We are still alive...

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. Things have been absolutely crazy around here! I start teaching on Wednesday and still have a million things left to do. I never realized actually how much stuff teachers had to do before school started. I am a total To-Do list person, and I feel like lately for every one thing I cross off my list I end up adding 3 more things. It never seems to end. So please keep me in your prayers because I definitely need them!

I feel bad because I never put any pictures up from our trip to California, so here are some of the highlights....


Blake, My dad, Michael, and Travis had a blast at the ESPYS (while I was stuck in Utah at a boring conference)

The also went to the MLB All Star game. Spoiled boys :)

My mom, sister, niece and I got our nails done.

We also took Brielle to the Disney store where she got some sweet sunglasses, sandals, lunch pale, and princess toys.

Dinner at Tequila Jack's in Long Beach.

They love Aunt Courtney!

We love them!

Brielle LOVED petting the sharks at the Aquarium of the Pacific! She kept reaching in so deep that her whole head was soaked ha

This is so Smalls and Bun :)

At the airport waiting for Chad.


Yay for Chad coming home from his mission! We are excited for him to come back up to Provo with us!


Dad's Birthday!!!

All the Donaldson Girls

We went to the beach one of the days! It was such nice weather!

We did a ton of other fun things that I didn't get pictures of :( Blake's family has a lot of really good photographers so sometimes I just let them do the picture taking. It was a very wonderful trip!
