slump

I've been in a blogging slump this past week and I'm not sure why. So I'll just write down some of the highlights from last week.

Kelly and Bronson had their first experience with the Father's/Son's camp out. They had a really good time, and the highlight for Kelly was that he got to use our boat for the first time this season. He, along with two other boats, helped to shuttle people across the river so they could set up camp. Friday and Saturday were both in the 90's, so it was perfect boating weather!

The girls and I joined the boys the next afternoon and packed a picnic to play on the beach with some friends. We all had so much fun, finally able to enjoy the sun!! Sunday, we all paid the price with some pretty mean sunburns. We learned our lesson and have since stocked up on sunscreen!

We did have a scary moment on the beach...all the kids were splashing around in the water and all the sudden Logan comes running up and screams that Nalani is in the water. Kelly and I both ran out to the water and couldn't see her anywhere! When we finally spotted her, she was floating down the river, spinning from her back to her stomach and swallowing tons of water. Thankfully Kelly's lifeguard skills came back to him and he jumped in and got her. I'm so grateful for life jackets and will insist that my kids wear them at all times!

We were all pretty shaken up by the incident and hours later Kelly and I kept commenting on how scary it was and how frightened Nalani must've been, wondering when someone would come to save her. After church on Sunday, Bronson was chasing Nalani around the kitchen and she was laughing so hard. I made the comment of how grateful I was that we could hear Nalani's cute laugh and got teary. Logan and Kelly said they were just thinking the same thing:)

Our garden is growing! We can see the corn popping up through the ground and also radishes and beets. We are so excited to have some home-grown produce this summer. Logan takes her job of watering the garden every day very seriously and does a great job!

I enjoyed getting to spend time with friends from book club, but it was also a bummer because the stinkin' Jazz lost that night and now they are out of the playoffs! Since I can't cheer for the Jazz, I'm cheering for anyone but the Lakers! I hate that Kobe Bryant!! I think it would be pretty cool to have an old school rematch of the Lakers and the Celtics, as long as the Celtics win.

Well, those are pretty much the highlights. I'll try and be better this week about posting more. I also need to remember my camera when I go places...I've been horrible about that lately!
