Loser Blogger

Oh, believe me, I know! Somehow finding time to update the blog has been much more difficult lately. We've had visits from my parents, from Aunt Paula and Uncle Jeff, Ryan's fourth birthday, spring break, the ever intensifying Primary work, and just daily life in the way. Jillian can crawl now. Even on the third time around it is still amazing to watch the developmental leaps babies take. She learned to crawl one week ago. Saturday morning she couldn't do it, Saturday afternoon she tried and still couldn't do it, and then all of a sudden Saturday night she could suddenly crawl. Truly miraculous and really cute, even if it means life is getting more complicated!

The boys have had a great trip together to meet the Felt family in Moab. I do enjoy a good camping trip but I must confess that 9 hours in the car to go camping with a crawling, diapered baby sounded less than appealing. So it turned into a Dad and boys trip. From what I can tell, they had a glorious time. You can see the ruins in the background, they were right above the camping spot that the Felts like to use in Canyonlands. The boys were tired and totally dirty. We just had to throw away a whole load of orange socks, that sand never washes out! Many thanks to Gary and Debbie, Abby and Rich, and Uncle Bear. The boys had a wonderful time.

While the boys were gone, my Mom and Sunny and her girls came down for the first annual all-girls extravaganza. We had a ball. Sunny has all the pictures, seeing as how my boys took our camera. But we did all sorts of fun girl things: we exercised hard every day (you should see my Mom and Sunny salsa dancing!), we shopped, we created, we painted toenails and we watched a chick movie EVERY NIGHT. We also made some bruschetta that was so good that we ate it for dinner several nights in a row. Jillian and Jane are only six weeks apart and it was fun to watch the two of them together. Right now they spend most of their time taking toys from each other and patting each other's faces.
