Summer is Flying Past!

How is it already August? I cannot believe how fast this summer has flown by! I know I haven't blogged in a while, so I guess I should add that I am doing very well now. It has been so wonderful feeling good! After my surgery I got an infection in the incision, so that put me back initially. After that everything went well.I spent one week at my parents. Thank goodness they live so close! I couldn't have taken care of my sweet little boy. My mom has had many surgeries, so she taught me a few tricks for when I was alone my own house. I wasn't able to lift Josh for a month, so she showed me how to help him climb out of the crib and up to the high chair. My little boy wasn't happy with me for never picking him up, but he got over it rather quickly once I was able to lift him again.
The rest of the summer has been great! We went on a family vacation to Yellowstone, and had a blast! Matt and I loved the bears, and Josh never got tired of seeing bison. We got a little fishing in, not that we caught anything. It was my first fishing of the season. I really need to get my bro to take me out on the boat. Strawberry is my very favorite place to fish.
We also were able to go to the zoo. Josh loved it, of course. We have discovered since then that in Joshua's mind, Petsmart is every bit as fun as the zoo. And much cheaper! Matt and I went boating with my brother, Michael. Mike told us how bad he was at wake boarding, then proceeded to do tricks I could never even dream of doing! I guess that's not saying much since I can't even get up on water skis!
Matt and I have been fixing up our bedroom this last month. As soon as its done I'll post pics. I'm so excited for it! Until then, we have our bed on the floor of the basement. Well, guess I'll finish by posting some pics. I haven't downloaded our Yellowstone trip yet, so I'll try and do those pictures fairly soon.

Josh loves helping when we do yard work



Matt sharing a snow cone at a Real Soccer game. Matt loves soccer, and Josh loved doing the wave!

My "big helper" took out all his wipes, diapers, and brought his toys and began stacking everything!

I love rocking with Josh in our rocker before bed.

We went to the Manti Pageant this year. Josh was good for the first hour, then we left and beat all the traffic.

My handsome little boy now loves combing his hair.

This is our temporary bedroom in the basement

I checked on Josh during his nap and found this. Don't worry, after I snapped the picture, I uncovered his head!
