Another lovely week

So I don't forget- an update on our house. We turned in our request for repairs to the sellers on Friday and should hopefully hear from them today. We also ordered the house to get appraised. There is so much that goes into buying a house! We are scheduled to close this Friday, the 22, and be allowed to move in the next Friday, the 29th! Our plan is to paint, paint, and paint before our things get moved in. We have our temp. apartment until August 8 and might stay here that entire time...just so we can paint everything before we move in. (it really needs it!) Our anniversary (the 9th) may be spent unpacking! Then my mom flies in the 10th to help us. (which I'm so excited for)

Scott multitasking
Friday we went to Tanglewood Park. We heard it was pretty cool, but didn't think it was this cool... They have a little lake where you can rent canoes and paddle boats, a golf course, tons of playground toys all over the park, a pool, and a mini water park for kids. We're so excited for when Addi gets bigger and can fully enjoy this awesome park!

This past week we've had some rather unusual cool weather. So we took advantage of it and went outside to eat lunch. Well, at least I ate lunch. These two just hung out together.
Our car seat doesn't fit like others do in shopping carts, so we always stick her in the basket. This is us at Costco. People just loved seeing her! They would pass by and I would hear "Did you see that baby?! How cute!"

Saturday was really nice and cool. We decided to go to Bathabera park and do a multi-cache geocache. It first took us to a graveyard. We had to find different graves that gave us different numbers for our next coordinates. Once we got the coordinate, we went hunting for it. Along the way, we walked right by this turtle that was in the walking trail.
Since Scott was carrying Addilyn, I had to climb over all the fallen over trees to find the bottle that had the next coordinate. Cabo was like a wild animal running in the woods. He loved it.

It had been there since 2004! The log book was super full and we were on one of the last pages. Look for Lorrox & Smitholian! (our geocache names)

Cabo was wiped out!
When we got home, he drank some more water and then laid in the same spot for a couple of hours. He was so tired! Like I said, he was like a wild animal running in the woods so he did that to himself!
Hobby Park
We went to another park, I don't remember what day...It's called Hobby Park and it's right by our house we're buying. The park is exactly what the name is, hobbies! They have a landing strip for remote control airplanes, a course for RC cars, a course for BMX, mountain bike trails, tons of fishing ponds, etc. So cool.

No, we're not torturing her...she actually loves being blown dry!

This morning, you would think I drug her or something!
It was a pretty good weekend overall! I had to give a talk on Sunday and then we had the missionaries over for dinner because the original people had canceled. Scott made his famous omelets. I also got some pictures that I had forgotten about! Here they are-

Again, me and Luc- this was when we were coming back from our 30 day road trip last summer

I thought it was fitting that I found these photos because the Meldrum family just took of to China for several months! Brad is doing an internship with John Huntsman jr. Two people are missing from this picture, Addilyn & Charlie! The funny thing is, we had just found we were pregnant the week before this picture was taken, and Rachel didn't know it, but she was pregnant as well!
