Hey!

Well...hello there. I haven't been here for awhile. It seems as if a lot has happened in the world since the last time I've been on the computer...which means there's lots of news articles for me to read.
While I've been gone, we've done some pretty fun stuff. The most fun thing we did was go to Bear Lake for Trevor's family reunion. We all had such a great time. I don't have all the pictures that everyone took, in fact I barely have any except for a picture of us after taking a "leisure walk" to a really old tree. The walk was super easy until I stubbed my toe on a tree root that was sticking up out of the ground. Stupid root. Or stupid me for wearing flip flops.
Bear Lake was beautiful as usual. We ate lots of yummy food and spent lots of time talking and telling stories (I just love to sit and listen to everyone). The Haslem family reunion is one of the most anticipated vacations for our kids. We can't wait for it to happen again in 2 years.
And I'm sure we'll all be able to do without sick kids next time!
(Claire, Joshy and Ali were all sick at one point!)

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...
