WOW! where did the summer go!!! We had some fun.....but never enough vacation time!
We did get a chance to zip down to Arizona with Sterling and Ellen for a quick visit to Gma and Gpa Whites house. We were able to see everyone and took a little detour on the way home to the North rim of the Grand Canyon! We even had a surprise visit from Jean, Joan and company!

Then before you know it August was coming to a close and new baby Claire came and Hiram came home in the same week! WoW was that a bunch of fun! Then EVERYONE came to see Hiram and got the bonus of seeing new baby Claire! It was a great weekend of fun, BBQ's and visiting. Gma and Gpa came up with Jean driving! Beth and Ryan flew in from sunny Cali, and Sterling and Ellen came from Ideeho! It was wonderful and crazy. We had dear friends come to to welcome Hiram home!

Then all of the sudden Hiram had been home an entire week and a half and rushed off to BYUI to start his next adventure! Going to school for the next entire year! His best comment about the experience so far is, "Mom, Do you know what I've learned so far???? If you do your homework school is easier!" He is a genius! He is living with Sterling and Ellen this first semester and then he will land in some apartment and join the single life at BUYI!

In the meantime Stewart has had some great adventures here! He got his braces off and also received his GED and is moving forward with plans to get more school! He is being an amazing uncle and is involved in the singles ward where he is living.

And now today it's hard to believe that Baby Claire is five weeks old and is looking much more filled out and much less like a new born! Everyone has a different opinion about which of the waters kids she resembles! Today I think that she looks like Grace did as a baby!
