Finally Another Post

Here is a quick update of the past six weeks. I have been horrible about posting to the blog, which seems to be fizzling out. I don't want the blog to go away. I have loved updating everyone who reads about what we do as a family. After the Great Hiatus, it seems not too many come back to read. That coupled with me photographing less then the blog started to fizzle. So if you're out there and you read this let me know. Be like the Whos in Who-ville in Horton Hears a Who and make yourselves heard so this very small blog will not have to die.

On to this post.

We went to the county fair in May. Mainly we went to see the Demolition Derby but we enjoyed a few other things while there, like cotton candy.

The kids rode one ride. This sort of trap-your-kid-in-a-hamster-ball-and-let-them-run-on-water type of ride.

They loved it.

The Demolition Derby was fun. There were three rounds in the Derby and after each one Carley excitedly asked "is there another one!?"

The only woman driver won the Derby. You go, girl!

Father's Day was simple and quiet. It was during Walt's work week so we had our barbeque "dinner" at noon so he could get to sleep.

Carley loves all holidays. She helped me make the Super Dad sign in the photo above this one. She also modeled three outfits to see which one her dad wanted her to wear on his day. Man, I love her.

Josh and Carley walked in a parade with their Tae Kwon Do school.

They handed out fliers with coupons for free classes.

The kids and I made an overnight trip to Red Bluff to visit family. Leyton, my nephew, had a sleep over at my dad's house with us.

Leyton showed the kids how to do flips off the diving board into the pool.

Josh was so nervous that he'd do a back flop. Sure enough, his second attempt ended in a back flop and it stung! That was enough for him for now.

We planted a garden this year but it isn't as productive as the first garden we grew. Carley and I started these flowers from seed. I can now cross another item off my Life List: #45 grow flowers from seed to bloom

I love the blog and don't want it to go away. I'll even take a summary post every six months!
