Weekly Review





I can't believe that it is already the end of June! This summer is going by so quickly. I really feel like someone has pressed the fast forward button on my life. Another sign of getting older. I remember when I was younger feeling like the days would drag on. Now, the days are over before I get a chance to really wake up. Insane. That's one reason why I haven' t been posting very often. There's not enought time in the day. Although, probably the real reason is we are just usually really boring people and there's not much to tell! Although, we didn't get to do everything together, it was still a fun week. Last Saturday, our friends invited us to go to the Lake and go Seadooing with them (probably spelled that wrong but I'm tired to check). That was very fun. Hubby was working but the kids and I had a great time. Everyone had a chance to ride and everyone loved it. This is a toy I wouldn't mind having. It's fun and it's easy. A lot less hassel than having a boat. Which I used to want way before kids. My friend and I went out together and on the way back she let me drive. As we were coming back to shore, we got pulled over by the Lake Police! He said to us, "how old are you?" As we stated our ages, both of us in our 30's, he's like, "well, you have to be 16 to ride one of those, so that's a compliment." That made my day! Oh, and apparently we were going too fast for a No-wake zone. Oops!
Hubby took Liv and Mr. E to the Lave Beds National Monument. It was supposed to be a family camping trip but G-man ended up doing summer school so, of course, I had to stay home with him. That means if mama doesn't go the littler ones don't go. Which was really probably a good thing as you can see from the slide show, I don't think they could have handled it. They had a great time exploring all the amazing caves up there. Mr. E ended up being the Scout. There were some tunnels that were pretty small and they didn't want to crawl through to have them be a deadend, but sometimes they would open up into larger caverns. So he would crawl ahead to check things out and come back to report. Mr. E loves to explore the great outdoors and was really in his element up there.
We've also been enjoying the free summer movies at the UA theaters. On tuesday and Wednesdays they have 2 movies to choose from. They are older movies and we've usually already have seen them but you can't beat watching a movie on the big screen. The only time Little A will sit still for an hour and half! Mmmm, lovely. Hubby has also been working on our garden clearing all the weeds away. Let me tell you this was no easy task. Running this week has been challenging with all the smoke in the air. In case you haven't heard, we're on fire out West. My throat has been sore and my sinuses have been giving me problems. So I only ran 2x during the week. Today was better but I was troubled with cramps that I just could not run through. This was discouraging because I have a 10k I'm doing on the July 4th. This was supposed to be our test run. Again, I'm frustrated right before a race. We will see. At least the air is supposed to be clearer by then.
Well, I have babbled enough for one day. Good night!
