August

August, what a month.

2 weddings and a funeral to say the least. 

I began doing daycare again August 1st.

My brother got married August 5th.

We kind of celebrated our 6th Anniversary on August 8th.

August 11th we spoke in church and that evening my grandpa passed away.

August 17th Kevin's brother got married. 

August 18th was my grandpa's funeral. 

I had the honor of speaking at the funeral. That was a wonderful and rough day. 

(Need to get pictures from people)

 August 21st was Ruby's surgery as well as Zack's 5 yr appt and shots

Wasn't easy but we pulled it off!

Already blogged about that 

Kevin was in charge of our ward campout on August 23rd and 24th.

The kids were in heaven. They had so much fun. 

Made me wish we camped... EVER. 

Well, maybe not.

Much much better than last year. I swear they cried an entire day afterword.

We had a lot of fun even though it rained in the evening.

And Zack got glasses on August 26th.

For some reason his eye appointment was really stressful for me.

I have perfect vision so the eye doctor isn't something I am familiar with. 

We waited a long time, so from the beginning we were anxious. 

The nurse did an exam, and then dilated the poor kids eyes and made us wait for

probably 30 minutes. Zack began to get worried and I could tell he was having 

a hard time. This made me anxious as well. Finally we saw the Dr, but he took forever

trying to get Zack 20/20 vision but wasn't ever successful. Which made me even more

nervous! We set an appointment for 3 months and will have him checked again. 

For now he is loving his glasses. When we picked them up he was so amazed at

what he could see. We walked out of Walmart (ehem, rip off!) and he immediately 

looked up at the mountains and said "MOM, there's poles up on that mountain! 

There's big ones and smaller ones! I can see them!" 

Poor kid. Didn't even know he was blind. 

Zack has been very responsible with his glasses. He hardly ever takes them off. 

I was worried because he got them the day before school started so he didn't

even have a chance to get used to them but he has done really well. 

This is why i'm behind on blogging :) 

We also saw our West cousins somewhere in there. 

Here are some cute pictures from that day
