Our 68 Days of Summer So Far....

So, as you can see I’m a little behind on blogging this summer so… Here we go!

We found out in February that Jeff was getting laid off from his job. Not really what you wanna here right after you get engaged and about to become a family… He searched and searched in Utah for a new job and after lots of praying we decided that Lovell was the best place for our family right now. My dance concert was May 14-15 and my parents went down and helped us pack and load the trailer and made it to the last showing of my concert Saturday night and then we all headed North Sunday morning. We miss Utah and our home but we are grateful to be where we are right now and hope that we can get things settled around here and go from there!



The first week of June Jeff and I were able to attend the Annual Cali trip with our friends. This is the third year and probably the funnest (yes funnest…) yet. We rent a beach house a few blocks from Huntington Beach and stay for a week and have a blast! (See pics J)



Carsyn was able to play T-Ball this year and had a great time. Of course he loved when he scored home runs! He and his cousin Makayla played on the same team and they were lucky to have their dad’s Jeff and Kevin to coach them. Let’s just say it was a learning experience for the dads as much as the kids. Hehe


This year I was asked to be a can can girl for Lovell’s Days. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and it was really fun. We have been in 3 parades and have one more this weekend. We also performed around town and in the Follies.




My little brother married the love of his life in the Salt Lake City Temple on July 2nd and we had the privilege of being there with them. It was awesome and we’re super happy for them! We made a reunion out of it with my immediate family (minus Trevor and Emily who were unable to attend. Apparently London is too far away to travel ;) I don’t blame them and we missed them!) We all went to 7 Peaks and Lagoon and stayed in a hotel together one night. It was way fun to be with everyone, especially since it doesn’t happen very often.


Then two weeks later we went back down to Utah for Jeff’s family reunion. His mom’s side-The Greenburg’s! Can you believe it’s been 20 years since they’ve had a reunion?! It was definitely time. We had a blast and I was able to meet most of his family and share lots of memories. We stayed at a resort in Midway, UT that was absolutely beautiful. Thanks again Mom Samson! We spent A LOT of time in the pool, visiting with family, and going to Lagoon again. Carsyn LOVED Lagoon! He was just barely tall enough to ride all the big rides and we couldn’t keep him off of them! That’s my boy! J We had a great time, and Carsyn slept about 90% of the 8 ½ hour drive home if that means anything!





So, that about sums up our summer so far, stay tuned for more to come! (I promise to be better about it…)
