June 2011

I can't believe how fast summer is speeding past! Already July! We didn't do a whole lot for June but it sure went fast. Kyle returned to Arizona June 2. He had a slight worry about his diploma which could have caused him to return to Iowa for school for another month, but all turned out and his diploma should be in the mail any day. He moved right across the street! He's getting a good deal on a three bedroom house that some very good friends and adopted grandparents are renting him. We will miss our friends. We thought it would be awkward to see him move in but all seems to be going well. He has made it his little home already and just bought furniture. We had to get vanilla wafers for him to keep there for Autumn because the lady Joyce always had them for her. Kyle is still at Quick Trip until he finds another job in his field.
Rachel is also still at Quick Trip and is planning her birthday trip to Disneyland in two weeks. Kyle was so nice as to give her his old car. She paid for a friend to fly out to Iowa and he drove it back along with Kyle and his tuck and she will keep the car. Nice brother!
Karen wants a job and is looking other wise she helps out with Autumn and hangs with her friends.
Autumn is still a hand full. She is in swimming lessons and loves it. We are still looking for a good friend for her to play with but until then she has her older siblings to occupy her. We have been doing summer movie fun, 10 movies fore $7! So every Wednesday we have a movie. She is into Despicable Me now and has seen it so many times! She says the funniest things and keeps us laughing. She kept her ears covered the whole drive over and up until they started the fireworks. It was funny seeing her walk with her hands over her ears and once they started she says " see they are not so loud, they are beautiful".
Jack has been riding his bike to work three times a week even in this heat! Been saving gas money and with me not working! Hopefully July will slow down and we will get some rain.
