I only got a few of my pictures to move where I wanted them and then my blog decided to wig out again and not let me move anything. I've spent too much time messing with it already so I am just leaving it how it is with everything mashed up and out of order!
I'll tell you what we did this summer so that some of these pictures aren't so random. Jon and Kat were fortunate enough to go on a no kid vacation for a week in June and we were fortunate enough to be able to watch their kids, Sevy and Teik, while they were gone. After that, we headed up to Idaho to visit Brent's family. There were 17 people at Ami's house and it was the most chaotic, fun time. We loved having that time with them and are so thankful to Ami and Quinn for putting up with all of us running around their house! After that, my niece, Koda, flew home with us to spend some time in Texas and then Grandma, Grandpa, and Bryer flew in from Seattle to finish out the summer with us. We've had a busy but fun summer and I'm so glad we got to see everyone.
Koda, Avery and Drew
Brent took the Big Texan Challenge to eat the 72 ounce steak meal in under an hour. This is how much he was able to finish. I was pretty impressed.
Outside the Big Texan. Cody, Bryer, Drew, Koda, Grandma, and Avery.
Brent is about to start the meal. You have to eat the entire 72 ounces of steak, plus 3 shrimp cocktails, a salad, a roll, and a baked potato. Brent gave it his best and didn't quite finish but I assure you, he paid for his efforts later. I don't think he'll be trying that ever again!

Avery really liked having Grandpa here.
We went to see the outdoor musical "Texas." Brent was so excited to be there. (That's Brent's brother, Cody next to me.)
Avery and me at Cheer Texas.
Of course, my kid is the one eating the sand at the Sand Dunes.
I climbed to the top of the sand dunes and I thought I was going to die--I'm so out of shape. Here's proof that I actually made it.
I even climbed up again with Avery on my shoulders. Again, I'm just proud I did it because I thought my lungs were going to explode--seriously out of shape here, folks.
Ami got her car stuck in the sand. Luckily this yellow jeep was able to pull her car out.

This picture pretty much sums up Avery compared to the rest of the world.
Sevy
Drew had swim lessons for the first time this summer. He passed but just barely! 
The kids had so much fun together and we were glad to have the time with Teik and Sevy.
I was able to visit a good friend of mine in Utah from college. I always say she was my roommate but looking back I realized we never lived together. It just seemed like it because we were together so much! Traci has the cutest little boy now and I'm glad we've been able to keep in touch all these years because she is a wonderful person and a great friend.
Grandma bought water goggles for all the kids. Drew made sure to pick out matching pairs for him and Avery.
Trey and his water goggles.

Whew! OK, that's it. Sorry it was so unorganized and random but that's our summer in a nutshell (yes, that is the condensed version!). We had a blast!

Great update! I kept looking for proof that the cool Liechty family was part of your summer for a short few days, but there was none :( We still had fun and look forward to our next time together!
