LIAR!

I am such a liar! I said that I would post when I got back from my vacation. Well, I didn't. Nor did I post after my next vacation, or my next! I missed Eli's 5th birthday, 2 camping trips, Chicago, and our numerous outings swimming, playing and enjoying the summer. I am so bad. I'm not sure whether to post about them now or just say 'oops' and move on starting with the present. Maybe I'll just post a few pictures and say that I had a good summer. I am not looking forward to the fall at all because that means that winter is right around the corner. I love the summer and the warm weather. ho-hum.

Ok, so here is the start of our summer... or should I say where I left off in my blogging world. Eli's 5th birthday was at Chuck E Cheese and he wanted his cousin Canon. Eli had fun even though it was stressful for me. We had our table and our pizza and cake and everything laid out, but since we were off playing games, they assumed we left and cleared our area. Yeah, we tons of leftover pizza, hadn't touched the cake or opened gifts or anything. Why would we have left???? They compensated and fixed everything, but it was a pain. This was also the day that brought "Lego Star Wars" into my life. LOL! Thanks Sara...

Camping trip to Bear Lake. I'm making popcorn over the fire.


We made our summer vacation to Chicago this year for a family reunion with Chris' family. This picture however is my family. Since Chicago is a bit closer than Utah, they decided to come out and say hi. It was so good to see them!

Hannah and Eli

Box fun...

4th of July at the Layton park as always. Thanks Sara for this picture.

Camping trip #2 to Rockport, Utah
Just a cute picture of my baby.
Ok, next is Eli's first day of kindergarten. It won't be till next week though. So that gives me a whole week before I need to post again. ;)

Wow Mary, I almost gave up on you girl. Cute photos. So how are you hanging in there today without your "Big boy?" Can you believe he's in Kindergarten? I told Canon he would be in school almost everyday, and there was a huge break down..."Everyday!...Aaagh!"
