to learn some things about sewing and quilting. I even made the coolest Halloween table runner. I will have to post a picture when I am finished because I am pretty proud of it!
Wednesday: Josh went golfing in the morning then he and I went into town and did a little shopping. Then that evening we went to a Royals baseball game. This was probably a highlight of my trip because I love baseball so much. It was mine and Talon's first major league game. And this was one of the only times I managed to pull out my camera.
Thursday: Some more golfing in the morning, more sewing, and then a family BBQ that night to send us off. Sarah was nice enough to take family pictures for everyone and she got some great ones of us. I just need to get them from her now. Then started our long long drive home. Not so great this time but we made it and that was the important part.

Other things going on, I got a new nephew Friday morning! His name is Lucas and he is so adorable. I love new babies. Unfortunately though, we had to cut our trip a few days short because my Grandma Christensen passed away. We came back and went to her funeral. The funeral was nice we just sat around and discussed her life. It is sad but we know she is in a better place now. We have some great things coming up to help finish off our summer fun. Can't believe summer is almost over!

Talon fell asleep at the quilt shop all by himself like this!
