not enough me

whenever i think there is not enough time to accomplish everything i want to do the next thought is: why would I want the day to be any longer? I'm pretty pooped after 17+ hours of being awake. Solution: I need several of me. One to clean, one to cook, one to do all the little projects, one to exercise, one to read scriptures, one to just be with my kids, one to be with my hubby and one to just play.

Too bad so sad--and life must go on and it's been many a month since the last post. I offer up a few excuses:
*our server crashed and we lost the latest cool pictures--why post without a picture?
*also, school and piano lessons began with a vengeance.
*also, canning, canning and more canning
*also I had two callings for awhile.
*also I played VB city league for two months. That was fun.
*also SYTYCD started. Priorities ya know.

So here is a cool picture I found floating around the pictures that were salvaged.

I sure love this. Here's why:

Besides the fact that it's near mirror image--it speaks so much to me of what life means for a two/three year old: Lazy day at the park. Sunscreen on skin, lunch in bellies. Mom: "okay, you can go play now." It's the path of fun to splash the afternoon away.

Reason #2: I miss summer

The biggest reason I love this picture: SO happy that Rob and Amy are living in Boise now. Close family is a great blessing. Kami starts squealing with excitement every time we drive around the corner on their street saying, "Amy's house! Amy's house!". Cousin in photo is her idol. Upon one meeting, this was the conversation I heard:
Kami: (with much enthusiasm) "hi Grant" (big hug) "Guess what, Grant?"
Grant: "what Kami?"
Kami: (slight pause trying to come up with something cool to say) "I have eyes."
Grant: (slightly confused, but still with a cousin smile) "Yeah--I have eyes, too."

Better watch out because I have a new batch of pictures and there just might be more frequent posts in the future.
