Utah and Chad's Finals!

So Isabella and I are in Utah right now. Chad flies in tonight. He finished his last final for this semester which was over FFA questions, and he did a great job! He had some really hard tests this semester covering a lot of Federal Regulations and one of his classes was a review of what he learned three years ago in school. The other class was rebuilding Turbine Engines! Well he did a great job studying, and it really paid off! I am so proud of him. And the best news is he only has one more semester left!!! We will see what happens after that, but we are just excited that he can work and not have to go to school all day!

I don't have any pictures of us here yet, but we are having a great time! Isy was pretty good on the airplane. I brought a video of Curious George and our portable DVD player, so that helped out a lot. Sleeping has been a little rough for both of us since she has been sleeping with me and we are off routine, but she loves playing with her cousins and all of their toys! The last four grandkids have been girls, so there are tons of little girl toys. Isy is in heaven! She has always been so social, so she loves having so many kids around. She just follows all of the kids around everywhere they go, and does everything they do, even though she is the youngest (for now).

She has already started talking a little bit more, not really understandable, but she is definitely more vocal. Last night she was pushing her three year old cousin, Emily, in her stroller. It was really funny and worked out well because Isy loves to push and Emily loves to be pushed. Some of the kids were jumping from a stool to the couch, and Isy just jumped right in. I was worried she wouldn't make the couch, but I really underestimated her jumping skills! She cleared it completely and did it over and over again, right along with everyone else. I was really impressed that she patiently waited her turn and watched everyone else jump. I know that was a lot to read without pictures, but I wanted to try to document some of our trip so I don't forget! I will get pictures soon, hope everyone else is having a great summer!
