A Bunch of Randomness

  • I highlighted my hair blonde again. Its been a while! I thought it would be fun for summer. I don't have any pictures since I feel silly taking a picture of myself, so next time I happen to be in a photo I will post it.

  • Devin finished Spring semester! yay! He is still working 65 + hours per week between Smith's and his internship, but its one less thing. I am still working my 20 hours per week as well. So we have had a babysitter twice per week to help with Hals. It is the first time we have not been able to do all child care ourselves. It was just too much though. The babysitter is a 12 year old girl in our ward and she does a great job, so it works out fine.

  • We are going to Boise for the 4th of July for Kylee's sealing! I will also get to see Anneka, Nataley, and hopefully Camille! SO EXCITED!!!! 4th of July of old? Yes, we will be reinacting to the best of our ability. That includes a big pancake breakfast, parade, swimming, BBQ in the afternoon, and of course fireworks. Never mind that it is a different city, we will still love it.

  • My cousin Houie (Houston) was here for football camp this week and on the first day got his shoulder dislocated when a 400 pound boy (that may be an exaggeration, but it sounds better, so we will go with it) landed on him. He got transported to the ER in a ambulance which was pretty awesome. Hals and I got to go pick him up and check him right out of that bad camp. He stayed the night with us, so we got to see Aunt Mari Ann and Uncle Ron too when they came to get him the next day. Hallie loved all the attention.

  • Our garden is starting to grow. There are way more weeds than plants at this point. We have weeded for a week straight and I discovered that I kind of like weeding! What? I know...shock shock. I just like making something look nice again and it is good to be outside. Hallie is a good "help" in the garden. She likes to sit on my lap while I weed. Why she will never sit on my lap otherwise, I don't know.

  • I have been doing pretty good riding the bike places. I usually ride it 2-3 times per week. Not too shabby. I quite like that too. I still need to get a bike. I have just been riding Devin's. It totally works though so we are in no rush to get a bike for me.

I just love summer. So many good things about it! That's all for now... I have some funny videos to post of Hallie. We will see when I get around to it.

When Hals throws her hands in the air on the video she reminds me a little of Grandma Donna. What a ham. Good job riding your bike I am proud of you.

Thank you for taking care of my son! You were a life saver. It was great to see you and Hals and I hope the next time it is for longer and under better conditions!
