The First Blazing Summer Month and Our New Car

We got a new car!!! Our second car died a little over a month ago and we had been actively looking for and at cars for weeks. We finally found one that had super low miles, only one owner, and was the size we wanted. The only downside was it was in Tucson. We found it online and emailed them and apparently the car had only been on the website for like a couple hours before we found it and we were the first people to show interest! SCORE! It took us about a week to get everything taken care  of, including figuring out the loan situation which was a headache all in itself. On June 3rd we drove down to Tucson to pick up our new car! It's even better than we could have imagined!! We seriously love it! The bad part, the air kinda stopped working the day after we brought it back. We thought it was just because we never really drove anywhere that was far enough away to let the air get cold, and that it was 5,000,000,000,000* outside. It took us about two weeks of dying in the heat to take it in and they told us the compressor was broken. Great. We contacted the dealership and they said if we wanted them to help us at all we had to take it down for them to check it out and they could maybe do 50%. Spencer and Grandma took the car down to Tucson Friday and they said it for sure was the compressor and that it would be a $1500 repair. Uh. Yeah. We don't have even half of that. This is when our second SCORE comes in. They told us that they felt bad and covered the cost of the repair and fixed it that day! PRAISE THE HEAVENS. So we got our car back with AC and one less headache. Now we love our car even more because we have air :).


She pooped in her bed. Took her diaper off. Stood there. And pooped.

She is super into saying "I'm cold" and "Nice and cozy". It's so cute.

Katy was with us for a while and she was sick. We went to Walmart and Brynlee just kept cuddling her trying to make her feel better. 
 I got to throw Whitley a baby shower and it was so fun! We did sports themed for baby Andrew and had tons of yummy snacks and the nastiest looking guess this sweet mess game you will ever see. It was awesome! Whit got tons of cute stuff and now we just have to wait until he makes his debut! I will finally be an aunt!!

The only way I could get her to go to bed the night before was to promise her she could ride the horses at kids club the next day!


 These were while we were waiting at the car place for Grandma Hon to pick us up. She's so silly.



She dragged her chair in from the living room to sit by me while I work :)
 We also watched Ezra, Rigdon, and Lucy one night while Amy took the big kids to a drive in movie. It was crazy! But so fun! They came over at 6:45. We took them all swimming and it was totally fun and not scary, they all had dinner, and then played until 11:45 when they got picked up. I definitely don't want quadruplets though...




 Brynlee + pudding = adorable

We altered this dress for Preston and Jenessa's wedding! It turned out amazing and it is my very favorite dress now!!! :)



 Preston and Jenessa's wedding was so fun...but it has taken me about three days to recover. Saturday morning we made it to the sealing with about one minute to spare before the guests of honor were brought in. It was a beautiful ceremony and I loved being in the temple with family. Afterwards we took pictures outside and that was the worst. It was so stinking hot that we were all drenched in sweat and in just kept pouring from every sweat gland the body has. But we made it! We had the luncheon and by that time my feet hurt so bad I couldn't keep my heels on any longer. There was yummy food, some cute games for the couple, and a sweet video from Hunter that totally made me cry. After the luncheon we went to Walmart to pick up a bunch of stuff! Apparently I was in there for a long time because Brynlee had time to fall asleep and wake up screaming! So no more nap for that day. And Spencer had to get something done for his parents but it wouldn't work at our house so we had to go to his parents to finish it. So no nap for me either! We went to the reception at 6 to take family pictures and were there until after 9. It was really fun! But Brynlee was crazy running around so I was happy when my mom and dad came and offered to take her for the rest of the night! It gave us the chance to get the car done and visit a bit before they brought her back! I kind of took over as director of the reception because we didn't have a mic. and nobody was doing it. I announced the first dance, cutting the cake, and the bouquet toss! It was a pretty reception and we only had once instance of tears where Brynlee got poked in the head by Hayden's boutonniere pin. Twice. Poor girl was so tired and then that. Let's just say she fell asleep on the way home! My feet killed, I was so tired, but I am so happy for these two and it really was a fun day!!!

And guess what folks...I'M CAUGHT UP!! Now hopefully I can stay that way :) I really want to document our lives and this pregnancy as well as I did with Brynlee.
