Solomon Family Reunion in Tucson October 6-10

All of my family, excluding Joel (school) and my parents(mission), had the opportunity to spend some time at a beautiful time share in Oro Valley called Rancho Vistoso.
I had such a wonderful time with my siblings, visiting, swimming, and seeing Tucson. I enjoyed the resort and the warm weather so much, I want to go back! We were able to go and see some really neat museums and the zoo, which was Preston's first time.
Here are a few pictures from the trip!

Standing on a crocodile at the International Wildlife Museum, which was a really cool museum!

Playing checkers with Melissa at the U of A museum.

His favorite part of the zoo! Getting soaking wet!!

His cousin Ian lifting him up to see the Rhino! In the background, Scott and Emily.

Eating breakfast with Melissa.

This was at the U of A museum, it had a lot of hands-on exhibits for kids. Here with his cousins Elise, Jaden, and Ian, Melissa's at the bottom.

I thought this pic of him by the wheel was priceless!
Look at his face, so happy, so content sitting in the water.

Tired from walking at the zoo, it was really hot outside.

Joel's Dream Come True!

We found out about a week ago that we are having a....




We are both really excited! (especially Joel!) I think Preston will LOVE having a little brother to play with and be best buds with.

Get Ready for Number 2!

This is a funny picture! Joel said he cut off my head so he could fit my belly, isn't that sad? I thought I would post and let everyone know that I am expecting again. I am half way there, 20 weeks, and we get to have an ultrasound next Wednesday and I cannot wait! Joel wants another boy for Preston to have a brother to play with, and secretly he wants to have his own quartet,(3 boys in a row). Yikes! We'll see about that! One at a time, I say.

Back to School!

Go Lumberjacks!

It is Joel's first day back to school! It is really exciting for both of us. He actually excited to go this time. He came home from class and had lots to say! Which is very different from before with school and work. I am really happy for him. I hope it keeps!
