"This and That" (so you know we're still alive!)

April? Is that really the last time I posted ANYTHING?! Well, let's just say I'm kind of a blogging loser! The time just goes by too fast! I'm just quickly looking through my photos over the past few months to see what may be worth mentioning or seeing - to me anyway. These will be in reverse chronological order as to remain consistent with how the blog normally posts. That way we can pretend I've been blogging all along. :)
This is in the month of May. The kids helped plant flowers in our yard and this is where they were planting the giant Sunflowers. If you've been to our house in the last few months, you've seen that these Sunflowers that started from seeds are bigger than our trees!

This is also in May. This marks the beginning of my coupon shopping. In the past, I've just taken the kids with me to the grocery store. Shopping with coupons is quite another story. It just takes a lot more time and effort. As you can see all 3 kids knocked out after we finished - they were not up for the challenge. I now leave them home if at all possible if I'm doing couponing. :)

Luke

No, I'm not trying to start a new trend! This is just an example of something a rushed mother might do. I grabbed a pair of pants - the ones I thought Luke had been wearing that day as we rushed out the door to go somewhere. I didn't put them on until we got to our destination, and after a few minutes noticed that indeed these were not Luke's pants, but Cameron's shorts. Too late! He would just have to wear them. When we got home I decided to take a picture and document my stupidity. Glad I can laugh at myself!

Chad and Lilly

This was up at Bear Lake over Memorial Day weekend. The kids had fun at the beach, and I DID take a lot of beach pictures of the kids playing, but I thought this was a good opportunity to include Chad on our blog once in a while! :)

So the next thing I found was Easter. Yep - Easter was a long time ago, but here is the best photo I could get of all my kids (and Yoda). It's not very fun trying to get all the kids in a picture at once and from my photo files I can see that I only tried 7 times and this was number 7. I guess by that point we were all just DONE with trying so this is what we got. They are all looking, and smiling (sort of - Lilly) and I suppose that is about all I can ask for. Nice diaper shot Lilly!

This has caught us up to summer - and boy we have had a whole summer FULL of family, fun and sun so that will have to come later.
