As I plan out my day of things to get done, I realize I am going, going, going from early morning hours until after the kids have gone to bed and I am struggling to keep my eyes open. And while I have thought of several blogs in my head that I could post, I have not found the time to actually 'blog' them.
Seeing my husband's latest work of art, (and also going with my son on a fieldtrip to an organic farm yesterday), makes me wish I were a farmer. Some people would disagree and say, "but then you have to wake up at the crack of dawn." Since I currently wake up at 5:00 a.m., which to me is the crack of dawn, I naturally started to compare the pros and cons of being a farmer.....okay, maybe just the pros. Instead of waking up extremely early to sit in front of a computer, typing speedily away at doctor's clinic notes, hoping to find some time for some physical exercise, I would be able to go outside for most of the day and enjoy nature with the bonus of physical exercise, a sun tan, and growing our own food. Sounds good to me. :)
With that thought in mind, click below to see Bryan's latest image he created for XanGo's Go Magazine:

Underwood Family Farms
This summer we have had a fun time going with friends different places. One of the places we have gone to is the Underwood Family Farms. We've gone to the Moorpark location twice and Somis location once and had a great time! The kids got to pick strawberries and blueberries, see goats, horses, pigs, etc., ride a little train, and go on a tractor-pulled ride. I'm always taking pictures of my kids and I'm never in the pictures, so thanks Jen for taking this one of us!
Ethan's 5th Birthday
For those of you who don't know, Disneyland is letting you go for free on your birthday this year. We decided it would be a good time to take Ethan for the first time, and also because Austin was free, since he is under the age of 3. We were hoping to get there early, but had a rough morning and didn't get there until noon, but we made up for it by staying until midnight! We had a fun time and I'll share a few pics here, but if you want to see more I post all my pictures on a site my cousin created called Louish Kids. So you can go here to check them out if you'd like: http://www.louishkids.com/4.1795.louish The night after Disneyland, Ethan was lucky to have both his grandparents over for cake and ice cream! He had a great birthday!
God Gave Us Families
I am currently serving as a primary teacher and I'm really enjoying it. I especially like Sharing Time and singing all the primary songs, maybe even more than the kids ;) Ethan is in Sharing Time as well, but he sits in front of me and so I never know if he is singing the words. Recently the Primary Presidency gave all the kids a CD with all the songs they will be singing for the Primary Program in the fall. We love listening to it and it's a great way for them to learn the words! I am pleased to report he does know the words, well most of them. I know I just posted a video of Ethan singing, but I couldn't resist this one. He is such a cutie! He's just singing the chorus here. To get him going I have to say the first word, so he starts off "......gave us families." Turn up your volume, he's singing pretty quiet. It's kind of early to tell, but I am hoping the boys get Bryan's genes for singing and not mine!
Succumbed Blogger
Well, I've succumbed to the blogging madness. I promised a couple of people before I moved that I would start a blog and now it's nine months later! I don't know how often I will be able to keep it up, but better late than never, I guess. One of the setbacks of starting a blog was where to start. I've decided to post a video of my boys singing, "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home." I guess it's really just Ethan singing with a little encouragement from Austin. Then if I feel so inclined to add things from the past, I will, AND CAN, because this is MY blog. :) Hope you enjoy!
