I'm pretty sure it was yesterday that I wrote here, but apparently it's been a week! We had a fun weekend. We had made a goal a couple of months ago that we wanted to start hiking more, since our older kids are up to the task. So Saturday we loaded us all up and drove out to Spanish Fork and went up the canyon. We were headed for a hike up to some hot pots, but as we got closer we realized two things. One we didn't gas up and it was going to be close getting home without being stranded. The second thing was as we got closer we saw the cars were lining the road to the hike, so apparently some big group was up hiking. We turned around and searched for a closer spot. What we found was a horse trail that climbed an awfully big hill. I, who thought I was in better shape, barely made it up the hill with the snacks. Andy hauling Oliver was barely breathing hard. And Morgan was still running around! That was the end of our hike, and boy was it fun! That took up most of our day, but it was fun to get out and be with my family.

So apparently blogging is turning out to be like my journal. I commit to writing in it and do so for a few nights, and then months go by without a single entry! I guess I feel like my days are pretty much the same-o, same-o so not much to write about. The kids are all growing and doing well. Oliver's vocabulary is growing all the time, and today when going down for a nap he said, "night night shoe", see how impressive he is!! The other kids are winding down for the school year, which means I'd better start figuring out some stuff for the summer, or we will all go crazy together (especially that all my partners in crime are gone this summer!). This is also our second Christmas time with all the May birthdays and Mother's Day to boot!! Caleb's birthday is on Wendesday and that is what all the focus is on at this point. I can't believe he is turning eight, you would have thought we would survive this long! We're sure proud of him and the young man he is turning out to be. Anyway we are still here, just living life a day at a time I guess!
