7 months a trip and a birthday... :-)

David is growing bigger and more mobile every day.  He has learned how to roll over!  He rolls to anything in the room and plays with it which prompted a very fast baby proofing of the things at his level.  David can scoot all the way around in a circle on his tummy and often gets stuck under the chair or piano bench while he tries to reach the peddles. So cute!
This month marks David's 7 month birthday!  I can't believe how fast he is growing up.  :)

David Blaine Ferrin, 7 months old in this picture.

Josiah is still working at his job and I'm just a stay at home mom.  We are both planning on going to school in the fall.  Josiah will be going back to Dixie and hopefully getting close to completing his program!  I will not be going back to Dixie since I didn't do so hot in my music classes, I love playing the violin, but those music history and theory classes are a killer!  I will instead be going to the DXATC. They have a certificate you can get in AUTOCAD.  That was my major at SUU before I transferred to Dixie. I also hope to be getting my Associates from Dixie soon.  Still need to talk to a councilor about that one.

 My brother Chad was making David laugh!  So cute. :)

At the end of May we took a trip to Morenci, Arizona.  That is where Josiah grew up!  It was tons of fun.  We left after he got back from work and traveled all through the night.  We made pretty good time and got there about 11 the next day.  It was a long drive, I'm so glad that Josiah did most of the driving.  I was having the hardest time staying awake!  All in all we spent about a week there I think.  Every day was filled with something to do.  The whole reason we went was for Josiah's 10 year class reunion.  When he found out about it from some of his class mates Josiah was determined that we had to go.  I'm glad that we did.  We went to a dinner/dance one night where everybody was having such a good time.  I think Josiah and I were the first ones to open up the dance floor.  We danced to a country swing dance.  Sad to say, we were the only dancing to that kind of music, so the DJ put on some rap or something loud and lots more people came out to dance.  After that it was about midnight so we left to get back to our little David.  The next day was Sunday.  For those who didn't grow up in an LDS community, there was no church in their town!  Since the town is owned by the mine and the church likes to buy their property there was no LDS meeting house there.  It was interesting. We traveled for about a half hour to get to church.  I think everyone from the entire county meets there.  Relief Socitey was different than I expected.  There was no one to play the piano!  We sang along to a recording.  I take it for granted that everyone knows how to play the piano or at least the top hand.  Later that afternoon there was the second part of the class reunion.  It was a picknick in the park.  I think that part was fun.  We got to see everyone in the day light with their kids.  Josiah knew everyone there so he was off visiting the entire time.   It was fun to go there and see everyone!

This month has been another adventure.  I baby sat my Aunt D and Uncle D's children, 4 in all, and my own for a week while the went to work.  It was hard at first, but got easier as I got into the routine of things.
My friend Brittany came down to celebrate her 22nd birthday with us since all of her family was out of town.  It was way fun!  We played video games and watched moves and had cake.  Then the girls, Brittany and I (we left Josiah tending David), went shopping!  It was fun to get out with out David (as much as I love him, sometimes I just need a break!).  So, Happy Birthday to my friend!  I had a great time. :D 

My friend Brittany Reeves!  She came down and celebrated her 22nd birthday with us. So fun!!!

In August we are planning a trip up to Salt Lake City, Utah to go and see some friends who moved a little over 3 months ago.  The moved up there so the husband can go to school for his degree.  I am so excited to go and see them!

That's all for now.  I'll write more if I want to... or not at all for a month.  I'll just take it one day at a time for now.  Now to add the pictures. :D  Pictures added, enjoy!
