Still Playing Summer Catch-Up


Me and my Ukulele.  Got it for my birthday because I was feeling like I needed to learn something new and was terrible at teaching myself.  I think Jaci's friend Landon said he would give me lessons so I think I will try and start in about 2 weeks. I'll either keep you updated or forget I ever wrote this... we'll see!
These are my talking signs that I made.  I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes Will and I have a really hard time saying what we really mean until its a full-fledged confrontation.  So... I thought these would help. Besides, I don't always know what I'm feeling or what I want so it's nice to be able to look at these, pick one out, then hold it up!  Easy peasy Lemon Squeezy!
Ok... This is pretty scary I know, but the great hair is leftovers from I love Lucy's birthday and I had to send this pic to my kids. It's the day after my LASIK surgery and these are the frog eyes I had to wear to bed for 5 days. Adorable aren't they! The surgery was a teeny bit freaky and slightly traumatic but I was a trooper!  It's now 2 weeks later and my vision still changes from day to day and each eye takes a turn not cooperating. It's getting better every day though. I still feel like I'm wearing dried out contact lenses most of the time, but I know that will get better too. I did run a red light driving at dusk. I just didn't see it and scared mom. he he
That was kinda fun.
Will did his yearly Nephi biathalon and won this year.  His spin classes and crossfit have definitely helped. He beat his last year's time by 7 minutes.  He wants to try to take another 4 min. off by next year. I'll bet he can do it too!  Isn't he cute!!


Daniel and Silvi have been spending LOTS of time in the pool this summer!  We put up a little privacy fence in our driveway so we can swim without all of the neighbors watching all the time. It's been so much fun!  Daniel and Silvi are both fish and Daniel has taught himself how to swim. As long as he wears a face mask he can do anything.  We got glowsticks one night and filled the pool up with them and they swam in the dark. They thought that was great fun!  Mom's pond is right next to it though so you can't be afraid of wasps.
Speaking of wasps... Daniel got stung on the lip by one. It was over on the playground though. If you look really close, he is not making a face...that is his actual lip size.  He was very brave through the whole thing though.  I was a Je's house for a week and then he came to stay with us for about 9 days. We had a lot of fun.  He's coming to stay again this week when papa and shaun go fishing in Alaska.  It's our last big time together this summer. Then he starts preschool and Jes starts babysitting and I work Thurs & Fridays.
