Falling Behind....again

My fam (minus a few people, who are either on a mission in England, too large with child to drive or came down with a bug on the day this pic was taken, or just had too much teen angst too hang with his family)

It's amazing how when you try to take time away from blogging, suddenly you have a zillion things to blog about. And I realize that my blog has reverted to nothing better than mere "this is what we did today" posts, but as I've said before, that's why I started my blog to begin with.

I've thought time and time again about starting a new private blog for all of my family affairs, and all the boring picture posts of my kids I know you all just skim over and don't read. (Whew! I know, I'm the queen of run-on sentences). The reason I haven't done that is I'm just too lazy. I can't fathom having to manage both. I don't know how you all do it.

Some of you have a regular bloggy blog, then a family blog, then a blog about recipes, then a blog about church-y stuff, then a blog about nutrition, then a blog about how to have a better sex life as a married mormon chica. Seriously. How do you keep up with it all? (p.s. you are welcome for all the linky love). I've hit the mark-all-as-read button too many times than I'd like to admit in the last few weeks. Just when I think I've gotten on top of all the blog I read, I log in to reader, and there are 800 more unread posts. I've gotten to the point, that I read my special folder marked (and I kid you not) "Blogs written by people who I think are my actual friends." I read those, comment (sometimes), and then skim through the rest (read: like 10 more), then mark all as read. I'm seriously considering doing some unsubscribing. I just don't know who I could cut out.

Anyway, I don't know where I was going with that. I tend to vomit thoughts uncontrollably when I get on my blog. Oh yeah, I got on to post pictures of what we did all last week. Sorry, if you think that's boring.

Last Monday we took the monkeys with my sisters and their monkeys to the Dinosaur Museum. We go there every year. But the kid seem to love it. Only this year, it occurred to me that every year their favorite part of the park is the swing sets and slides. Don't know why I drive all the way to Ogden, pay $20 for the family to go to the park.

Wednesday night, Peter had a dance recital. Her little cousin M, is in her dance class. Look how cute they are! I took a video, but I'm too impatient to load it.



Saturday night, KJ had a recital for her children's choir. It's a lot like Sunshine Generation. She even had a solo! She did such a great job!


Sunday, we drove 4 1/2 hours down to Hatch, UT (if you've never heard of it, well, neither had I, until I met my BIL) My sister's hubby is from there, and they blessed their twins on Sunday. So, we drove down bright and early, went to church, ate some food, visited, then drove the 4 1/2 hours home. Nothing like 9 hours in the car in one day. We would've made a weekend of it and stayed down there, maybe gone to St. George, except for KJ's performance on Saturday.


My sister and her hubby are seriously the most gorgeous couple, don't you think?

One of Tyler's brothers' wives and I have a little battle going for "favorite aunt." I think I'm winning.

Aren't they just beautiful? I asked Kristen if I could keep one, since she doesn't need two of them. But, she seems pretty attached to both of them. I guess I'll just have to settle for only seeing them twice a year, until they move back to UT.
