Must post summer pictures!

Okay, so I am feeling like a major slacker.  It is September and I don't have my summer pictures on here yet!  TOO much going on.  I keep telling myself it will happen soon! 

I just finished making a shutterfly book of all of our summer pictures.  What, you ask?  How do you have time for that and not time for blogging?  Well, shutterfly put a fire under my butt by offering me a free book - but it had to be finished by last night at 11:59 pm.  I finished it at 10:20 (plenty of time to spare)!  I really do love shutterfly books though.  They are well made, super EASY to make and not a bad price (especially when you get them free now and again)>

Anyway, here is something else we have been up to lately - going to the dentist, aka Uncle Bob.  This is Tyler getting a filling - the first kid in our family to get one.  He was super brave and got to have two prizes from the prize box!  He was so funny with a frozen little face!  I was afraid he was going to bite his cheek or lip, but all was well!

I am still here

WOW!  It has been a long time since I last blogged.  This summer has been the busiest one ever!  So many things going on - fun things, work things, kid things.  You name it.  And soon, I will blog about them!  Stay tuned!

Thanks to all those with such great ideas!

I have been blogging for a couple of years now, but I think, only recently have I really entered into the blogging world - for real!  I did not used to blog very often and truly, did not understand how to do much of anything (not that I am an expert or anything now)!  Hey, I didn't even know to label my posts, so there are probably two full years of other stuff that isn't labeled.  Oh well.  Live and learn and on with the reason for my post!

I love, love, love reading and getting ideas from other people's blogs!  Sisterscafe.blogspot.com is definitely one of my fav places for yummy recipes.  Maybe I am a bit biased because these lovely gals are Lindsey's cousins, but really, I think their blog is FABULOUS! 

I also find wonderful family ideas and gospel inspired ideas at many of my friends (and blogging "friends") sites.  My friend Jaime always has great things to say over at her blog, and I love that she does a weekly book review!  I can't wait to read some of her suggestions!

Lastly, I want to especially thank those for the General Conference posts that happened recently.  We had such a great weekend with Conference.  We had treats, and conference packets (which only Tyler really seemed to like - oh well) and a LOT of really great discussion.  I know that I am truly blessed in my life and I have so many people to thank for that!  So, THANK YOU!
