Little get away

My Grandparents have a cabin on Mt. Graham and they were so nice to take us this weekend with them.  We got things ready for the big annual Labor Day celebration next week where hundreds of friends and family will be there. So, I figured I better take Colton before all the craziness since he had never been before.  He loved it because 1. he loves to be in the mountains and 2. it was a lot cooler! It's always a tradition to pick raspberries and I'm glad they are in season now so we could go! Colton had never done this before and I think he really enjoyed it.  He sure did pick a lot more than me!  I just kept eating mine as I was picking so I didn't end up with very much.  Darryl was up there too and he came to visit the one day and started talking to Colton a little bit and they soon found out that they both served in Chili.  So of course they talked about all the places there and where they went for about half an hour!  But I'm glad they found something in common, I will always remember that Darryl went to Chili on his mission.

Picking raspberries for the 1st time!

Grandma and Grandpa have this little friend right outside the cabin that loves to come and visit!

hot hot HOT

We have only been here for 2 days and we are both dying of heat!  Yes, I love the heat but when it is 95 degrees in our apartment I'm not so happy!  I wanted to unpack everything and get things organized but it was just too hot.  We slept in the front room on our blow up mattress because it was a little cooler there than in the bedroom.  We had three fans on us and the little window ac unit.  Well we were so miserable we would just stay at Grandma and Grandpa's all day.  We finally called our landlord and told her about our ac not working and she said we could buy a new one at Home Depot.  So we go to Home Depot and pick one that would fit and come back home to take the old one out. Little did we know that this was going to be a bigger process than we thought.  Thankfully the neighbors were home so they helped us.  I only stayed for a little while and then I went to Grandma's where it was a little cooler.  It took Colton all afternoon to get the ac unit in but now we have cool air so we are much happier!  Lets hope this ac unit doesn't break on us anytime soon.

Move to Arizona

Colton and I will be in Arizona for two years going to the Nursing program at Eastern Arizona College.  We both got accepted earlier this summer and were debating whether or not we should go but it seemed like one day we just packed everything up and we were gone!  I had to retake the nursing entrance exam so that really determined if we were going to be moving or not.  I finally passed, after the third time, so we decided Nursing is what we wanted to do.  The move here was so long.  It took us about 15 hours to get here but I'm glad we are finally here!  Our apartment is small and we have a lot of stuff but good thing we have a little storage shed that we can keep a lot of our boxes.  Unpacking everything is going to take awhile but it will get done.  I'm excited to have my own little place to call my own and to decorate.  This is going to be a fun little phase of our life.

This is only a small fraction of all our stuff.  We are going to have a lot to do!

Bowling

I went bowling with Kali and the boys and they were so fun to watch! The boys would get so excited for their turn and they always had to be right there by each other.  Boston was always up with Jaxton when he was bowling and same with Jaxton when it was Boston's turn.
