July

 Where did July go? July was so busy I can't believe it's over. We went to St. George for the Fourth of July which was crazy.... One because it was a five hour drive with a five week old.  He actually did so great and we only stopped twice, two because it was 105 degrees on a cool day and 90 at night.  The girls mostly stayed in, talked and watched movies. We shopped a little and got our nails done. Stedson is such a good baby. He is so tolerable of outside elements.  The reason we went to this terribly hot place was because Travis who is Chase's youngest brother was leaving on a mission that next week, and their sister lives in St George.  So we brought the party to her.  The boys of course went dirt biking everyday except the last day they went mountain biking which sounded just as intense as dirt biking.

The next week we just spent lots of time with Trav before he left.  Travis left on the 10th to the Mission training center in Provo.  I went to go drop him off with the family... It was not very fun. I'm definitely way more emotional than I was before I had a baby.  I cry at everything now.  Weird.  Anyway Travis is going to be serving in the Oslo, Norway mission and will be speaking Norweigan.  He says the language is pretty hard, but he's getting it slowly.

The next couple of weeks we were strictly dedicated to the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo.  Chase was working a ton because his dad is on the committee that puts the rodeo together.  All their hard work paid off and the rodeo turned out great.  Stedson had a great time at his first rodeo.  He went to all five nights.  He was a trooper, he even had his own all area pass with his name on it.

Lastly, we are supposed to be moving this month.  We were supposed to be moving to Logan to go to Utah State University because Chase is doing Mechnical Engineering and Weber State in Ogden only has a pre- engineering program.  So he did everything he could do there.  We both looked for jobs up there but it is a college town and a lot of the jobs are minimum wage which is very difficult to support a family when we both only work part time.  We decided that we would stay in Ogden and Chase would commute with his brother Karson who is also doing mechanical engineering.  Then I can keep my nanny job which is great because I can bring Stedson with me.  And Chase will continue to work for his dad. We just moved in with Chase's parents over the weekend so we don't have to sign a new lease.. then we'll see how one semester of commuting and decide what to do from there. New adventures!
