Simply Sanders

What a busy summer! In a nut shell, here's what has happened so far: reunions, reunions and more reunions, job interviews, lot's of road trips, sister love, a graduation, an attempt at potty training, rattlesnakes, a birthday, cousins, cousins and more cousins, and moving! Here's some pic's to prove that we haven't just been relaxing away our summer ;)

First on the agenda was the Sander's reunion with Kim's family. It was so much fun being able to see everyone again!

These next few pic's are of the few (very few) days we attempted potty training. Azuree actually did really great! But Mommy is the one who needed Azuree to go back to diapers. Life just got so busy that adding accidents and messy underwear to it would have been too much for her to handle at that point...

Big girl underwear, her hat and Daddy's shoes :)

Kiley had a job interview in Vegas and this is the pic I got of Emri when we were waiting for Kiley in the car.

So many road trips!

Azuree is usually pretty good on our trips.

This handsome brother of mine graduated from high school! And now he's preparing to leave on his mission to Russia in July! Whoa!!! When did he get so grown up?!

Layton and Kamron, best friends. My little brothers aren't so little anymore! I love them so much and am so proud of them!

Hip, hip hooray!

My handsome little nephew James was born! Congrats to Christian and Melanie, we love him so much!!!

He has so many girl cousins, poor guy! I'm sure he'll have loads of fun playing house and getting his toenails painted ;)

Oh goodness, the things my hubby brings home from work! Yes, that is a rattlesnake he is holding! (But don't worry, it was dead for this picture.)

We went to Hurricane several times and visited with family. Here's Azuree getting her daddy back for spraying her with the hose :)

We had a Call family get-together at the Nelson's cabin! (Thanks again to Misty and her parents for making it possible and letting us all stay there! It was such a blast!)

I feel so bad because I didn't get very many pic's of that weekend with my family. That just means that I was having such a good time that I forgot to get out my camera, right? :)

Azuree had her 2nd Birthday while we were at the cabin. I brought cupcakes for everyone and Christian helped me make them into...sort of a teddy bear face :)

She got a new coloring book....

...and a new tricycle and helmet! She loved the helmet! She wore it the rest of the weekend!

Next we had another Sander's reunion! This one was with Kiley's parents and his siblings and we were in charge of it this year, lucky us! We seriously had a blast planning it and loved seeing everyone there who could make it and sorely missed those who couldn't.

It was Emri's first time camping

Azuree looked like this pretty much the entire reunion! Such a dirty little girl! She loved every minute of it :)

We shot sling shots for one of the activities

We camped at Three Peaks just 15 minutes away from Cedar City and it was an awesome spot!

These girls took such good care of Azuree! What nice cousins :)

Aaron even came! We loved having him there!

We did some Minute-To-Win-It games

Oh good times :)

The kids got some fun goodie bags

What a fun weekend!

The day after that reunion we started moving! I got a job being the apartment manager for some new student housing here in Cedar named Thunderbird Landing. So we are going to live there and rent out our house. It's going to be an adventure!

In our new place :)

That's about it for our summer so far...and it's barely half way through! Goodness, when did summers get so busy? :)
Now here's just a few more fun, random pics :)
