update

I guess blogging has become more of a weekly thing for me lately. I really need to get my camera out more often.

-With the warm weather, we decided to go test out Kim/Ron's pool last Tuesday afternoon with the Swinn's. It was a little cool for my taste, but the kids didn't mind too much. We munched on some fruit and gold fish crackers. Then had some Cafe Rio for dinner. Fun night!

-Our little running group has been great!! I have made so many trips across town though in the last week. It stinks with the cost of gas right now. We have changed which Marathon we are running. We will be doing the Park City Half Marathon on August 22nd, if anyone is interested in joining us. It is on a Saturday!!!

-I see these cute chunky legs like this quite a bit these days. He is just into everything!! He has gotten so good at mimicking the kids lately too. Today we got him to hold the phone and say "hi". I'm not so fond of him copying the girls' squeals and screams though.

-Saturdays have gotten to be so busy for us. This past Saturday we had Luke and Ry's soccer games, (at different times of course), Ry's kinder registration, and a primary activity. I ended up waking up at 6 to get my run in. Needles to say, when we got home in the afternoon, it was nap time. The kids thought it would be so fun to all sleep in Luke's room together. I knew it would never happen, but gave them 30 minutes to calm down. Well, the dog ended up trying to sleep with them, and there was no way it was gonna happen after that. So we all just "rested" for a bit. I love that Darren works during the day now, but I really don't like having to be single soccer mom on Saturdays. (side note: #1 I don't like the dog on the bed, he thinks he owns it. #2 Luke has a pillow case, just couldn't get him to put in on after it was washed.)

-I got my blood test results back a few days ago. My thyroid is hyper active. Which I learned several years ago, but never really had symptoms that worried me enough to do anything about. I went in for more labs today. I guess we will discuss treatment some time this week.
-We had a family home evening tonight about families. A much needed one. The kids have been fighting like crazy. I think we have just given in to the chaos of having a big family lately. We set up new chore charts and schedules. I hope we can stick to it!
I have been wearing fake eyelashes when I go out. It totally stinks!!
