Where is the summer going?

Lots has been going on since we got back from Washington. My mom came up to help me decorate the nursery. Since I'm going back to work in August I want to get as much done as I can now. I painted, she sewed and we visited a lot of quilt and fabric stores. We make a good team. Steve's been helping with putting up chair rail, base board and crown molding. It is looking pretty good. Once it is all done I'll post some pictures. Last weekend I drove back to L.A. with my mom. I had an 3D ultrasound scheduled with a family friend and my best friend Laurel was having a bachelorette weekend. The ultrasound was really cool. Baby Boy Bonner is perfect. I took a picture of one of the pictures. Hopefully you can see everything. Laurel's weekend was fun. It was originally suppose to be for most of our college girlfriends who live all over the country to have a little reunion and celebrate Laurel's wedding. Her sister Katie and I were the only ones who actually came from out of town, but it was fun anyway. Lots of Laurel's good local friends were able to come. We had a shower on Friday night, went to the beach Saturday afternoon, then out to dinner and Dark Knight that night. We went to the Santa Monica Pier after the movie and got Slurpees. Laurel was coming up to Walnut Creek on Sunday, so I got to drive home with her. This week has been so nice because I've been able to relax! I am getting caught up on all those things around the house that I've been putting off. I have one more week of doing nothing, then it is down to L.A. again for the first annual Kelley sisters reunion. Mom has rented a house in Laguna and all my sisters and my sister-in-law Amanda are coming. Mom wants to make it a yearly tradition. Sounds good to me! I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures to post next time.

Twin Lakes, Bonner Reunion '08

Steve and I just got back from a week and a half of being with his family in Washington. We spend the 4th of July weekend in Richland and then headed for Twin Lakes (4-5 hours away) for a week. It was a special time because Steve's parents just returned from their mission and everyone was there, minus one husband. There are now 15 grand kids from ages 1-13, and 10 adults so things are busy- to say the least when we are all together. The Bonners have been going to Twin Lakes for around 30 years with friends and family. Now with every one's families growing it is getting a little crowded, but we made it work! There was a huge storm on Thursday, which knocked out all the power and water for two days. We were ruffing it! It's good to be home now and clean. I think I've gotten all the laundry done. My mom is coming tonight to help me with the nursery. I'll post pictures of what accomplish next week. Here are some pictures of Washington.

Here is Steve with Chris on the 4th of July. If you look close you can see black on Steve's face. Chris was showing Steve his sparkler a little to closely. Don't worry. His burn is almost healed.

Our family picture for 2008 all in Taiwan shirts. The only one missing is Scott, but we left a place for him. We are hoping to photoshop him in.

Some of the girls with Aunt Gail getting ready to ski, wakeboard, and tube.

Three of the younger boys posing with their cool visors they just made. We were each assigned to do a craft each day. Mine was visors.

It's a BOY!!!
