Butt Load

I've got a butt load of catching up to do!

Well since I last blogged, we got out of the lease of our condo, and left for Canada. This all happened very quickly... we pretty much just made the decision, packed up and left within a week. It was hard not having a house for almost 3 months, but we loved spending lots of time with Grandma and Grandpa Hall and our other family and friends up in Canada for the summer. Jeff worked back on the dairy farm while the kids and I went between a few places trying to not overstay our welcomes anywhere. I am sure my mom was relieved when we left her home for a bit, not that she would ever admit it. Nixon absolutely loves her and just follows her everywhere while asking her a million questions. I was a hard decision deciding to stay in the Las Vegas area. There is a lot of crime that happens here, and that was a big con to staying. There is also no family close, and that is something I really wanted near by, but it is also fun to make our own lives here and see where life takes us. I am all for the adventure and this looks like it will be a fun one! Plus when I get super home sick, its not too expensive of a flight home!

Well this summer, we had lots of ups and downs. We had a close member of the family lose their mother, my sister bought her own house, and we just recently had a new addition (little baby boy Sanders) to the Hall side! Plus my cousin had her first little girl, and other friends had their kids too which we were super excited to meet!

Here are a few highlights of our summer time!

I got to see my long lost friend Paige!!!

Got to hang out with my sister LOTS! Here is an awkward pic at Costa Vida! haha
