Where to begin?

We have been busy!  Mommy spent most of last week up on Cedar Mountain with a bunch of Young Women braving the rain and cold.  (Actually it was really only ridiculously cold the last night she was up there!)  She was gone for three whole sleeps.  We missed her very much but had fun playing with Grandma and getting schnazzy new Merida undies.  It feels almost impossible to catch up the blog.

Aunt Rachel has been putting Mommy and me to shame!  Although really we have been mostly business as usual.  I do swim lessons and gymnastics.  Mommy teaches at the gym.  Daddy works.  Cara learns how to pee on the potty.  Oh wait....we weren't quite business as usual.  Mommy got so sick before she went to Girls Camp.  She had a killer sore throat for 3 days that had her in tears.  Even the good medicine didn't work.  And then it was a moderate to mild sore throat and a congested nose and a dry hacking cough.  None of it has fully resolved and we are coming up on the two week mark.  I think we will just be glad that she was the only one to get it fully....although Grandpa and Uncle Eric ended up slammed with it too.

Oh yes and we HAVE to mention how Mommy was the only one who needed the first aid kit at camp. She describes it as running because she's late, trying desperately not to lose her footing on a gravel slope, "Supermaning" down the hill, cheese grating her arm, horror and embarrassment, afraid someone saw, relief no one saw, and then totally bummed that no one could even laugh at her because they didn't see!!!

However, now that she's home we've also been back to hanging out and being silly!

Aren't we fabulous?!

Jumpin' Jacks...it's the place to be...until you have a potty accident!
We also have great video of us going down the slides if you're interested!

Dancing in a summer rainstorm!
It should be on every bucket list!
Oh and Daddy is ward clerk which in our church means he has to sit up on the stand and count how many people come to sacrament meeting.  He does this with his phone and so Mommy (apparently in an irreverent mood) started sending him silly pics of us.  Aren't they silly?

Isn't it funny how we get busier in the summer even though neither of us has any children in school to make summer really mean anything different than the rest of the year? Ha! I guess school leaves a permanent imprint on a person. You end up still living life on a sort of school-year calendar. When really, you could be doing all these things in the off season before you have any kids in school. Take advantage of your off season this fall for me! I'll have one in school so I won't be able to anymore!
