Summer is here!!!

Remember when Summer was EVERYTHING when you were a kid? The day's of sleeping in, playing outside ALL day, and not having a care in the world? Well, even though Preston and I go to work mon-fri and Preston is in school most nights... It's stilll... Summer! I am excited. I love the summer holidays, the BBQ's all the camping we can get in. The warm summer nights. The late night ice cream or slurpee run, being porch monkeys, swimming. I guess for a full time worker and a husband who is in school and work full time, we have some pretty fun summers! We're planning lots of hiking and camping and bbq's and have a day planned for Raging Waters (thanks to mom for working for Jet Blue and getting us in for next to nothing with a free lunch included!). We're headed to Bear Lake in a couple weeks for a weekend of camping, swimming and the most awesome couple ever... Shawn and Katie. And you know what else is fantastic? It hasn't hit 90 degrees yet! Even though I hope it hits it by the time we go to Bear Lake! We have lots of fun things planned! To start it off... We had a party to send off my cousin Josh who is now at boot camp for the Marines!!! I can't believe it. I'll miss him like crazy. We have gotten really close the last couple of years. Before he was just the annoying little cousin who ran around with my brother bugging the heck out of us girls! But I love Joshy! And he'll do great. I can't wait to hear from him! I'm sure he's getting yelled at and had probably done hundreds of push up's by now! Here are a few pictures of his going away party! He'll be doing 13 weeks of boot camp. He's stationed in California.Here I am with Josh!!
The annoying boys who would drive us CRAZY! These two have been best little buds pretty much their whole life! I love these two SO much!
Me and my baby Cade!
Jessica and myself with a some weirdo in the background!
Nichole and I. Like Josh and Chris, we have been best buds pretty much our whole lives! But we never annoyed our brothers. Right?? haha

Well, as it's getting darker by the minute outside and the thunder is going crazy and the wind is going to blow out my windows. And it's starting to down pour.... another thing I love about summers. The summer rain storms! I'm off to my couch to either read a book or watch a show.
