Washington DC and Trev's Wedding






Gavin and I got to go ALONE to DC this summer to do a little sight seeing, but the main event was Trevor and Michelle's Wedding in the DC Temple. It was so great to be able to spend time with The Curtis' Kids during this week. We went to the Jefferson Memorial, holocaust museum, the Smithsonian, saw the white house, Lincoln memorial and my favorite part....GEORGETOWN CUPCAKES! Did I mention I got the cupcakes for FREE because they lost my order!

To witness a sealing of two people and making the sacred covenant of marriage is one of the greatest blessings! She made a beautiful bride and Trev didn't look so bad himself ;)! They make a super cute couple and we are excited to have Michelle apart of the Curtis Clan!

Grand old time at the Grand Canyon




Can we say MAJOR catch up! We went to The Grand Canyon over memorial day weekend. We had a blast walking the trails and seeing this amazing earth that our Heavenly Father has created. We stayed overnight in Flagstaff. Which of course is always an adventure with six kids in a hotel. The kids swam and I hung out in the hotel room. We got up early in the morning and headed out. We spent several hours at the canyon, then headed to lunch at a place that looked like the Flintstones. The kids loved it! Now we can check the Grand Canyon off our list of places to visit.

Sense of Relief......

We are sad that we aren't making a move but SO relieved we don't have to pack. It was a little blow to Gavin as he wasn't accepted to either schools, but on the other hand, we believe that whatever is suppose to happen will happen. There are some awesome internships next summer that he is applying for.

Things have been crazy around here. The boys have officially made the move to South Carolina. Zoe is at summer theatre camp until next Saturday. Comes home and makes her official move on Tuesday the 3rd of August. Gavin and I are also leaving that day to drive our kids to Utah, and fly out to DC for Gavin's little brothers wedding. We are looking forward to the trip without children, but dreading the drive to Utah. I am then returning to Utah and Gavin is going to Arizona. I will stay up there for a week and this will be my first official drive by myself with the three boys.

Austin is excited about starting 3rd grade and I am hyperventilating that I have a 3rd grader. Drew and Ethan are as funny and cute as they come. We love our kids and are so thankful for each one of them and their sweet little personalities.

Pictures to come of some of the cuteness that surrounds us!!!

He's Going BANANAS!!!!!!


Ethan was sitting in his high chair the other morning and Gavin had given him a banana. I had just woken up and Gavin was on his way out so I wasn't paying too much attention of what was going on. I walk into the kitchen and this is what I found. I guess his one banana just wasn't working for him!

Happy Birthday Drewbee Doo!





We celebrated Drew's Birthday last Saturday. I am running late posting about it. He got a new ride, a super cool quad that we can't seem to get him off of. He LOVES it. We also had a yummy ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. We have turned a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake into a tradition. They always are so yummy and do an awesome job!
It was a pretty low key party because earlier in the week we were in the ER with Ethan as he had his first official Asthma attack. That was a scare. His O2 stats wouldn't get above 87 at the doctors office. So finally we ended up at the emergency room. 3 breathing treatments and a steroid shot later, he was bouncing off the walls! He is doing great but we have to keep a close eye on him.
Gavin also finished up his finals for this semester. I think this was the most emotionally stressful set of finals he has ever had. Especially since these have to really be knock it out of the park, good grades! We are working on the transfer applications and it is such a tedious process that if we can make it through these, there should be no reason they don't accept him into their programs. I am proud of him regardless of what happens. He is such an incredible example to this family.
