I haven't updated my blog in a while so here is a quick overview of what's been going on the last month-ish.
I just got back from girls camp. I'm currently serving as the 2nd Counselor in young women's. It was really fun but exhausting, and it seriously made me consider if I want to have any girls of my own. I think I handle boys better :) Steve and I designed the hoodies. I thought the colors the girls picked out made it look like someone sneezed on it but the girls loved them. 
My brother Jace came to visit a few months ago before he left for Europe. I forgot to post it so here it is! My two favorite baldies.
Our family and Steve's mom, Robin, and sister Jessica went up to Oregon last month to visit Steve's Grandpa, Uncle Vaughn and Aunt Debbie and Susan. We were really excited to take our new van until about 4 hours into the trip when the engine started smoking. We pulled over to take a look and their was some kind of oily fluid all over the engine. I checked the engine oil and that was full so the only thing we could think was the transmission. We had a cute little truck driver pull over to help. She agreed it was probably the transmission and suggested we call a tow truck-which is what we had to do.
This is us waiting for truck driver trying to stay positive.

This was our tow truck driver! Isn't he exactly what you picture when you think of a tow truck driver!?!
This is us in the tow truck for our two hour drive to the next town. Continuing to try to stay positive especially considering it was a $375 trip!
The couple whose house we stayed at had a little girl about Spencer's age and they were just fascinated with each other. It was so cute.
This is random but when we were at Jennifer's house she had normal and giant size marshmellows. Steve was very excited! You can buy them at Wal-mart by the way.
Oh and hopefully I don't get in trouble for posting this becuase it's illegal but Grandpa's car didn't have enough room for all of us so we had to put Jessica in the back with the lugagge. Pretty comfy!
This is us at the Honda dealership. Trying not to cry when we found out the transmission had blown out. It was going to cost us $3800 to fix and the new transmission was going to take a week to come in. After a couple of hours of trying to decide if we would trade it in for something new so we could get going. Spending more money to rent a car. Going home or having Steve's family come pick us up. We finally decided to have them fix the car. Steve's sister Jennfier was just 2 hours away in Boise so they were going to come get us and take us to there house. Then Steve's Grandpa was going to pick us from there and take us the next 4 hours to his house. Then we would get a rental car to take us back to pick up the van in a week. (And by the way I didn't cry once-I kept a cool disposition)
Jennifer and her husband Jarom had to finish work before they could come to pick us up so we had about a 5 hour wait, and Honda closed in 2 hours. So fortunately Jennifer had a friend in Idaho Falls (Where we were) that was willing to pick us up and let us hang out at their house until they could come get us. They also had a friend that let them borrow their suburban so there would be enough room for us and our stuff. It was SO kind of everyone invovled!
Funny story. While we were waiting Steve took Spencer for a walk next door to the car wash. Jessica and I look over and see Steve park his stroller in the middle of the car wash. Then get the spray and pretend to spray all over the stroller. Then get the brush and scurb the wheels. And then stand back and admire his clean stroller. My husband is dork. But I love him for it.

Through this whole ordeal Spencer was such a good baby. I am so blessed.

Once we finally got to Oregon it was a great trip! Very relaxing. Debbie (she's behind me) took us on a tour of their local dam. It was actually really cool.
Four generations!
Chillin'
Debbie and Susan have matching scooters so we all took turns taking it for a spin around the block.
Jennfier and Spencer
That's hot!
I've been working a little more this summer and Jessica (and sometimes Robin) have been watching Spencer. Spencer just LOVES Jessica. I think besides me the only other person he likes as much as Jessica is Jennifer. Those Oliver girls have a way with babies.
Jessica took this cuties pic while she was baby-sitting.
When Robin and Jessica watch Spencer at their house they usually take him swimming. He LOVES the water!
Steve's brother Phil, his wife Jess and their daughter Kyra came up from Texas to visit. We love when we get to see them. Here we are playing Curses.
While David played with Spencer.
And Grandma played with cute Kyra. (bad pic of Spencer I know)
We also went to Gardner village with them to look at some cute shops. And found this treasure while we were there.
Phil was the life guard
And when I got back from girls camp yesterday Spencer started crawling! It's slow and little jerky but he's doing it!
Then we went on a nature walk.
