UGA
We moved at the end of July to Athens, GA. Christopher started their MBA program and we will be here for the next 2 years. My brother, Hansen, came and visited us for a week! We took him on the official UGA tour!
The stadium!
Terry College of Business, where all of Christopher's classes are!
The church bell on campus. And no our girls were not strong enough to make the bell ring on its own.
The famous arch on UGA campus. It is said to be bad luck to walk under the archway until after you graduate...so of course Hansen walked under it!!
We even took Hansen on the UGA bus! Avery really loved it, despite what her face is portraying!
Summer Vacation!
Our vacation started out great! We were headed to Utah for the week.
Christopher loves to stop at all the state signs to document what states our kids have been in!
We spent our first night in Kansas City! We went and saw the new temple!
And then we went to a Kansas City Royals game. They even won!!!
Our second day went great until we got into Colorado!
And our car broke down 100 miles east on Denver.
Here we are in the tow truck! We rode for 100 miles just like this!!!
We had a day detour and spent the night in Denver. We ended up leaving our car there to get fixed.
We rented a car and kept on going to Utah.
Before going to our reunion we stopped by our old apartment.
Here we are at Gates Hall! This is where Christopher and I met. We had to get a picture because very soon it will be bulldozed!
The "Y"!
Our goal this summer was to get pictures of our kids with all their grandparents. Here they are with their great grandma Blake.
Here they are with grandma and grandpa Blake!
The worlds most awesome teeter totter that also spins in circles!
After Utah we went to Grand Junction to see Christopher's grandparents. Avery and Sarah loved their back yard.
Avery, Sarah, and James with their great grandma and great grandpa Siebert!
Our plan was to go the same way home as we went out to Utah, but because of our horrible car problems we had to take a detour to Texas and stay a couple of days! I, of course, did not mind one bit!!!
4th of July
We spent of 4th of July at home in Norcross. We went swimming and Sarah showed off her new skills! She can now swim with just floaties on her arms. It has made swimming much more enjoyable!
We bought a bunch of sparklers to do with the kids. Avery loved them and James loved watching them...
...He did not like holding them.
Sarah thought they were pretty cool, but didn't like the sparks coming at her.
Tubing Adventure
We took our girls tubing this summer for the first time. Avery loved it and could not get enough. She yelled the entire time while on the tube, "Go Faster!!!"
Sarah on the other hand enjoyed the boat ride more than the tube ride.

James
James has grown up so much in the last month. At his 6 month appointment he weighed 16 pounds 9 ounces and was 28 inches long.
He can now balance on his feet and stand with a little bit of help.
We are learning that it is just has much fun to dress a little boy for church as it is to dress a baby girl. And he looks just as cute!!
He is learning to hold his own against his sisters. He is a great hair puller and is learning the art of wrestling.
Just in the past week he has mastered sitting up! Of course if he makes any sudden movements he falls over!
Busch Gardens
We spent our last day in Virginia at Busch Gardens. It was a lot of fun! Avery and Sarah loved all the rides. They had a Sesame Street land with lots of fun kiddie rides.
Amazingly enough Sarah went on this ride and didn't cry!
The girls tried bumper cars. Avery spent the entire time going in circles. Poor Sarah couldn't reach the peddle, so she tried to push it with her hand, but then she couldn't steer.
This was Avery's favorite ride. She went on it at least 6 times.
This is how we ended the day.
