WOW!

So I have been trying for the last hour to post a whole bunch of pictures but my computer is so slow I gave up so here's one and a post about what we've been up to! Hopefully I can get to a faster computer and post all of them! We have had a busy and fun summer so far and I just want to tell my Mom and Dad how much I love them and am so thankful that Macee and I were able to spend so much time with them! I didn't think it would be so hard to leave but it was and I have missed being around them! Macee had so much fun playing on the bed with Grandpa and going to see the dogs and chickens and having Grandpa chase her around! Grandma had so much fun giving Macee Vaseline for her lips 100 times a day and playing and going shopping. Macee loves and adores you! She walks around the house a lot and says "Mama, Mama" like she's looking for her Grandma! We miss you guys so much already and are so excited to be a lot closer! While we were in Lehi we went to the zoo and to Thanksgiving Point. Macee absolutely loved all of the animals and going with Carson! (thanks Val!) We did all of the fun things for Lehi Round-Up Days and it is unanimous that Macee is either going to be in a Marching Band or a Queen that rides on a float! She had so much fun watching the parades and she would dance and sing and wave at everyone and of course she loved all the candy! We played outside in Grandpas sprinkler and her pool and went on walks and played with all of the other grandmas and grandpas!
We moved into our house here in Ephraim on Monday and we still aren't completely unpacked thanks to such a helpful 1 year old!! It's not the greatest house but it will due until we can find something more permanent!(pictures to come when I can get them to work!) I have to admit that I have struggled a little bit being here, I think I have been a little home sick since I was with my family so long and am missing them already, a house not as nice as our other house, being in a new place with only Wal-Mart, just getting settled, allergies again bad and Macee has them bad too, I am such a whiner but it's been hard!! I asked Roger for a blessing the other night just to give me strength and comfort and it has helped me a lot! I am so thankful to him and for being a worthy priesthood holder! I am excited to go to church on Sunday and hopefully meet some people my age and make some friends that have kids too so we can get together and play!
We are going to a couple parades tomorrow for the 4th and are going to watch fireworks so we should be busy! Hopefully I can get my pictures to work since blogs are boring without them! Tootles!

I think it was just as hard for us to see you go as it was for you to leave. We miss you already! Why do you think we want to come down on Saturday?? LOL!

Oh Holly it is so hard to move. Even if you are so happy to do it. I am still having a hard time after almost 2 years away from Ephraim. Are you renting in Ephraim, did you buy, what's the scoop?

We miss you too! I went to the dinosaur museum the other day and was looking for someone to go with and we wish you could have come! I am coming down to Fairview this weekend, maybe we could squeeze you guys in.. I'll let you know. I 'm not really sure of all of the details!

Believe in Happily Ever After and it will come true!
