A VERY quick update

My camera is lost so I have no pictures from my last month except ones from other people, and they all downloaded in a weird order. But my mom asked for an update, so here it is:

Here is Maddie having a tea party with her girl cousins at Grandpa Stucki's house during Father's Day.


Maddie came up with a new hairstyle that she insists on wearing every day now.


Maddie stayed with Jamie for a few days at Grandpa Stucki's house and kept Grandpa company with her non-stop talking for a few days.


We went to Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia, where we went for my birthday. I am 27 now!


I did Maddie's hair for crazy hair day at school and was so proud of myself. But then Maddie saw it in a mirror and freaked out and cried and cried and said she wanted to have beautiful hair, not be crazy. I tried not to laugh in front of her, but I definitely had to take a picture to laugh at later.


This was the stunning resort we stayed at just outside of Victoria, British Columbia. It was in the middle of a forest with this amazing view of the ocean. It was a very peaceful place for me to spend my birthday. We had planned on hiking all over Washington and Canada, but then I got some kind of bug and couldn't keep food down. It turned out to be okay though because I got to lay in bed all day and read books, which is my idea of a vacation!


While we were in Canada, Maddie got to stay with her cousins in Vernal, and had a great camping/fishing experience. Thanks Eatons!


Maddie drinking a cocktail and thinking she was so cool. (It is koolaid.)


I had Lasik Eye surgery. I hated every second of it, but my vision is now freaking awesome!


For Father's Day, my family went to Sundance in Utah with my dad. It was beautiful.


That is it for now! I hope everyone else is having a great summer and finding ways to stay cool.

Happy birthday! It looks like such a beautiful place! Love hearing the Maddie stories. Gives me hope that Hailey acting the same way is normal.

Okay, I'd like to see a "long after" picture of your poor eyes - you freaking scared me even more from getting mine done after seeing your painful looking eyes! Glad to hear you are seeing so well, though. The Butchart Gardens look amazing - hope your birthday was great.
