so many new things..

Since there seems to be so many things going on in life..

I thought I might just update a bit.

Almost a month ago, my twelve year old brother Dylan broke his leg.

He went camping with his best friend Ben's family..

and while riding an ATV Dylan hit his leg on a metal pole.

It broke in 4 places; 3 breaks on the big bone and 1 on the smaller bone.

Life has been a little bit crazy since.

But he really pulled through and is still recovering!

He will be done recovering in December.

So we have a ways to go, but he is truly a champ!!

This past month, my sweet niece Adelaide turned 1!

I still can't believe she is so big!!

We had a "Lemonade Stand" party that turned out darling!

She had a really good time digging into her cake!

My brother Jake started marching with AF band this summer!

He is playing the tuba and he loves it!

My aunt and uncle, Scott and Nae are finally in Africa!

They have been waiting for two years to get their little boy Adom &

they have finally made it, and are in the Ivory Coast!

I am so excited for them to come home safely,

and I can't wait to meet the little guy!

They seriously deserve getting him beyond comprehension!

I mean, how stinkin adorable is he?

Like I said, so many things going on!!

My cousin Steve (I've always called him Bubba)

has left for college in Chicago!

I'm going to miss him lots!!

Now that I'm home from Ephraim, I get to play with my girls everyday!

All the kids are so fun & I love being with them!!

Finally,

I am just so glad to be home.

I am happy to be spending time with my family.

I've missed them so much!

I start school at UVU this month, and I can't wait!

I'm so excited for the fun, new changes I'm making..

and we will just keep moving forward

and see where life keeps taking me!

Until then..

Love, Erin
