it is O-FISH-ALLY summer.
but poor everton, i don't take him outside as much as i should due to my horrific allergies lashing out the minute i step out. but still, summer is my favorite season. i love the heat, the tan lines, and the swimming we try to go out and do.
at the end of may, erin came with me to bunco and the theme was the 80s. not having grown up in the 80s i took to the web to teach me about some 80s fashion. i found the leather jacket at DI for $10! SCORE!
my mom, erin, and i then went to slc on the 13th of june and met up with my dad's best friend and his fam.
then the next day, friday, brett, the kid, and i, headed down to richfield, ut for a family reunion on brett's side.
it was supposed to be a camping reunion, but i opted for the "glamping" route AKA we stayed in a hotel. hey, there were lots of other family members doing it too!
it was actually nice just hangin out outside chatting it up with brett's family, my allergies didn't act up and the weather was glorious. and pretty sure everton's dreams were coming true, he got to play in the mud, dirt, and rocks for 2 days.
he's sort of a loner though. he mostly played in the dirt and rocks than with the other kids.
towards the end of the reunion they flooded the little field and the kids had a heyday playing in the pseudo pond, except for everton. he was nammy pammy about getting into the water without his shoes, which were shoes that i didn't want to get wet. sighhh maybe i turned him into a germaphobe. or as my nephew likes to say, "he needs his man card taken away."
one of my nephews gleefully getting dirty.
some of my cute nieces and i. seriously LOVE these girls.
then later that saturday evening, on the way back home, we stopped by byu at "the wall" where erin and her band, ahoy, captain performed. i seriously love watching her sing. she blows me away with her voice. she used to annoy me when we were younger (let's be real, she still does) but i'm just so proud of her.
here's one of their songs and yes, that is TOTALLY me screaming her name, embarrassing her with no shame.
then when the show was over we scooted back up to tooele and we were almost home when we got a phone call from travis telling us that kyla's in labor!! holy crap, we were almost home! well, because it was getting really late and we had been driving all day, we continued on home. but my mom and erin were still in provo so they were at least able to shoot down to cedar city in a few hours. alas, they missed the birth by an hour. they got to meet this little squishy though!
baby james fox cecil
erin sent these pics to my phone. i still have yet to meet him!! and i'm just dying to.
and the next day was father's day. everton and i got our favorite gentleman some new ties. perhaps it's cliche to give ties but lately brett's ties were driving me nuts. he needed some new pieces.
nuts for nutella.
and i just thought you'd like to see this pic super enlarged, cuz it's hilarious.
