The Busiest Summer on Record

So, I can't remember the last time I posted to our family blog. Being a Young Women's president, a mom, a wife, and an illustrator has made this one of the busiest summers of my life...and our family's life. My kids are in no way bored or ready to go back to school. They said, "We haven't even had a real summer yet." I think they're referring to those lazy days when everyone swims at the pool, relaxes, eats out on the back porch every night, and stays up late to play outside. We haven't had much of that. Besides swim lessons, I took my kids to the pool once and we went to a lake at a family reunion and one close by another afternoon. We all are feeling a little jipped at the lack of summer we've had. In the meantime, I've been illustrating 3 books, going to YW camp, youth conference, weekly activities and other meetings. We try to squeeze in some good old family time as much as possible but we just feel a little lacking in the whole lazy summer department. BUT...

We have been very happy to have been able to go camping in our trailer once, go to a family reunion for a few days at an awesome place near Bear Lake, celebrate summer holidays with family, a baseball game and go to swim lessons and lego art classes. Even though we wish there were more days of summer left before school starts in a week and a half, we feel blessed to have been able to do all that we have. Here are a few pics...(my facebook album has more...send me a friend request there and you'll stay even more up to date...lol)
