Summer!!!

Wow it's been a while huh? Well lets see what have we been up to. It's summer(duh) and we have been outside quite a bit. We are growing a garden this year. It is actually growing too! That has never happened to me before. We have corn, broccoli, lettuce, onions, peas, carrots, green beans, strawberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, spaghetti squash and zucchinis. We also have 2 cherry, an apple, an apricot and pear trees in our yard so we get lots of delicious fresh food.
Last month Justin had to go to Oklahoma for an Advanced Oilfield Mathematics and Engineering class (ya I'm impressed too) He ended up failing it by ONE POINT! One stinking point. How sucky is that?! So he gets to go back in October. Anyway while he was gone Alexys and I spent a week in Vegas visiting Justins family. They had some fun new toys that Alexys just couldn't get enough of. Namely a trampoline. Her and Domminiq had tons of fun jumping. We also went to the dinosaur park. I didn't get any pictures for those of you who aren't familiar but trust me this park is AWESOME. There is a pond where you can feed ducks and turtles(we found that out when the kept coming up. Nobody knew they were there before) There is a splashy part that is pretty fun. But good laws THE SLIDES. These are the tallest slides I've ever seen in my life. They almost put 7 peaks to shame. I went down a few but got stuck. They are all twisty slides and I have too long of legs. Oh well still fun. We also got to go swimming in Jeff and Mandy's pool. We love to swim so that was pretty fun too. And it wore Alexys out. She napped for quite a while in her bathing suit. We took some cute pics of all 4 cousins together. None of them really wanted to cooperate though. We spent almost the whole time with Nadine and her boys. We just had a ton of fun.
The second week we spent at my parents house. They took us to the zoo! Alexys loves the zoo. She is an animal girl. She was overjoyed when the Tiger looked at her. We went into the little prairie dog holes and one of the cute little buggers tried to climb in with us. It was cute. My moms dog also had puppies. There are 7 of them and they are adorable. When we got there Ashlee handed one to Lex and she says 'Oh I lub them!' All she wanted to do after that was play with puppies. We always have a good time at Grandma and Grandpa's house. (I don't have any pics from my parents as my camera lost its charger. But we go back often so I'll have to upload some from there)
