I heard on the news the other day that the word staycation was added to the dictionary this year. The definition on dictionary.com is: a holiday in which leisure activities are pursued while staying at one's own home. Perfect description of two weeks of our summer. We wanted to take one last trip before Johnny went on his mission, but with everyone's crazy summer schedules it just didn't work out. So we took a Disney trip in April and then planned a week and a half of activities that we could do close to home in August before he left.
Our first weekend of fun included Brick Oven, bowling, sleepover, Mariokart, J-Dawgs, miniature golf, Inception, shopping, frozen yogurt, and mom's meatloaf.

Monday we celebrated Johnny's birthday with a trip to Texas Roadhouse, some more wii, and dunford donuts.

Wednesday my mom and sister threw me the cutest Winnie-the-Pooh themed baby shower for some old ward and high school friends. Everything was fabulous from the food to the decorations. They even made tigger tails (chocolate covered marshmallow skewers) like they sell at Disneyland (and we always want to buy, but refuse to pay the money).

Friday was Aaron's graduation! He finished class in June and started his new job as assistant principal at Vista Heights Junior High in Saratoga Springs on July 1. We are so proud of him!

Sunday was the big missionary farewell for baby brother John. He did such a great job on his talk and has worked really hard to be prepared to serve a mission. He is super excited (if you can't tell from the picture).

We managed to squeeze in another fabulous baby shower with family, lots of good food, some photo shoots, and quality family time at my parents house before Julia and Jake had to go home and Johnny went into the mtc. We miss them already.
