Summer Lovin'

It has been a wonderful summer!  It was the first summer where Rod and I had the same summer vacation time off,  now that we are working for the same school district.  We got house projects done, visited family several times and had some fun outings.

To start off our vacation,  on July 4th Avery decided to kiss the hardwood floor during a fall from her little rocking chair.  Her nose and mouth were bleeding and it was very scary.  She had a big cut inside her upper lip so we took her to the emergency.  The doctor said they don't usually stitch this area and it should heal fine on it's own.  Here she is looking like a fighter with her swollen lip.

Avery and I did a Mommy and Me swim class with my friend Allison and her son Luke.  It was fun watching Avery learn to splash and kick and I got really good at demonstrating blowing bubbles in the water.

 We took a trip to Mammoth Mountain with family and friends.  We did a little hiking and some fishing.

Good times just hanging out at the condo.

This was one of our fishing spots.  It was a fun and relaxing trip.

That's just half of our summer adventures.  More to come in the next post.

Snow is finally here

Last week we got snow Wednesday through Friday.  It just kept piling up.

The cars are disappearing. Snow is past the tires.

Power went out one night so we put our refrigerator goods out in the snow so they wouldn't go bad.

  

Saturday it finally stopped and we had beautiful blue skies with bright white snow. Gorgeous.
