6 MONTHS!!!!

I was looking at some of your blogs, wondering why some of them were not updated, when I realized I had not updated mine since January! So, Here I am, trying to remember what has happened in my life since then- and it is not easy! Mmm.. Now let me think- January, heck, I can't even remember the movie I watched 2 days ago, although we did go see 17 Miracles a couple of weeks ago, and it was really good. Maybe I'll have to work backwards: that might do it. Yesterday I had lunch with some of my friends from work. That was really fun. We still don't know if we'll have jobs this fall, but we're hopeful. I've been taking care of my garden, and ponies, and PUPPY! Yes! I have a puppy- Tilly. She is a Shih tzu. It's almost like having a baby all over again. Clean up messes, get up in the middle of the night, 4 or more feedings a day. I got her in May, right after coming back from England. Oh yea! I went to England for 3 weeks. I stayed with my Mum, took her on walks every day in the wheel chair, and visited with friends and family. Everyone was so nice to me. I have an amazing family! I went with Natalie, who only stayed a week, but we had a great time together.
Before England, I was working, we had an Easter Egg hunt, lots of birthdays, a really cool baptism (Alexis), a wet spring, a long winter, Oh, and I decided I need to get myself in better shape, so 30lbs, and 4 dress sizes later, I am feeling great, and hope to loose another 15lbs, but it is really slowing down.
Roger bought me a really cool bike for Mothers day, and I now ride all over Draper and other places. So, that's my life in a nut shell, sorry if I missed something really important involving you- Hope I was there for you. Here are some pics.

I had the flu over Christmas this year, so it came and went with little ado for me. I did get up to watch the boys open the few presents they had though, and took a couple of pictures.(literally).
Then it was back to bed to sleep off the ill effects. Adam played in several concerts. This picture is from the Joseph Smith building, downtown.

Here is one of the first pictures of the newest family member-Maxton. He is already 2 months old(not in the picture), and is doing great. He's had his first Christmas, and is surviving his sister Madison's attention.

Okay, so there is no way that I can put all that has happened this summer in order of priority.
the next thing I am going to tell you about is --New babies! Although technically Joshua is no longer a 'new baby'. He is already 5 months old- and has buried himself deeply in our hearts and lives! He belongs to Jay and Jill, and joined us on May 5th 2010. He has a smile to light up the room and your hearts. He is always happy to see you!
October brought Lincoln into the family. He is Charlies little brother, and has Tera and Anthony for mom and dad. what a precious little spirit he has. He is so calm and serene. there is usually a line up to hold and snuggle him. He joined us October 4th 2010.

It has been a very busy summer, and although I haven't had to work, I have not taken the time to keep up on my blog. So I will try to update it a little at a time.
I'm starting with Lyndsey and Eric's wedding. It was on 8.13.10. We had it at a cabin up at Brighton ski resort. It was a blast.

Here's Maddi hunting with Allie. they were on an adventure together. she loves being outside with all the critters.

This is Isabella all fat and happy. she has lost her winter coat and filled out really nice. too bad that I have to sell her, but she needs to go where she can reach her full potential!!
