Summertime

This blog is getting harder and harder to update because we keep adding cameras and taking more pictures. So now we have our regular camera, our nice Nikon, and we are each taking pictures with our phones since we now have pretty decent cameras on them. That’s a lot of uploading and folders and resizing for me. I start school again tomorrow, though, so we may not be taking as many pictures in the next few weeks if I am really busy. I’ll try to keep this up to date as much as possible!
My 3 weeks of summer have been nice. We spent the middle week in Arizona with my parents. Matt was able to make it out, too, which was fun because he hasn’t seen Parker since Christmas. Parker loved saying “Matt” all week and continued to ask “where Matt go?” once we were home. She, of course, was a great traveller as usual. That was fortunate because we had a lot of trouble with delayed flights and extra waiting time this trip. She got plenty of compliments at the ends of flights on being such a great kid.
We had a great time in Arizona and it was hard to come back. It was nice to be able to get up every morning to the beautiful views and then relax outside with some coffee as long as we wanted. It’s always nice seeing family again. The stars were amazing at night and it is a fun place to watch meteor showers. I don’t think there is too much I need to explain regarding the pictures. My dad has built and designed an amazing basement and we all had fun down there at the bar and in the theater. Parker really loved the waterfall at their house and always pulled us all over saying “where wawa go?” There is a really cute video of her watching a video of herself on Jared’s phone. She must have thought she was pretty hilarious. The video she is watching is the one called “pizza face” and is just of her standing around eating pizza.
This past Friday Parker’s school had a teacher’s work day and was closed so I was home with her all day and Brody was here in the morning. They were so cute together and got along really well. They kept copying eachother and following eachother around. They never fought or anything and were great at sharing. Later that day I met Tami and Lauren at the fountains and let the kids play. Parker warmed up to the water after a while and had fun.
I have 4 different photo galleries now for each camera/phone, but the videos are all in a row. They go out of order whenever you get to a different camera.
