Things are going well! Adrian's settling nicely into his new job and the kids and I are starting to enjoy a nice summer at home! Thomas is officially registered for kindergarten (can you believe it?!) and I'm so thrilled for him- he's beyond excited. He'll be attending a brand new school here in the neighborhood. We haven't found out yet many details as the school is still being built!
Hailey is a little rascal and keeps me on my toes. Just today, while I was making lunch, I glanced up just in time to see her pour a (free sample!) bottle of shampoo on the kitchen table. Sigh. At least it was free, right?! It's a good thing she's so cute. She told me this afternoon that she's going to start preschool soon and that she'll miss me while she's gone. LOL. Creativity is certainly not lacking when it comes to conversations with Hailey! For 2.5, she's amazingly articulate and is really fun to talk to.
Colin is 8.5 months old and just cut his first tooth! Well, teeth really as his bottom two came in at the exact same time. He's rolling and has even gotten up on all 4's...but hasn't started crawling yet. I'm ok with that though- take your time buddy! He is such a cutie, as you can see!
As for me- I'm doing well. Life is busy and as these kids get older, it just keeps getting busier. My blog is doing really well too! I am getting about 1,200 hits a day now and am just having a good time with it. Another local blogger and I share a lot of deals and she recently wrote an article in the Salt Lake Tribune featuring our family! You can read about it here.
We're leaving for California in a couple days- we're all so excited! We haven't gone to CA for a couple years, so we're looking forward to taking the kids to the beach, San Francisco and of course, seeing a lot of family. I'll post about our trip after we return!
Here are a few pics of some recent activities.
Both of these garden pics were taken on the same day. We've had a very cool, unusually wet June here in Utah. Thankfully, my garden doesn't seem to mind. Still, very weird to take pics from a freak hail storm, then turn around and show how my tomatoes are doing!
My sweet Colin.
On a whim, we drove 30 minutes to Ogden to see the Disney Train Tour one evening. What a flop of an event! When we arrived, there was a 4 hour wait to just get in to see the train. No thanks! We walked around and took some pics then left. (Note: if the train comes to a city near you, just pass on this free event!)
We had a woman offer to take our picture. We agreed and said- yeah, we're trying to take a pic of our family in front of the water tower! Family- check. Water tower, well, not-so-much. LOL.
Front page - way to go! Too bad she didn't mention the actual blog url...
