Whew!

Talk about busy! First off, Dave had a birthday! Me, being the lame wife and having to work, didn't plan much of a celebration. I guess that means I'm gonna have to do something HUGE for the big 30 next year! I did however make cake balls! Ashtyn got him a couple of much needed shirts. We took Ashtyn to the beach for the first time! She loved it! It was kind of windy, but that didn't stop us! I was so busy making sure that I kept Ashtyn covered with sunscreen that I forgot about myself and fried my shoulders!

The next week, I had off of work so Ashtyn and I headed to Idaho! None of my siblings had met Ashtyn yet, so it was fun showing her off! She was such a great baby traveling. In fact, a man on the way back said she was the best baby he'd ever seen on a plane! I swear I get a little taller every time someone comments on my baby girl! My parents flew with me so it made it super easy! We met up with Dave's parents in SLC for lunch before we made the 4 hour car drive. I was so happy that John and Shelley took time to meet us for lunch! Being the great mom I am, I didn't get any pictures :( John took some though!

Ashtyn had a lot of fun meeting her cousins! I was able to see some great friends and spend some time with them. Before heading to Idaho, a week sounds like such a long time to see everyone, but when I get up there, I always wonder where the week went!

I spent a lot of time with my sister Theresa and her baby Maci. It was so fun just hanging out with them!

My nephew Zak got his mission call and waited to take out his endowments until we were there! It was my first time going through the Rexburg temple. It was so great to be able to go through with the family! Ashtyn got to meet her boyfriend Crew! We didn't even set this picture up. They just grabbed hands!
