Every summer my whole life, I have felt like it is way too short and goes way too fast... this summer, it has NOT been the case.  Since we're not students anymore, the fall season is no longer daunting, but the real reason is because WE WANT OUT OF OUR HOUSE!  The time cannot go fast enough, and December cannot be here soon enough.  Everyday is like a week and every week like an ETERNITY!

For those of you who don't know, the City of Logan is tearing our house down next year, so we are moving out in December.  When you know your house is going to be torn down, there is little reason for you to try to keep it up!  Our yard is dead, our home has some issues that won't be resolved, and our renters are THE WORST!  Our house is a duplex and we rent half of it to college boys.  Loud, messy college boys.  Having a rental unit is great for the money and it was a spectacular investment while we were in school... but I'm a big girl now and I want my OWN HOUSE!  I've shared a house with someone else my entire life... I deserve my own house right? 

So, thus drags on the long long torturous months before we can move into our new home.  We are hoping to buy a short sale in Wellsville, but for any of you who have experienced it, the short sale process is grueling.  In the end I hope it works out to get this house in Nov. or Dec. because it truly is the perfect house.  We love everything about it.  Keep your fingers crossed for us!


In the past few (very long) weeks, we have had some good times!  Brylee learned how to use a food processor to grate cheese... it was so fun!
 And we went to the zoo with cousins!  It rained pretty hard while we were there and I didn't want t ruin my camera, so you only get pics of the outside fence.  As far as going to the zoo on a rainy day, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!  The animals were all up and walking around instead of just sleeping.  It was way cool.  I had the most fun of anyone there for sure!
 There is a crocodile behind those cute kids, I promise!
 Brysen learned how to eat real food.  He's a boy alright!  He loves that food!  It's almost hard to get him to drink milk now cuz he has tasted the goods :)
 Bry and Bry are still besties.  Brylee is a really great big sister and always takes great care of her brother.
 Fun games we play... I wonder who likes this more?
 Then we went to bear lake last Saturday.  Just went for a few hours and came home... it was a blast!  We should really do that every weekend!  It's only 45 minutes away!  Brylee and Daddy made a Shellie in the sand (we watched Turtle tail the night before).
 Brylee had so much fun playing in the sand...

And well, Brysen was less impressed.  He snoozed on a camp chair for most of the trip.

This summer may be long, it is so fun.  I love my little family!
