no camera!
Because I was without a camera for some time I was unable to get pictures of my graduation on August 17th, and thus forgot to post anything about it. My dad got some, but who knows when I'll be able to get my hands on those. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I FINALLY graduated with a BS in Home and Family Living from BYU! It was definitely and adventure to get this degree. But it was fun and I'm glad after all is said and done that I stuck to it and finished. Yay for me!
The Beach House
Here are the promised pictures from our trip to California. As I had said, we spent the week at a house just a few steps from the beach in Ventura with Mark's family and it was a lot of fun. Here you can see Megan on her first plane ride, and catching up on some much needed zzz's. She was an AMAZING sleeper on this trip and has not slept as well since we got back. She must have known it was vaca time. Also, here she is with her two of her girl cousins, Maddie and Kayliegh-- what pretty girls! Then there's Mark becoming the in house trainer for the entire family. We had a lot of fun. Thanks to the mommy and daddy Basil for making it so awesome!

Chatty Cathy
Megan has definitey found her voice. Yesterday at stake conference she talked almost the entire 2 hours. Luckily we went to the broadcast at the stake center rather than attending at the Alpine Tabernacle so the kids there were all a lot louder than her anyway. it wasn't the squealing kind that is very distracting and it was so hard to want to even stop her because it is so cute!
Last Friday she did the same thing, only it was from 1-3 AM! At least she wasn't fussing and crying! Anyway, this may seem like a lame blog, but it's my life and I love it. Her talking (okay, just babbling) is so dang cute!!!

Update
Okay, so it's been a while since I last posted. I actually put one up for about 15 minutes, before my husband commented that it was too negative (it was a rough day), and since then I haven't written. We've also been gone, so sorry it's been so long.
Anyway, here's what's up with us.
1) Megan turned 2 months on August 2nd. We had her 2 mo check up and she was 10 lbs 2 oz and 21.5 in. long. I tried to take a good picture of her, but she was not about to be set down. She insists on being held up and out so she can seen the world and does not care to be laid down. People are always so amazed that a little 2 month old is so alert because she is always so wide eyed, holding her head up, staring at everything, and cooing all the time. It's very cute and fun to see her become so social (she is definitely her mother's daughter). Unfortunately, she doesn't sleep well on the go, but she sure does like to take in the world!
2)Last week we went to the beach house in Ventura, CA with Mark's family. It was a lot of fun. The beach was rather cold and windy but we had our hands full at the house with 5 kids under 5 and there was really never a dull moment. The kids had fun screaming and running around the house and we spent our time chatting, cooking, and getting ready to go (it took a least 2 hours to get everyone packed and ready to go anywhere!). We had a lot of fun and it was great to get to spend time with Mark (without work), Mark's sisters and mom.
3) Last night Mark called from Sundance (where he was working for the day) and said we had a free room for the night. So I pack up again and headed out for a fun little over nighter at one of the Sundance cabins. I've not ever spent much time up there, but the room was really nice and it was a fun little adventure!
Unfortunately, after all this reading I have no pictures. I left my camera in CA and it's on it's way here. So when I get pictures, I'll post them. Just thought I'd give you all a little update from the Basil's!
