Summer Fun

I feel like we have had a crazy summer. I don't know if it is because we have a baby now and life is just crazy in general, but it seems like we have been going non-stop lately. Here is a brief list of our summer highlights:
*We have gone to Boise a few times to visit family and friends.
*We went to Utah for a family reunion over the Fourth of July weekend.
*JJ went to the doctor for his four month check-up (and more shots). He is healthy and doing well.
*I got bangs and I love them!
*JJ began sleeping through the night at 3 months. (This was HUGE for me.)
*We celebrated JJ's first Father's Day.
*We celebrated JJ's first Independence Day.
*Jared finished another semester (this happened yesterday)!
*We went to the drive-inn last night to celebrate the last day of school.(JJ slept through it all!)
*I started nannying again for the same family (I get to take JJ, so it is awesome)!
*JJ is four months old, weighs 15.5lbs and is 26.75in long.

It seems like we are never home and our house is always a mess. There are usually laundry piles all over the couch, our bed, and JJ's floor. I am beginning to accept that it will probably be like this for a long time. The important thing is that we are all happy and that we are living life. I am happier than I have ever been and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family!

JJ and his Great-Grandpa Stanger.
JJ at the drive inn last night. JJ's first time in a swing at the park. He LOVED it!
JJ with his cousin Connor. They got matching outfits for the 4th and they both looked so cute!

Hooray!

Jared said the best thing yesterday: "I will graduate in two more semesters." We had talked about his graduation plan before, but now it sounds really soon! There are so many things that I love about Rexburg, but there is an equally long (if not longer) list of things I do not like. We have had a lot of fun here, but it will soon be time to start a new adventure, and I can't wait!
