A great weekend

I just spent the weekend with my older sister Kristine who I haven't in the past been on the best terms with. But this weekend was so great. We just hung out and talked, did some shopping and she took wonderful pictures of the boys. She has adopted this little boy named Mark Jackson who is 11 months old. He is such a doll. He has the cutest little face. I can't believe her dreams of becoming a mother are finally happening. I am so grateful for the ability to have children I forget what a blessing it is. I couldn't imagine the struggles of not being able to have children or struggling to get pregnant.

I have been taking Tylenol PM the last couple nights just to sleep. It's not that I can't get into a comfortable position it's that I can't shut my brain down at all. The list of things is too long and my day's are way to short. All the yard work has to wait till it cools down outside and it puts this time crunch on it. 

My tomato's are coming in great and so are my peppers but I think I have killed my strawberries or at least done something to prevent them from growing berries. I did discover that my tree out front was in fact a cherrie tree which is way exciting. This years all have worms but that doesn't stop the boys from eating them. A little protein never hurt anyone right?? 

Morgan's backpacking/four-wheeling trip in coming up next weekend and i hope he decides not to go. I hate when he is out of town. Something always seems to go wrong and I can't handle much without him by my side. He is the stronger of us two and I depend on him every moment. But I have no desire to carry my weight up a mountain even if the view is magical!  

The first is the hardest

I am so grateful it is summer! I love sending my boys outside to play. Josyah is such an outside kinda boy, where Hyrum prefers to come in and out often. Josyah loves riding his bike and discovering new things. He is so smart, he took his own training wheels off his bike. He just went to the garage found a tool that worked and took them off and just took off on two wheels. He is truly an amazing child. Hyrum is Morgan's "mini-me". He is soft hearted and loving. He is independent and plays well just with himself. He would have made a great only child. It is sad that his red hair is fading into a lighter shade but maybe this next one will have raging red hair!
