This picture has nothing do with it.


Today I proved once again that I was "that" kind of mom.
The *cool mom.
Anna, Joshua and I went to the gas station to get me a Diet Dr Pepper.
(which I stopped drinking weeks ago btw~it obviously didn't stick)
Joshua rode his bike, Anna rode her scooter and I rode a scooter.
Oh yes I did.
I rode the little Razor Scooter.
And I liked it.
It was a fast way to get there but more importantly it was a fun way to get there.
The only hard part was trying to ride home using one hand while riding the scooter.
It proved a little difficult but there was no way I was letting go of my soda.
Thank heavens I don't embarrass my 3 younger children yet.
Emily on the other hand gets embarrassed by me every day (that doesn't bother me at all).
What better joy is there in life than mortifying your children?
(lots of better joy but this is a pretty good one anyway)

Trevor just laughed at me when he found out what my mode of transportation was.
Secretly, I think he was just jealous.


*cool in this case means dorky.

funny. I followed the link to "Domino" too, and I found it very interesting. Usually I don't have patience to read books about decorating: I just want to look at pictures. But maybe that's because I'm A.D.D. I think I am anyway. Also, were those hiking pics taken at Cress Creek, near Kelly Canyon? They look like it. That's our favorite trail right now because it's stroller accessible. In fact, we're going there tonight!

I love it! I think it's funny that Emily is so embarrassed by you...I can't wait until my kids get that age. I plan on taking full advantage of it! ;) Can't wait to have a few DDP with y'all!

Hey Sarah! You are too funny. That picture of your kids with their fishing poles is so cute and perfect picture of summer! I was watching the Bench's kids this morning so I didn't dare try to get to the park with all 6 kids.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
