Blog Hiatus

I've decided I'm going to take a little blog hiatus. I feel like I'm spending too much time on the computer and not enough time taking care of my house. I'll post photos occasionally but that's all for awhile. Not sure when I'll be back.
I'll leave you with this little cutie:

Apparently...

I have 3 blog readers. Or, my give-away goodness is not enticing enough. Or, you like a good give-away but you don't want to share the love.

Whatever.

Heather and Emily, you guys are gonna get something AMAZING. I don't know what it is yet, but it will be AMAZING.

Restless

I've been feeling really restless lately, like I need a major change. Do you ever feel that way? At any given moment I want to pack up and move somewhere new. A few days ago it was the Oregon Coast, then it was Syracuse, Utah. It really doesn't matter where...I just need a change! Maybe it is because so many of my friends have been moving lately. Maybe because this summer is so hot and draining. Maybe I just need a vacation!
Since we aren't going to be moving anytime soon, I decided a blog facelift would have to do. So, welcome to my cute new blog. And if it changes next week, you'll know why!

I have a Blog????

I think I forgot that I have a blog...actually, I have thought about posting almost everyday but for some reason could not work up the words to post. Lame, I know, but that's my story!
So, lots has been going on. But I'm not going to go back and do a whole month recap. Maybe just a few highlights.
Last weekend, Sam took off for the annual Elk Hunt with his dad and brother, Troy. I prefer to call this event "camping-with-guns-in-case-an-elk-attacks" because in the 11 years we have been married, not one of the participants in the event has shot an elk. Sam's nephew Garrett is actually the only one that I know of that has even shot his rifle. Anyway, I digress. While Sam was away, the boys and I played. My parents were staying in Park City at the Mountainside Resort and invited my siblings and I to come stay the weekend. Suzanne, Amy and I all made the trip and had an enjoyable time (aside from the fact that I wasn't able to sleep Friday night and my kids had a few bouts of disobedience). It was fun to spend time with Suzanne and co. since I really haven't spent time with them for several months. We all learned how to play Rook (which Suzanne and Amy rocked), did Karaoke and carved pumpkins in the activities center, swam and also watched Conference. Probably my favorite part was Saturday morning when the boys woke up, they opened the curtains and saw that it had snowed. My dad and I took them down to the pool where we found a nice, bathwater temp. hot tub that was safe for me to sit in. It was still lightly snowing and there was about an inch or two of snow on all the lawn chairs. The boys started making snowballs and throwing them at us in the hot tub and then joined in a massive snowball fight with a few other families and an employee that was caught in the crossfire. The snow was perfect, lightweight packing snow and the kids made some of the biggest snowballs I've ever seen. A fun time was had by all!
I had my 34 week appointment with my midwife today. She has been concerned that the baby was breech so at the end of my visit, she did an ultrasound and we saw this little girl's head down, exactly where it should be! Danielle (my midwife) and I both cheered and were very relieved to see her head down because if she hadn't turned, most likely I would have to have another c-section which we DON'T want to do! So, good girl...she is already obedient!!!
We are still trying to come up with a name for this bambina...funny how when I was having boys, I had plenty of girl names that I liked. Now that I am having a girl, we are really struggling for names. I guess we have 6 weeks to make a decision...any suggestions are welcome!
OK, my back is hurting from sitting here typing so I'm going to end. Hopefully there won't be as much time between posts as these last two!

My Sweet blog!

I started reading blogs about 2 years ago when my best friend started her own. I thought from time to time about starting one but thought "what would I write about?" and "is my life interesting enough?". Well, what I've discovered from reading many a blog is that you don't have to have an interesting life to have a blog! On occassion I catch myself thinking, "oh, that would be funny to write about." But where? I have tried keeping a journal several times and haven't been very successful...I think it is that elusive reader that trips me up. But now, I have the world wide web as my audience and will hopefully get a comment or two along the way. So, without further ado, I give you, my blog!
