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.)
