Summer Update...

Where to begin... Josh and I have loved spending lots of time with each other this summer. We have been fortunate to do a little bit of traveling the last couple of weeks. First we went to Arizona to visit Josh's family and had such an amazing time barbeque-ing with everyone (Thanks Bev) and spending time with Josh's sister and her two boys. We are so excited to visit Arizona again because we will have two new additions to Jenny's family (twins). While we were in Arizona, we took Gavin and Corbin to Toy Story 3 and even played a little bit of wii. We were so sad we were only there for a couple of days. Here are some pictures from our trip.
Gavin, Corbin, Me, Josh...

Thanks to my Grandpa Romney, Josh and I headed off to Vegas for our annual married cousin's trip. My grandpa has always loved to take all of my cousins on a trip every summer. We have gone to several places over the years. Not too long ago, he decided to fund a trip for all of the married grandkids to get away once a year for a honeymoon. This year happened to be Vegas...THANKS Grandpa Romney!!!

After Vegas, Josh had to go back to Houston to work, but I went to Utah for a few days to visit family and friends. I somehow managed to take zero pictures while I was there. haha ;0( I was able to see my friend Andrea and her new baby Olivia. I also saw my friend Chelsey and her husband and daughter (Kylee) who moved to Australia over a year ago and happened to be in SLC at the same time as me. I also spent time with other friends and my family of course.
I got back in town on July 3rd, just in time to celebrate the 4th of July with my hubby. We headed off to Hermann Park to hear the Houston Symphony play patriotic songs and watched an amazing firework show afterwards. It was a blast.
