Summer fun

We've been busy this summer!!! We flew out to Washington in June to visit family and be in Bret's Sister's wedding. I was able to be a bridesmaid and made my dress and one more also. Bret talked me into making matching Hawaiian shirts for him and Hayden. We were the best dressed if I say so myself:). During our 2 week trip we visited Washington, Organ, Utah and Idaho. We really enjoyed staying with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. Hayden even got a little time alone with them while Bret and I took a trip to Lagoon. It's a really fun amusement park near Salt Lake City Utah. Hayden is a great traveler and loved getting to know his new uncle Ross. We love visiting family and friends!!!
Bret started back to school and work the day after we got home. While we were gone he got transferred to a different Radio Shack. He likes his coworkers and manager and because of school he has been getting less hours which means less income. We take turns telling each other "it will be ok honey we pay our tithing so the Lord will provide". We are so grateful for all HE does for us!!!

Hayden keeps growing. The other morning I got him out of bed then went to the bathroom. Usually, I close the upstairs gate but I didn't because he followed me into the potty and I figured he would stay upstairs with me. He is really good at going up and down on his belly so when I heard movement on the stairs I didn't think much of it. I washed my hands and rounded the corner to find him standing up holding the railing and stepping down to the 5th stair from the top!! My heart stopped!!! I ran down to him to get after him. He just smiled like a big boy and reached for my hand we walked the rest of the stairs together. He is growing up too fast!!!
We just transferred from the Kalamazoo University Branch to Kalamazoo 2 ward because Hayden is now old enough to go to nursery. HE LOVES IT!!! He is really nice during Sacrament meeting then when it's over we ask "Do you want to go to class?" This last week he pushed Bret out of the way and almost ran to his class room.
Our 3rd wedding anniversary is the 25th of this month. Hayden will get to stay a couple of days with Grandma and Grandpa Gutgsell while Bret and I travel with the Neils to Ceder Point! Bret has never been and when I told him that was my plan he had that kid in a candy store look :) We all hope the weather is nice and the lines are not too long. Ohio here we come. Hayden better be nice to Grandma and Grandpa.
