P.S. to everyone: I wrote this post on July 1 and I didn't have time to mess with the pictures until now. So here it is, a little outdated but oh well.

Well ok. Yes, it's been a while. What a busy crazy month we have had! Lots of baptisms, baby blessings, birthdays, etc. And I keep forgetting to take pictures. Since I last posted Sarah and Jared returned from Texas, so that's happy. Maybe not for them but it is for us.

Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, I turned 29 yesterday. Ho hum. You think that's bad, wait till next year. That will be a tough one. Jason took us shopping and out to eat, he's such a gem. Aubrey will turn 7 next week, I can't believe I have a kid that old. She's here already critiquing my post and being a smarty pants. Here are some pics we took from one of our many fabulous trips to the park.

We are working on potty training Carter. It's going, but not going great. There have been a lot of accidents. But what can you do? When he decides to go, he will go. Here is a picture of Carter using his diaper as a scabbard for his "sword" (ruler). All this is happening while we are trying to get the kids to bed. Never a dull moment.
This was a lot of fun. The kids turned our back yard into a mud hole in a matter of minutes. I don't know how they do it. All three of them looked like this.

My boys really like their shades, especially Blake. Speaking of Blake, well I thought he would have teeth by now. But he doesn't. They keep getting closer and closer but still nothing. He's really loving dancing right now and mocking anything he sees his dad do. They have little games they play together, it's a crack up. We've been thinking about getting the speech therapist from the up to 3 program to come back to our house. He still isn't saying much and his communication skills aren't where they are supposed to be. Last fall and winter he had an occupational therapist to help with his swallowing and eating and drinking. They come to your house so the child is more comfortable, it's really nice but can sometimes be a hassle. We still haven't decided what to do.

Father's Day wasn't much fun for the dad in our house. Jason had gone to the chiropractor for the first time the day before. He was in a lot of pain, he didn't even go to church and I had sharing time in primary that day. That was a fun morning, it's difficult enough to get to church on time. Anyway, he's a lot better now. Well, I guess that's about it for now. Hope everyone's having a terrific day!
