Long time no post

Haven't updated for awhile. Kinda fell off the blogging thing lately. I've just been playing with my kids lately. We went to Lagoon, lots of swimming, family parties on my side, family reunions on David's side. And I've left my camera at home for most of these events. Maybe it's because it is so huge, heavy, and expensive that I don't want to bring it. I do understand that there is definitely a place for a small point and shoot camera. I did manage to take a point and shoot camera on David's family reunion to Zions so I'll post those later.

But, here's Jennica trying really hard to master a two wheel bike. Hasn't happened yet.

The tramp gets used every day. I love our rectangle trampoline. I love them so much more than the round ones. Even though I know the round ones are a lot cheaper.

Look who's riding a Bike!

Braxton came in the house the other day so excited. He had taught himself how to ride a bike. I was so surprised and a little alarmed. I'm not really ready for him to be able to be so mobile. Our driveway is a blind driveway with tons of bushes on both sides - so if he doesn't stop and look both ways at the end of the driveway it could be trouble. The other day I was standing on my driveway when he got on his bike and started towards the road. At the same time I saw a big black diesel truck pulling a trailer come barrelling down the road. It seemed that it was going so fast. I yelled at Braxton to stop but he has had double ear infections and cannot hear very well right now. They both met each other at the same time. Luckily Braxton stopped when he should. It just scared me to death.

I've put an old bike in the middle of our street when he asks to ride his bike. That way cars have to go really slow around the bike. I'm sure my neighbors are probably wondering what it's doing out there. But, hopefully it will keep Braxton safe.

Yes he wanted to look tough on this one. . .

He's such a goof. It is hard to get a picture of him looking at the camera and smiling.

We do get it every once in awhile

Okay, this is a little forced - but I'll take it.
