Adventures of the Homeless

I refer to August as our homeless month! The last 15 days have been an adventure. Clark is currently living with his brother Rex and their family while he works in Greeley, CO. The boys and I stayed there a few days and then hit the road with our Jeep literally loaded to the brim. Thanks to wonderful family and friends our homeless month has been a blast, I had so much fun socializing I even lost my voice.
Our first stop was Vernal to visit my wonderful Grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins. The boys loved having so many kids to play with. Ethan asked everyone, "who are you? and what are you, a cousin?"



The boys loved scootering and riding bikes on Great Grandma's backyard sidewalks.


On Sunday night Grandma had an ice cream social with the family. 22 of the 30 grandchildren were there, and 15 0f the 16 great-grandchildren. There were 4 little one year olds running around. It was so fun to see everyone!



After a few days we headed to Salt Lake and stayed with my Grandpa Turpin and Nada. The boys loved staying in "the boat house," as Ethan calls it.



We were busy while were there. One day we went to Thanksgiving Point with Kelly and Sara.



Cute cousins only 5 months apart.



We loved hanging out with all of the kids when Matt and Kate got home from school. Caden mostly loved Gabby (the dog) and kept giving her big open mouthed kisses.


We were able to catch up with some of my high school friends and their cute kids again the next day at Thanksgiving Point.


I was so happy to be able to go to my brother James and my sister-in-law Erica's college graduations from BYU. I was thrilled to be able to go without my boys thanks to Aunt Peggy and our wonderful nephews that watched my boys all morning!!!



Erica graduated in Flute Performance



James graduated in Civil Engineering



I found this awesome fat cat for James and it ended up in 80% of his graduation photos.



Can you spot the college graduate?


Not bad for the first part of our homeless month!
