The 1st 1/2 of Summer '08 well more like ramblings

What a fabulous summer thus far. I hate not having a camera, but I am tired of using that as my excuse for not posting.
So, I will continue jabbering on about summer... it's a hot one in Utah but hasn't really seemed hot until a couple days ago. Weird. Because we haven't had a drop of rain for months (plural!) But I am physically 20 lbs. heavier this summer and yet I feel that much lighter. Weird. I was determined to have a summer to be with my boys. And I have. And I've loved it. Weird. We bought the passes to Seven Peaks. The local water park for those of you not familiar, and we try and go enough to get our monies worth. I like my boys. After seeing what's out there, I like them alot. They are gone on a little fishing/camping trip to Scofield Reservoir. Sam bought the trip at the Scout auction. Uhhh, Scouting, let's not go down that lone and dusty trail. Well, now wait,.... Let's. My opinion of scouting is this. I think the church made the deal with the devil/scouting a long long long time ago and now they can't get out of it.
But, back to the train of thought on the train tracks, I cut my hair short. I realized today that it looks like yours Janet! Why do I always want to be my big sister? Because I just do. We've gone to the Zoo, and again, I really like my own children, the library, and speaking of, why does a trip to the library automatically bring on guilt for a mother? ANy one? I know I should read to my kids more and blah blah blah, I'm a beliver, but I'm not one for guilt, and yet, there it is. Weird. We've had low days and way busy days. We've done our service projects and "Have been anxiosly engaged in a good cause" to help someone out. Mainly Sam. OK and a couple neighbors. Again. I wouldn't trade my boys for anything. Ok, I hope to have a camera soon and put up a couple pic's of the Stewart summer fun.

I wish you had a camera too. And I realize when I am out that I enjoy my own boys more.

I really like your boys too :) How is Sam doing? Is he recovering ok? I miss you and your boys :(

Ooh, you talked about a haircut without a picture?! I'm dying over here.
Your boys are pretty fabulous. Even ask my husband.
And I would think you would feel great about yourself for a trip to the library - that's more than I do.

Was there ever any doubt about your kiddos? I hope Con is like them when he is bigger and hope it'll just rub onto him any time we visit.
