Summertime!

This summer what have been busier than ever! I honestly thought we would have a nice quiet summer with nothing to do...but I was very wrong! Haha I don't even know where to begin to tell you all about it.....it all happened so fast! Now that I am getting to blog about it, school is about to start here and that is CRAZY!
This is a pic of Daley just getting cleaned up from playing in the mud...She was having fun taking a photo shoot!
I'll start with all of our summer visitors! I had no idea that Kayenta would be such a popular place to spend some of your summer vacation! jk I will give a list of all of our visitors and I hope I get them all in! Bri and Sonora have spent the whole summer with us and we have had so much fun with them! Daley is going to be so sad when they leave! On the weeks that they go home she lets me know how boring I am!
Chad has also come up and spent a couple of weeks with us and he has become Daley's favorite! She would rather go to Chad than any of us that are here at the house!
Roger, Babbett, Jack, Evette, and Ricky came up to help us do some deep cleaning here at the restaurant and we had lots of fun considering we were doing some pretty hard work.
Blake, Martha, Riley, and Tess came up and spent a few days with us while they were evacuated for the Wallow Fire that hit near Eagar. We had tons of fun with them too! We just sat, relaxed, ate, and swam and to me....that's all I want in a vacation!
Mom, Dad, and Madi came too and spend a week with us while Dad worked at the mine to do some installs. It's really nice when they get to come up! We really miss them and we were so lucky to have them for a whole week! Daley loved hanging out with Aunt Madi even though Daley would bug her sometimes. We had a blast going to Monument Valley for the first time with them! I wish I had some pictures of that! It is seriously one of the most beautiful places in the world!
I feel bad I didn't do the best about taking any pictures while we had visitors but as you can see I do have a few here and there. We miss everyone a ton!
We loved all of our visitors this summer and hope they all come again! And this is a shout out to everyone else who wants to come visit! We would love to have you!
Some other things that have been going on this summer on our few boring days usually after work we all go out as a family and work on the yard.....Daley has her favorite spot where she likes to walk back and forth on the side walk and she reaches as far as possible under the fence to get a rock. She loves to suck on rocks! So usually Denver is working on the lawn and I am guarding the rocks to Daley doesn't get to them. So if Daley cant get to them, she likes to play in the mud and play with Blue!
Daley has also been learning how to drink out of cups and use a spoon or fork.....she definitely hasn't mastered it yet but we are working on it a little bit! One thing she does like to do though is find treasure in the trash! Denver was drinking a Mountain Dew and he wouldn't share it with her.....so when he was finished and he threw it away....she went right behind him and dug it out of the trash to get her share of it! Haha Denver and I were cracking up because she knew she was doing something naughty and she was looking at us like..."What are you going to do about it?"
Denver and I have found out that Daley knows what the work "no" means. Whenever she gets into something she is not suppose to Denver and I will tell her "no" and get up to take it away from her. When she sees us get up she just does it harder and faster or she runs away! Little stinker!
