Catching up...again

Lately it feels like all I am doing is trying to get caught up. As you can see from the frequency of my postings-I am not doing very well. It also seems like the summer is just flying by and due to some crazy things at work-I am working, instead of vacationing! I want to take more time off to play, but hopefully I can do that during the rest of the summer. I know that today is officially the 1st day of summer but since I work at UVU-summer here starts the first week of May. Once July hits-the rest of the summer usually becomes a blur! So here are the highlights of the last few weeks. *We had a streak of bad health-both Koby and I got strep throat and then Maylee got croup. Maylee had a nasty cough and I was pretty sure it was croup but the dr figured we better rule out pneumonia. It was awful! I had to hold Maylee down so that she could get x-rays done. She was crying so hard that her breathing and coughing just got worse. Thankfully she did not have pneumonia. (maybe that was a lowlight? rather than a highlight?) *Koby has decided to play football this year so he has been "conditioning" with the team four mornings a week from 6 (YES-AM!) until 8. Some days he even rides his bike there-man he is going to be so tone and muscular! *Morgan and I have been reading the Judy Moody books together and it's been really fun. Morgan loves to read just like her mom. Both Koby and Morgan got to go and spend a week with Papa and Gramma helping on the farm. They had fun but Steve, Maylee and I really missed them. Maylee even started talking to their pictures that were hanging on the wall. *Maylee is now 15 months old-still tiny as ever. This morning I weighed her and she is 19.4 lbs. and is 26 inches tall. Still a tiny little thing but so much fun and energy wrapped in that little body. She knows two signs (ASL), eat and more. She is chattering and "talking" so much, it's so fun to listen to her. *Boating day-my cousin Ben took us boating last weekend. It was so much fun-Koby, Morgan and Steve all mentioned that they would love to own a boat now. Maylee who hates being in the water took turns hanging out on shore with mom and dad. But Koby and Morgan didn't even leave the boat for four hours. *Visiting with my sister Debbie & Colt. It has been so long since we had seen them and Colt has grown so much and is so cute! He loved Morgan and followed her around for hours. I hope that we can see them again soon-rather than waiting so long. Mom and Dad also got to come for dinner and visit and then Matt & Mindy and family came over for breakfast-lot of yummy food and chatting. So much fun! *I got a new church calling. I am now in nursery-pretty convenient with Maylee not quite old enough to go to nursery but still too old to just hold still during church. The kids are really cute and I get snacks, toys and coloring time during church! *Steve is at scout camp! He really likes it but we sure miss him. Can't wait to see him when he gets home tonight! I think that's the gist of whats going on. I hope your summer is going well and it more lazy day summer than mine is!
