Busy, busy....

We spent our 4th of July down in Blanding for our yearly family reunion and had a blast! Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I'll get pictures from my dad and post some later... Averie loved being able to run free and see all of the cool animals that Grandma and Grandpa have in there yard. It was great seeing so much family and catching up with everyone! We enjoyed good food, good conversation and fun activities!

I've been trying hard to keep the girls and myself really busy so that we don't think about Brandon so much, you would think that we would get used to him being gone but it only gets harder! Definalty not easier! The girls miss him so much, and every night Averie prays for him to "come home tomorrow please!" But luckily we get to talk to him every day and tell him all that is going on with us and hear how he is doing. Right now Brandon is in Long Beach CA and on Saturday is leaves there to go to Yuma AZ, then he will be home MONDAY!!! We can't wait, I don't think it could come soon enough. Brandon is doing really great in his training, he is working in the Simulator right now and on Sunday he will get to fly the Brasilia for the first time, he is ecstatic... and I am so excited for him to finally fly that big airplane! His simulator hours have been pretty crappy though they were from 8:00 pm to 3:00 am, I cannot even imagine being able to preform well at those hours of the night. But I guess they learn to adjust accordingly right?

Today I had Activity Days at my house, we baked and decorated cookies and then delivered them to a few people in the ward that the girls thought could use a nice surprise! It was really fun and I love those girls so much!!

Tomorrow I'm going shopping with my mom, and Saturday is Jaliz's (my cousin) bridal shower so I've got a couple of more days to keep busy and then my hunny will be home. Thank Heavens!!
