Maverick has been in 11 states already, and we'll add Virginia this month!

There are a lot of new pictures at the bottom of all of the blogs so make sure to check them out.
Boy has it been a long time. We had a family vacation. We went to Utah and visited some friends and family, Jon and Shannon, Anne, Katie, Jen and all of their kids. Then we went to the Grand Canyon - yeah in July. We were there for 4 days, with 6 kids. (We took 2 of Justin's kids because he was unable to go at the last minute.) We had perfect weather, it averaged 70 degrees at the north rim. The kids couldn't have been better. It was really nice to see alot of my Cousins on the Farley side that I haven't seen in years. I hadn't seen my sister mandi in more than 18 mo and she was there also. After that we stayed in Sampete with Weston and Justin's families (Megan's brothers) for 4 days. We then went to Megan's mom and dad's in Lyman Wyoming and spent the 24th with them, cousin Coutney, Uncle Fred and Aunt Sue, Mandi and her family were there also. Then we went on to Vernal where we helped Megan's sister Donnell move to a new home. Our travels then took us to Ridgecrest California to see MIke's sister Sherri and whitness Dylan's blessing and Tawny's baptism. We were so glad that we could see every brother and sister and their kids on this trip. That is 11 siblings and 21 neices and nefews! (and some spouces). We are unsure where the Army will take us but hopefully we will have a lot of visitors.
After getting back to Spokane Mike had to leave a couple of days later. We then had Shalynn, Tawny and Kailey stay with us for a week and a half.
Now Megan is preparing for the kids to go to school and for another trip! On Friday she will leave for a week to go see Mike in Virginia. She is thrilled, and has never been there.
