CRUD!

Dangt--its been 6 weeks since my last blog update! I find myself TERRIBLE at keeping this up--facebook is just 1000 times easier.

Anna had her baptism--Chad's family SURPRISED us and showed up in this Christmas Vacation RV look alike--it was HILARIOUS! SO cool of them to drive down for it--we all came back to our house for Mexican Grub--i got 2 tacos, beans & rice for everyone that was there--seriously the ONLY way to feed 25+ people!!!!! We all went swimming too--even Jon--first time since before he was hurt--good times.

We never made it on a little family vacation this summer--next summer though all of us Hales are renting beach houses in Newport 2nd week of August--that should be fun!

My brother Clay got engaged and will be married 3rd weekend of September so my side of the family is driving to Arizona for that--

School has started for all four girls and it has been J.O.Y.O.U.S!!! It took a couple of weeks for the girls to REMEMBER how to come home, grab a snack, do homework at the kitchen table, do their chore and put their marbles in. Everyone is in full swing of things now though--I had to lay down the law on that one! I am kind of (BIG TIME) nazi about homework.

Well not much of a fun update--im thinking I may have to go to the HIGHS and LOWS of the week--that's an easier task!
