So now that I actually have a computer that is working, I thought I'd try and update the blog, and start doing this again. Sense social technology is the only way I can stay in contact with my family, I guess I should participate :)
NO, I am not quitting facebook, its still my main squeeze. I love it, u know it, Aaron knows it, & I know it. Its my daily newspaper spiced up with a little bit of drama and entertainment. However, I do love journal-ing and you all know I'm long winded, so what a perfect place to express myself even more on topics, family events, etc.
A quick cap on the summer events... Our family was busy with dance classes, and performances all summer long it seemed like, but the 4 older girls had so much fun doing it, and Aaron & I had a TON of fun watching them perform and have fun. 3 parades, 2 talent shows & huge smiles on their faces! We did manage to squeeze in a few camping trips which are always fun and an adventure with the circus we have. We ended the summer with a fun day trip to Yuba Lake with the Monte family (Aaron's boss) & the kids had a blast! They road the tube on the boat, played in the sand, & beach water, soaked up the last of the sun, & had a great time. Then a quick day trip to Sevier Co to visit the family. I got most the day with Grandma Lloyd which as I stated before I didn't plan to spend but more then a hour or so with her, but time seemed to stand still as I was there, and before I knew it 3 hrs had gone by. I enjoyed the time I got with her, & Savanna made her smile which was great, but hated seeing her in so much pain, tough lady she is! We need to make more time to get down that way to see everyone. I feel like my family is MILES away and as much as we see each other you'd think we did live MILES away. The last of the warm weather fun we took a trip to LAGOON courtesy Lori, Grandma Sandy's friend. We had a blast! Its always a hassle getting anywhere with this crew, but once at the destination we always have fun. Derian and Ash were troopers awaiting their turn to go have fun after spending a few hours doing the "baby rides" I think dad was just as excited to go do the more exciting rides as the girls were. Aaron took his two older ones, and went & had fun on the "scary rides". Sandy & I enjoyed the 3 littler ones on the train and kiddy rides...watching their smiles and giggles was the best! As always, it ends up being a late night, but so worth it. The ride home we laughed till our stomach hurt. Releasing endorphins is good for the soul!
ON to the fall.... we shall see what it brings!
Now, I'm gonna go and mess with the lay out on this blog, and try and look all sophisticated as you all!
