Well SO much has happened since my last post. The first weekend in August Adam and I were able to visit Seattle for little June's baby blessing. June is Aaron and Michelle's baby girl. She is so cute and looks just like her mommy. I have to say that I love Seattle. I just love the greenery and cooler weather. It's funny how I live in San Diego, but crave rain and clouds, haha.
That next weekend Adam's brother Michael came to visit. They drove up for their cousins graduation at Pepperdine in Malibu. We had good food and played some fun games! Bradley had fun with his Uncle Michael too :)

On August 13th I flew up to Utah for Cliff's homecoming! Cliff is home!! He served in Jacksonville, FL and returned with honor. It was so fun to listen to his mission stories and to catch up on life. The night before he got home it felt like I hadn't seen him in 10 years, but now that's he's home it feels like he never left. It was so great to be with all my siblings again and extended family. I was able to see cousins I haven't seen in forever and aunts and uncles, and of course my sweet Grannie. It was fun to see Bradley play with his little cousins too.

Karina - I was up in Utah the same time! I went up on August 17th and my brother came home from his mission on the 18th. Weird.

What a great post! Love all the pictures. We need to get together--me, you and Cindel, once a month at each other's houses.

Adam is the one on the right, though when they came to church one day awhile ago I totally had to do a double take.

Love the pictures! Bradley's smile is so addicting.

Love all the new pictures. And Kera, can I come to your get-togethers too? Ah man, I wish I could. Also, I can tell who is who in the picture just because I know who they are, but, the Express shirt Adam is a dead-giveaway that it's him, since I know you shop for him at Express a lot. Haha!:)

I love all these family pictures! Mission homecomings are the BEST. :)
