So a lot has happened this summer...and I haven't blogged about one single thing! I am just going to apologize now that some of these pictures were taken a couple of months ago, but I will be so mad at myself if I don't do a quick recap on the past 3 months.
We blessed Ty on the 4th of July. He was only a month old and was an angel all day. Its funny I was so nervous that morning it felt like I was going to be the one blessing him! Dan did a great job and Ty was so cute, it seemed like he knew it was his special day.
We were able to see a lot of family that came down to visit. We had a lot of BBQ's and late nights of 3-13 and Ticket to Ride. Of course we made it to the annual Seven Peaks get together (even though Ty was only a few weeks old) I was able to get a few rides in, though every time I ran back to make sure he was okay :)
Boating was a lot of fun this summer! I was actually dreading it, but I underestimated my son! He loved being on the boat! I wasn't able to do much behind the boat this year, but Dan was awesome on the wakeboard and surf board as usual. I am learning to have fun by watching other people experience fun...now I am really starting to sound like a Mom!
My sister came to visit right after I had the baby. She was 35 weeks pregnant and drove 10 hours with her two other kids, she has always been the best sister and greatest supporter! Unfortuanetly I didn't get any pictures when she came the fist time, but I did get some the last time she came! This is Ty and his younger cousin Jake, they are 7 weeks apart! Can you tell which one is older and younger? They are basically the same size.
We had a Family Reunion on my moms side in Fairview. It was so fun to see everyone, relax, play card games first thing in the morning while eating breakfast, and continue to play til 2am the next morning. The weather was beautiful, except for our lake day, figures. Ty just loves being outside, I love how his hand is on Dannys shoulder.
The last trip we took was to Washington D.C. We went for a twin study that we have been apart of for the past 8 years. They paid for the flights, hotel, food, and even paid us for the testing we did! This was our group. Six of us siblings were part of the testing. I am not going to share much about the testing but I will just say that I am a HORRIBLE test taker and I am sure the people that tested me were trying so hard not to laugh.
We were able to go to most of the sights and museums, at least the ones that everyone told us to go to. I LOVED seeing the Declaration of Independence, it was actually a very spiritual experience to see. The Holocaust Museum is something I will never forget, everyone should go.
Having Ty was a lot of fun, but I don't think I will ever take a baby on a trip like that again. It was too much being nervous on the airplane and praying that he wouldn't cry, taking him down to the dirty metro and trying to keep him covered from the infectious diseases floating around everywhere, just being out of my element with a baby was pretty stressful, its a good thing I had my family with me to help out.
And that is it! Pretty quick and simple. My boys are getting pretty bored with me so I am gonna end this before they fall asleep on me again.
