Changes, Changes, Changes

August has definitely been a month of many emotions, and changes.

August 10th my youngest sister Amberlee married Trevor Peterson in Panguitch. It was a beautiful wedding & reception. Amberlee was so beautiful, and Trevor looked pretty great too! They are so cute together. It's so wonderful to welcome another Brother-in-Law to our crazy mix of people!

 Cody didn't quite make it to the wedding because of work, but he luckily made it to the reception!

Once again, we made it back home Sunday afternoon and the next morning Jordyn started another sporting event! This time is was a British soccer camp.  The coaches were amazing & Jordyn had so much fun. All the kids from her regular soccer team were there participating, so it was great for all of them.  I can't wait for the regular soccer season to start to see her improvement!

At the beginning of the month, Cody fell off the awning of our house after spraying bug spray up around the windows. He ended up tearing a ligament in his leg/ankle.  He's been wearing a boot & ankle brace for the past couple of weeks.  We are hoping that does the trick, otherwise it's surgery time.  He thinks it's helping  a little bit though. 

Also, Cody's job up at the mine is getting slower and slower. The mine has been talking about layoffs for a couple of months and actually did a few layoffs last week.  His job is secure for only another month or so.  Once we found out that bit of info, he started looking around for something else just in case.  Well, he found a job back in Cedar City, Utah.  It's for a Civil Engineering firm doing what he did in Las Vegas, which is actually what he went to school for.  Yes, that means another move for our family.  I am actually having a really hard time with the idea of moving.  I see the potential positives for the job/move, but I really, really love this area. I love the people, the towns, how much everyone has changed since moving here 2 years ago. I just don't want to go. Jordyn is doing so well here & has even expressed to us that she doesn't want to go either.  It's a tough decision.  I hope it all ends up okay.

July 2012

Sorry for not a lot of detail this post....!

July was a fairly busy month!  We of course started out with Cherry Days on the 4th.

Matching Sisters

The next weekend, the Girls & I met my mom & sisters in Salt Lake to start shopping for Amberlee's wedding! We had such a great time, and got so much accomplished in less than 2 days!

Brieanna had a surprise for us! She transformed herself into the SunDrop girl & gave us quite a performance. It was hilarious!

We got back into Paonia Sunday night, and Jordyn started swimming lessons the next morning!  We decided to have her repeat Level 2 since we really hadn't done much swimming from last years Level 2 until now! It ended up being a really good decision. She improved so much from last year that I am confident that when she is able to get into Level 3 she will do so well!

Jordyn, Emily, & Abby....all girls passed their levels

The rest of the month we stayed busy with friends, bbq's & other fun small activities! It seems like July was over just as quick as it started!
