Inconsistent blogger

I'm pretty sure no one will read this blog since anyone who was checking my blog probably gave up on me long ago, but I'm hoping to mend my inconsistent ways and add updates a bit more frequently (which shouldn't be too difficult to do, right?).

I'll begin this one by saying I LOVE SUMMER! I guess technically it's still Spring, but it finally feels like summer after a very cool May and early June. It's so fun to see the kids running through sprinklers, riding bikes, playing with bugs, blowing bubbles, etc., etc.

A couple of weeks ago Paige and one of her best friends came up with the idea of a Spring Fair. They wanted to "sell" things there, but I was feeling cheap, so I ended up twisting the idea just a bit and we made it into a Spring Craft Fair. We had a bunch of Paige's friends over, set up various craft tables, and had a really fun time.

Nathaniel had a friend over, too, but Nathaniel was napping at the beginning and the friend concluded that there were just way too many girls.

Speaking of Nathaniel, I have to say I love my boy! He can be such a sweet little guy. He'll catch me off guard with his "Know what, Mom? I love you!" comments and his great hugs. He can be a stubborn fellow, though. Last summer, I tried and tried to get him to ride his tricycle . . . I just figured that's what little boys are supposed to do . . . but he would not.

A couple of weeks ago, Jamie asked him if he wanted to go ride his tricycle for a bit. Nathaniel, in his polite way, said, "No thanks." Jamie asked him why not. Nathaniel's response: "I want to take it to the DI."

Since then, something happened and now he's fascinated with his tricycle and no longer wants to dispose of it. So now we're thinking it's time to get him on a little bike with training wheels, but that may be another tough sell.

On one of our cooler days, my sister, sisters-in-law and I, and all of our kids met down at the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. We had a great time and, because of the cooler weather, basically had the place to ourselves.














Not much else to report for now. I hope to write again soon. :) Happy Summer to all!
