Lame Excuses for Lame Blogging

Are you ready for a bunch of lame excuses for why I haven’t been blogging here lately? Okay, here goes.

1.) I have been spending a lot of time on my other blogs, particularly My Soul Delighteth – because I love reading the scriptures, mostly. But partly because I am lazy, and also because it is hard to write about my boring, sometimes really hard life, especially when I could just write about how much I love the gospel instead.

2.) Life has been hard. It has been up and down, like most people’s live are, but our downs are really really really far down. And I don’t like that. I like normal ups and downs – not normal ups and depressingly horrible downs. Thankfully we can fix the horrible downs, and we’re working on it.

3.) These little stinkers take up a lot of time – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love them, I love being with them, and I love teaching them about our Savior and this beautiful world.

 

 

 

4.) We’ve been doing a little bit of vacationing this summer (I will post about these trips, I promise… it might just be in a few months. Ha ha, no just kidding. I will be caught up by my birthday – promise). We drove to the top of a 14,000 ft tall mountain in Denver. Mt. Evans. It was beautiful and I gained a new appreciation for the beauty that is in this world. And for my son’s … fearlessness. Seriously. It was like the kid wanted to jump off the side of the mountain. As if that would actually be fun. Something about the thin air and all the rocks must have set him off. (PS We did a bunch of other stuff in Denver, too – stay tuned for a cool post complete with pictures!)

5.) Then there was a camping trip with our old friends from Monterey – Gabe and Noah – and Russ’ little brother, Jordan. The kids had so much fun. I’m amazed none of them got eaten by bears. Just kidding. But they kept running off into the woods (of course). It was a ward campout with our neighborhood ward and it was really nice to get to meet a lot of them, especially since we recently made the decision to start attending our neighborhood ward. (more about that later, too…)

6.) And then we spent a week in Puerto Rico. It was like a second honeymoon. And fabulous.

Maybe they aren’t so lame excuses. We did have a lot of fun this summer! I can’t believe it’s already September!

Well, between now and the end of September I hope to get caught up on all the blogging. It’s going to be crazy, but I think I can do it!

In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed my readers’ digest version of the summer.

You can keep tabs on me over at My Soul Delighteth and Math Savers. And hopefully I’ll be catching up over at Child’s Play, too.
