Family Day at the Beach!

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

This was our last day together with everyone...all eight!

...we chose to spend several hours at Newport Beach

...definitely a family favorite!

What a great day! ...fabulous end to a fabulous summer with everyone home! :)

then Wednesday the 26th we (Lindsay, Chelsea, Allyson and I) were off driving two (loaded to the brim) cars to Provo, moving our three BYU girls into student housing and getting them all ready for school.

Sammy!

Yes, we have a new puppy!

We've named her "Sammy" and the girls adore her. We're not sure what breed she is exactly?...somekind of terrier mix maybe?
Michael tolerates her but definitely prefers our good, old yellow lab, Roxy.
