Well I have given in and joined the BLOGGER world. I guess that I am trying to keep up with my amazing little sister. I hope you all know that Ruby cooks, organizes and sews. I have a hard time keeping up with my kids without adding crafts and talents to my life.

Sooo...what are we up to? Well, summer is underway in Saint George so we are mostly just trying to stay out of the heat.

Autumn is loving the break from school, but don't get me wrong she is still busy..busy...busy. She has been in swimming lessons, cheer camp starts next week, and violin practice and lessons don't take summer breaks. She insisted that she wanted short hair for summer (she must be her mothers daughter). She worships the sun and anything water related so she is tanner then her mother.

BRAD...this kid is CRAZY! He keeps me on my toes from the moment he wakes up (6:00 am sharp) until he closes his beautiful eyes at night. Brad loves being outside, but he struggles to keep his clothes on in the 112 degree heat. He follows Autumn around and has NO fear when it comes to the water. I am always on edge and TOAD is always in timeout. He is just so sweet.

Drake is the sweetest thing imaginable. This kid is so patient with his mom. He loves his brother and sister, will eat anything, and is crawling like a champ. As much as I love open mouth slobber kisses I do wish that he would learn to pucker up. We are looking forward to his first birthday next month...well everyone is but me. He has grown up way to fast. However, I do believe he will stay a moma's boy for some time to come.

Pete and I are just trying to keep up, and loving the ride. We have put out boat on the lake a couple of times this summer, and we both have new road bikes so we are tying to get out on the road as much as we can. So, that's it..isn't life GRAND!
