Up to Speed

Ok, so listen...I have accepted the fact that blogging isn't really my thing. However, it is way past time for me to update and put up some new pictures. This is totally lazy, but I have just grabbed some pictures from the past 5 months and mashed them all in here. (I figured it is better than nothing!) I really hate Blogger and find it really non-user friendly (like, why can't I change the order of my pictures after they are uploaded?? Is it just me? Why does it take forever to upload them? You would think that with as many people that use it, they could fix it up a bit? Anyway, just had to vent that real quick.) So my point is, my frustration with Blogger prevents me from wanting to update this blog very often.

Anyways, here are a few snaps of the last few months. Enjoy.



Father's and Sons Campout- May 14th 2011 near Pinto Junction, UT















These 3 clowns are sooooo cute together. It makes me so happy how much my children love each other. (Most of the time.)




Easter 2011









This boy is still so in love with his baby sister. I love it so much.



Back in April, Nana helped Drew with his first-ever science project. They did it about simple machines. I have a feeling this is a first of a very long list of science projects this kid will do in his life. He is very smart and loves to use his imagination and invent and create things. This summer, he is finally old enough to go to Camp Invention (a science camp that my mom runs for a week each summer) and he is so excited. It is totally up his alley.







The other thing that has been occupying much of our time lately is landscaping our backyard. Right now, Marshall and I are in the midst of building a retaining wall along the back of our lot. I haven't taken any pictures, but we are about halfway done with it. Maybe when it is done I can take some pictures of the finished product. It is awesome all the things you get to learn how to do as a homeowner. Many of our projects have been tedious, but we have made a lot of progress on our yard in the 16 months we have lived here.

are you using the newest edition of the blogger editor? It is a little more user-friendly. You have to switch to it in your blogger settings area.

Cute pictures! Your mom sounds awesome.

Clicking on your blog, and Ian walks in the room and laughs and says "See, its Bubba right there!" I guess his big cousin made a lasting impression on the boy. Thanks for the visit, and hope to see your guys again soon. I also forgot to thank you for your wise words in looking at others through new eyes. Have a great day!
