Excited for summer...

I have been getting together our plans for this summer and it looks like it is going to be a busy one with a LOT of traveling involved. Things are going to get started by going to Fresno for a week to see my family in April. Then the day after we get home we are going to pile all of our stuff into the car and drive to Arizona. We are heading out for the Rice family Easter picnic. It is a tradition in their family and all the relatives come out to it each year. We are going to stay in Sedona (one of the most beautiful places on earth) with Colin's brother Ammon and sister in law Torey. I am excited to see them again and the rest of Colin's family. Then in May my family will hopefully be coming here for the weekend to celebrate my graduation from the masters program at UNM. I have decided that I am going to attend my departments ceremony because I did not walk for by BA and would like to celebrate this achievement (it was a difficult path for me). I June I will probably go to CA again to visit again. In July me and Braylon will be heading to LA for a family party with my dads side. We will be staying with my Aunt Yolie (my dads sister in law) and will get to see all of that family. They have yet to meet Braylon and I am excited for everyone to see him (especially because everyone, including me and Colin, this he looks a lot like my dad). Hopefully, form this point my brothers and I can convince my mom, sister, brother and nephew to come down and go to San Diego. My younger brother Tyler lives there and I have yet to visit. We could spend some time hanging out down there and going to the beach. At 10 months I think Braylon is going to love the sand and water! Next is August and I was thinking either another Fresno trip or one to Oregon or both. My grandmother recently moved to Oregon and we NEED to go visit her! I was thinking that either August or maybe even June would be a good time. Plus Colin's grandparents also live i Oregon and happen to only be an hour and half away from my grandmother. I would love to bring him by them and allow them to meet there great grandchild. Colin's grandpa suffered a stroke last May and we almost named Braylon after them. There last name is Campbell and we were so close to using that as Braylon's middle name (it is James in case you did not know, that is Colin's middle name and his paternal grandpa's too). Anyway, we HAVE to see them! Finally, the summer comes to a close and we will have Braylon's first birthday, which we are not going to celebrate until balloon fiesta weekend. Most of Colin's family comes out then and I really would love for mine to experience it . So we decided we will do it that weekend. Oh and if Ammon and Torey get to bring their adopted son home during this time (which I am praying they do) we will make the trip to see them and meet him once they get all settled.

Busy, Busy, Busy. It is going to be a lot of traveling but I am looking forward to it ALL. I really want as many people as possible to be involved in Braylon's life and I want him to know them all. Well, have a great day! Get outside and enjoy the weather. That is what we are doing!
