It's been a hard week, I've had Robby home from school all week with some sort of infection in his mouth. He has big open sores on his lips and inside his mouth. He was crying a lot everytime the ointment would wear off, and then we would re-apply. One day I was taking care of Miles, Rob was crying and I looked around the house and realized I was losing the battle of motherhood. I got Miles to sleep and sat down on the couch, Robby came to me with books that I didn't want to read, I told him to wait ten minutes. I don't think I slept more than 2 hours at a time last week. He said, "Mom, whats wrong? I said, "nothing, sometimes it's just hard being a mom." He relied with, "well Mom, sometimes it's hard being human, but I do it everyday." A lot of the humor in that conversation was his tone of voice. Truth be told, it was nice to have him home in the afternoons when Miles is usually sleeping. He is much better now, and hopefully will go back to school on Monday. He is sad, he missed his first field trip to a pumpkin patch, he misses his teacher and his friends.

Robby is growing up, and it's making my slightly, a lot sick to my stomach. The way I can tell, he isn't saying those funny, witty things as often, or even asking nearly as many questions as he was even 6 months ago.

Labels: SUMMER
I am taking the kids and going to Southern California tomorrow. We are going to visit Ryan and Flora's family. It doesn't really seem like our summer is complete with out a few beach trips with Ryan's family. Tom has to work 20 out the next 24 days. It sounds horrible, but I think he's only worked a few days the entire month of July. It has been so nice to have him around so much. Kind of like it use to be when he worked from our basement.
Anyway, I am hoping to survive the trip, driving is really the only thing I am worried about. I will post pictures and get caught up when we get back.

Robby still in his cast
I love this picture of Miles
My little Buggy
These are pictures from a Sunday we went to visit Tom on one of his long work weeks. Starvation Lake is close by his office. It is absolutely beautiful, it reminds me a mini-lake Powell, blue water, red sand, red rocks and lots of sage. This was a really nice Sunday afternoon.
Next, the 4th of July is my dad's favorite holiday. I love this holiday as well, it's hard not being raised by a father who is the most patriotic person I know. I love how much my father has made this holiday a holiday my whole family enjoys. We start each year early, I mean EARLY, we got up this year at 6:15 and went to Provo to watch about 30-30 hot air balloons take off. This is an absolute treasure as a parent to see the delight and awe of a young child Miles age watch. The first picture of Miles is him having that same thrill and amazement at the fireworks, the next is that same open mouth wonderment at the balloons. There is nothing better than a holiday that brings family together in celebration of and honoring great events.
Good food, entertainment, and great company. It was a wonderful day.

I don't have time to write much now, but I wanted to get these pictures from our vacation to Northern Califronia up. We tagged along our friends Vaughn, Carrie and Emily and their 2 dogs. They rented an RV and riding in the RV was a definite highlight of the vacation for the kids. We camped for 3 nights in Klamath California. We visited beautiful beaches, and saw amazing stretches of Redwood forest. When I asked the kids what they liked the most, roasting marshmallows was the favorite activity. We had a great time. Camping is about 3 times the amount of work than other vacations, so we won't be doing it again for a while, but it was worth it, I love camping, and the kids had a great time.
