Summer Memories

Since many of you have come to expect a post from us once a quarter, we would hate to let you down. In our defense we are comforted by the fact that LeAnne has gone even longer than us. Prepare to be dazzled by the oh-so-exciting lives of the Wellings.

July - We always head out of town for the 4th, this year we decided to stay in Idaho Falls to see the famous fireworks show. We knew everyone went, but we did't anticipate how crazy it was going to be. We found out later that most people camp out all day to resrve the "good" spots. We ended up with the not-so-good spot, the kids were tired and less than impressed so we cut out early and went home to bed. Luckily we had a great block party the next night with some cool (illegal) fireworks that we all enjoyed.

We partied with the rest of the Wellings at the family reunion. Lots of family togetherness and bonding that naturally comes with locking ourselves in a cabin in the middle of nowhere wth no cable, internet, or phone service. The cabin was great and we had lots of fun, thanks to all of LeAnne and Dave's hard work.

August - Ryan and Tiffanie got to go to Las Vegas! The kids had fun with Aunt Beth and Aunt Steph and Grandma Beck. We got to fly down and stayed in a suite at the Ritz Carlton over looking Lake Las Vegas. We have never experienced that kind of living, but we like it very much.

Kamron went back to school and was very excited to go all day because that means she gets 3 recesses. Jaxon started pre-school and we are pleased to announce he is enjoying it very much. I'm not sure how many of you are aware but Jaxon is a preschool drop out, we pulled him out of his 3-year-old class last year. So far he loves it and his teacher says he's doing great.

September - Our baby is 2. I guess it's time to stop caling her "our baby". She had a great day, Tiff's family was able to come up to celebrate with her. Her favorite gift of all is a baby doll Grandma Beck gave her. She will spend all day cuddling and feeding her the bottle, and takes her everywhere we go. It's way too cute.

For those who haven't heard we are having a boy! We are awfully proud we've been able to maintain our pattern. For those of you who have strong opinions about finding out what we're having, nobody asked you. We are currently in negotiations over the name, but figure we still have a while to think about it.

So there it is, we are confident it was worth the wait.
