August 09'


August was a great month packed with lots of family fun before school started back up. We were able to take a vacation to go visit Great Grandparents in St. George, and then Grandparents and aunts up in Denver. It was Alexander's first long car trip (14hr) and he did amazing!!We were able to escape the heat of Az. and have lots of fun visiting with family. In St. George we were able to visit a couple of historic sites, and the lovely St. George temple. Alexander loved hanging out with his Great Aunt Mariann, and his Great Grandparents. While we were there him & Great Grandma had a funny joke that nobody got except for Alexander, she would hold him and he would get all smiley and then just laugh and laugh!! :) We were also able to spend a week in Denver, where we got to go to the park, go hiking up in Colorado Springs, enjoy thunder storms cooler weather and hang out with Papa and Grandma Vavrek, and Aunt Mickey & Aunt Amanda. (I was also able to get Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, which is my favorite soda, unfortunatly you can't find it in AZ anymore) It was great to be able to see everyone, Alexander loved to be there, he especially liked stealing papa's popsicels! At the beginning of August we also were able to visit with some family friends 'The Sinnots' who were visiting from Ireland!(We can't wait to see them again, next time hopefully we can go to their house :) This month ended with Adam starting his 2nd Year of Medical School!! This month also brought The Hunter Family to AZ! We are so excited to have them living close by now!!
