Summer is just about over!  It is bitter sweet.  Because I love the sun and all of the fun things we can do in the summer such as hiking, camping, visiting the beautiful beaches and letting the kids out to stretch their legs.  I am looking forward though to a few new things this fall such as Rylen going back to school, Ava possibly starting preschool, and moving into a new home!  I strongly feel that our prayers were finally answered because of the faith of one little boy who as I knelt down in prayer with him one night asked Heavenly Father for a beautiful home with a yard and that we could be happy there.  I know Rylen's unaltered faith was a result in our finding this home.  It's beautiful, affordable, option to rent to own, in a great school district, now we just have to check out the ward.  It humbles me every night when he reminds me "Mom we forgot to say prayers".

Ok! Ok! Already!  This is my first time posting anything on my blog...almost a year after Kim has set this up for me.  I'm not big on scrap booking and this is just another form of scrap booking paper not included.  I love looking at my family and friends blogs sooo after much antagination I am submitting.  This is our most current family photo and I wanted to share with everyone.  I am so proud of my family and what they add to my life.  Love you guys!

If she's not going to post...I will!


This is Kim.....Monique's SIL. I'm married to the brother above (Jason) with super cute Ava! I set this blog up for her AND have made most.....no.....ALL the posts for this blog!

Yes, she is super super busy....so I'm gonna tell you about our fun Berezay reunion. That and I'm tired of seeing the same post. The downfall of a sibling knowing your password!

I really don't know what the funnest part for them was.....but I know we had SOO much fun playing with them.

I especially loved the bond that Ava and I made. From sharing gum and 'wip gwoss' (lip gloss) to sharing a little diet coke every now and then. Monique told me that on their way home @ McDonald's she asked Ava what she wanted to drink. Ava very coolly said "ah, I think I'll have a diet coke". No worries. That's an Ava and Aunt Kim treat! She got chocolate milk! ;)
***I don't know why but I have NO pictures of me and Miss Ava. Oh right...I'm the only one in my little family that uses our camera! :(

Uncle Jason had soo much fun with Rylan. He had Ry completely convinced he was the real Superman. I will say that for both Ry AND Jason they asked and fielded some really good questions/answers. Ry asked Jason to prove it by flying. Jason said he couldn't or everyone would know who he was and he didn't want to burden Ry with that! Ahh, so fun to have a husband that's.....how old is Ry......6! Heaven help us!

Monique and I had fun reading 'Breaking Dawn'. I felt bad for her though because she kept falling asleep! She got through it though!!!! We also had a mini "what not to wear" session every time I got dressed. I was grateful....I prayed she wasn't sick of it! She's like the WA version of Stacy! My oldest son Sam also had A TON OF FUN with Monique. He literally cried 1/2 way home. It was a 16 hr. trip. Every hour we'd hear this 'sniff sniff'. They have a very special bond! This picture was right before we left for home.


Mike was hilarious as always! My kids had SOOOO MUCH fun with their Uncle Mike. They made movies on his laptop the first couple of nights. They are still talking about it and I'm still waiting for copies! ;) We love having this guy in our family!....nice picture huh!!?! "your welcome!"

So that's my version! Maybe she COULD MAKE A POST! She wrote out directions and everything! tisk tisk :) This is what happens....you get no photo okay!

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!

**this is just a super cute picture of Zoie (my youngest) and Miss Ava!
