Memory Game

I have been seeing this all over on other people's blogs; I guess it's my turn to play along.

Here are the directions:

1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Blogger's Block

I don't know what the deal is, but I seriously feel like I have no desire whatsoever to update this blog. It is not for lack of goings-on, because we have been pretty busy. I don't know, maybe it's lack of notable pictures. It seems like every time I go to take pictures lately, the batteries are dead, or I forget the camera altogether. Ok, ok I admit it! I have been using up my leisure time lately ripping through the Twilight series, so I haven't had much time to blog. (And I know what you are thinking- I'm a total sheep...I know, and I don't care! It's the most fun I have had reading in a long time, so back off. lol) So for lack of time, here is the scoop on the happenings around here this past month (in random order): Went to Cedar City to visit my mom and Rachel & kids, and helped my mom out a little bit with her summer camp, A few weeks ago, my grandpa passed away, my mom's dad. My parents had the opportunity to spend his last moments on this earth with him, before he passed, which was a wonderful experience for them. I love the perspective the gospel gives us, it makes things like death seem like not such a big deal. I know he is now with my grandma and things are as they should be. Also this past month I helped plan and carried out our Primary Activity Day water party thing (I have to admit I'm glad to have that over with- sorry kiddos) I am still trying to prepare my Easy Dinners Enrichment night for this week, Drew had swimming lessons for two weeks straight, that was kind of a pain but most of the time Drew enjoyed it, tried to keep on top of gardening (I have zucchini and squash coming out of my ears, people! If I have to incorporate zucchini into one more recipe, so help me...! But I do have to admit, the zucchini bread's not so bad.) And, we finally have some tomatoes ready to eat. Normally I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but garden tomatoes are a whole other thing! (I have this weird compulsion to eat them the way my dad always did- with mayonnaise and salt and pepper. I know, it is so disgusting, but for some reason I gotta!) Hmm, what else...? Allie is walking a lot more these days, still a bit wobbly, but she is making progress every day. Drew- you guessed it...still playing trains. (But only when he's not outside riding his awesome bike!)

Well, that's all I could come up with for now. Now that I think of it, maybe I am better off saying nothing than rambling on about random stuff. Oh well- take it or leave it! Here are some recent pictures I managed to get- enjoy them.

Very cute- even if I do say so myself (dress compliments of Auntie Mel Smith.)

I love that both of my kids have farmer's tans- it's so awesome!

I wanted a picture of the flowers in the front, but oh well (they look prettier up close.)
