SuMmEr!

Summer has been extremely crazy around our house. I've had my share of photography bookings (which I love). It hasn't been too busy but busy enough. I love it. Matt has been working for Orbit Irrigation where he has been promoted and will be continuing after the summer is over. He heads back to good ole' Weber University in the Fall where he will be starting on a communications Electronic Media degree. I really think he is going to enjoy most of this degree. However, he absolutely hates school. It will be hard being away from each other so long. We really aren't good at it. Hopefully we can figure schedules out and adjust to make it easier on Matt and Jaxson and I. We're trying to make it fun for everyone and are still not so great at the positivity. (That would mostly be me I'm awful) Jaxson is all over the place and a load of fun. We've had an awesome summer taking him to baseball games and parades. He loves everything. He is getting really good at baseball. He can bat amazingly for a kid under 2 and he catches great and he can definitely throw. Matt and I have been surprised at how fast he picks it up and how much he likes it. I guess it runs in the genes eh grandpa? The heat has had its ups and downs for us. I love being able to take Jaxson for walks but with my skin type we can't stay out too long with out loading on the sunscreen. Our backyard is fun too but we live on a pretty busy street and one side is not fenced off. I would fence it but the house isn't ours. So, we have a hard time enjoying the outside when we are home all day but we do what we can. Jaxson is absolutely in love with the water. If it is around anywhere he will be wet and quickly. He has learned how to use our hose and it is funny but messy. We love it though.
This year has also had some rough patches. Both Matt's Grandfathers have passed away and My grandmother in the past six months. It has been hard but we have learned that things happen for a reason from many other experiences in the past two years and have decided that maybe it is a wake up call to us. We need to prepare ourselves for the future.
Lots of good news has arrived as well My best friend Tisha just had a baby boy last night (yeah friends with babies!!) and my sister is pregnant with her third! How exciting! Well we hope all your summers have been adventurous as well. Happy 24th!
