August.

It's only the beginning of August, and it's been a BUSY month so far. Ross was out of town for a couple days last week. Thanksgiving Point started the 2 buck Tuesdays deal, which we LOVE. So I took the girls to the farm last Tuesday. I was thinking Claire would love the animals, and being able to pet and feed them. However, right when we got outside, a big cow took to Claire immediately. He came over right up to her and kept mooing at her. We'll just say it terrified Claire and she lost all interest in seeing more animals. I still wanted to look, so I ended up carrying both girls walking around to see all of the animals. They had free tractor rides and horse drawn rides. Those ended up being her favorite. I can't even count how many times we went on the rides, but Claire loved it. All in all it was a good day.



Ross' mom and brother Wesley arrived Tuesday night, and Ross returned LATE Tuesday night. Or maybe I should say Weds morning. I picked him up, and we didn't get home until 4 AM. It was pretty brutal. Thursday morning Ross' Dad and two sisters arrived and the graduation festivities began! We had a barbecue outside our house with lots of cousins, and family. There was a lot of great food, and we had fun visiting. It made it so much more real and we're excited for December when Ross actually graduates.





Ross' youngest brother will be staying with us for a couple weeks, and his oldest sister will be attending BYU in the fall, so she'll be staying with us as well! (Until move in day) It's a party at the Loveland's and Claire's loving it! We are too. It'll be a fun way to end summer.
