Our summer so far

It's been pretty busy! We've been going to the water park at the Court Club which is called Splash Down Cove! It opened last year. It's part of our huge gym we belong to. It's so awesome to be able to take the kids whenever we want to and it's already paid for. It's part of our dues. It's so fun!
We left for Utah/Vegas on July 9th for 3 weeks! What a super awesome time we had! I drove with the kids and they did pretty good! Terry came at the end of the trip to drive back with us! We stayed at my best friend Kjerstens parents house. That was probably my favorite part of the entire trip, for me. I adore Kjersten and having her in my life now for 22 years has been a huge blessing! I had an amazing time with her! I wish we lived closer :(
We stayed in Utah for a week and then drove to Vegas and stayed for 2 weeks! We had a great time there too! The kids love being with their "Nana and Papa" and it's fun to see them around them! It was nice to spend time with my parents and my sister. After my brothers passing there is such a void in our family. It's different. I don't like seeing my dad suffer. It's going to take a while.
The kids did swimming lessons with Krista Johnson (Debbie's daughter) and Paige is swimming like crazy and Ty is too! It was hot and so hot there! We went school clothes shopping at Marshall's and I got some great deals :) Yay!
A special part of the trip is when my grandma gave us her 1943 piano that her mother bought. It's beautiful!! I am in love with it! We pulled it in a trailer. The trip home took longer but it's worth it!
Now we're getting ready to go the annual Parrish Family Reunion up at Stoneridge. It's up in Blanchard Idaho. I'm excited to see some of Terry's cousins :)
I can't believe school is just weeks away. Yikes! I'll have 2 kids in school! Omg! I love having these little ones home with me!
There's some fun times ahead!

Hey Tiffany,
I just had a recent SHOCKING death occur in my "family". It was my niece's mother (she would be my sister in law had they not been teenagers when she was born), anyway, I feel like I have had a glimpse a REAL understanding of what you've felt. It is such a deep sorrow. Confusion. You just want to change it, even though you know you can't, it just hurts. You hurt for you, your loved one who isn't here, and the ones they left. It is just devastating. Again, our lives, so different, yet so similar. Im grateful for your faith and sharing your brother's tragedy, it helps strengthen me.
With love,
CHanel
