It's been a while.......

I have not posted in almost two months! Where does the time go? A lot has happened in the two months where do I begin? May was pretty uneventful, we played, we swam, hung around the house. In June we had the opportunity to go home to Idaho for two weeks. It was a really fun trip minus the twenty-eight hour drive there and back! I have no idea what we were thinking driving that with two small kids. Both Kallon and Kate had their moments but overall they both did really well. That is not a drive that I want to do again anytime soon...blah! While we were home we celebrated Kallon's birthday, my baby boy turned three! I cannot believe that he is three, it makes me feel so old. I keep thinking there is no way that I am old enough to have a three year old and a seven month old baby. The closer I get to thirty the more depressed I become, only four more years YIKES!!! Anyway we had a fun little birthday party with the families at my parents house. I made Kallon a construction cake which I think he liked, I know he enjoyed eating it. He got some really fun presents from his grandparents and auntie Katy and cousin Stratton. We did a lot of hanging out, playing tennis, golfing(yes, I attempted but it was not pretty), visiting friends, and some boating. It was so fun to see everyone, I miss you all already. Also while we were home Cory received a phone call one morning from the Texas application service telling him that he will be considered a resident now!!! Wahoo! Cory didn't start working here in Texas until mid October so we thought he wouldn't be considered a resident until then but now we don't have to deal with all that. Things are really starting to fall into place and I am starting to see the blessings we have received since moving to Texas. I am glad we decided to listen to the promptings even though we really didn't want to move here. Now it's really starting to grow on us, all except the heat that is. Kate is now seven months and is as big as ever! At her six month appt she weighed in at 19lbs. She. is. HUGE. Her top front teeth are just about to break through, when they do she will have four teeth. She is growing like crazy. Kate is finally rolling over all the time but she can't sit up yet, too many fat rolls. She is cute though. I love my chunky baby. Oh and I have to post this because I don't want to forget it. This was Kallon's prayer last night. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, thank you for Daniel on his mission, thank you for my parents and baby Kate, please bless my dad to turn his applications in before work and bless him to go to medical school, help me to sleep tight, name of Jesus Christ Amen. It was so precious, I love him too, most days:) It just goes to show how much they really are listening.
