A Long Time Coming . . .
Friday, January 29, 2010
So ya, I guess it's been a while since I've blogged. In fact I'm so far behind that I had almost given up on blogging completely. But since Steve is out of town and I have nothing better to do (besides housework) here goes. . .
Let's see to recap the past few months. We are now moved into our new house and trying to restore some sort of balance to everyday life. Hopefully someday the house will really be "done" and I can officially move on to thinking about something else. In early October we went to Missouri for a wedding and visited the church history sites around Missouri and Illinios. It was the best trip. I can't believe how much my boys learned and remember, it's amazing! Then in November Steve and I took a trip with some friends to Cancun for a week. It was a much needed break that we fully enjoyed. Then came moving, Christmas and Parker's birthday. Here's a few pictures of all the happenings, in a very random order.
Christmas Morning!!
I ALWAYS catch a bigger fish than Steve. It must be so hard for him!
Awesome ruins, awesome friends!
Steve tried out scuba. I was so jealous!
This one was for the boys. We told them we met Spiderman. They thought we were the coolest parents ever. (for at least a few minutes)
Some serious head gear at Margaritaville.
I hope they follow their examples of brotherhood. 
I think one of the highlights of Nauvoo for Steve was to visit the original Browning gun shop. 
Adam-Ondi-Ahmen
Everywhere we go Steve always has to check out what crops they're growing. This one was no different. I think these were black eyed peas. I guess you can't ever quit being the son of a farmer, and he wouldn't want to.
Independence temple site.So there you have it in a nutshell. Maybe now that I don't have so much catching up to do, I won't be so bad at keeping up.
