How Do You Keep Up?

I don't know how you bloggers do it? It is almost all I can do to take the pictures in the first place. Let alone scrapbook them, and then blogg about them on top of it! So this is us since June.
This is Lydia and I playing doggie bone.

My sister Tierney came out to visit.

This is my rear view crew. With 5 kids now that my brother Dalton has come to stay for a while, This van is bursting at the seams.

Dalton was stung by a wasp. OUCH. And we heard about every painful day!
Aly was bit by a dog the very same day as Daltons wasp sting. Aly was trying to play ninja with a dog at a friends house, the dog was taken by surprise and whipped around and got her top lip. Luckily it only broke the skin in one place and bruised the others. The dog had all its shots so she should be ok in a few days.

This is us trying to get a tick off of Alys head when we went to Deer Creek. Just for your information, do not try to suffocate the tick like we did. All it does is kill the thing, and then you worry about it backwashing into the bite area. You are supposed to just get some tweezers and pinch by the head and pull the sucker off. And it takes some pulling. Russ said that the Doctor pulled up Aly's scalp about a half inch before it finally came off.
This is the actual tick. Tyler has an Eyeclops that you can look at things on the tv with. That chunk of white stuff in the ticks mouth is Aly's scalp. Even after the thing was dead it would not let go and the skin ripped off when the doctor pulled the tick off. Totally Yucky! Wear your bug spray!

This is Tyler and Lydia on Puff at Chuck E Cheese

Here the kids are at the Eccles Dino park in Ogden. They could care less about the dinos, they just like to feed the fish there!

Lydia loves watermellon.

We are on a hike to a waterfall.

This is Dalton and Casey going thru the waterfall.

Wow, that tick is gross. Glad it's out.

Hey, I have your disks, I just keep forgetting to mail them out to you. But at least I have them, right?

Ewww that tick picture is beyond gross! I'm so glad you blogged. I look all the time. You are too busy having fun. I'm usually the one behind the camera. I blog at nap time or whenever it's quiet. (yes, quiet)

For RS the hiking group went on that same waterfall hike.
That tick is nasty.
Lydia is so cute eating watermelon. And this is my scrapbooking. 1-because it is free2-you can see others scrapbooks too and 3-I am a messy scrapbooker and I have to lay out everything that I onw, then think, then maybe I will actually put a page together. Then I have to clean up. Besides I NEVER print pictures. I have probably 8,000 pictures since Madilyn was born and hae only 30 of then printed. That is the curse of digital cameras. Girls night Aug 26 at my house, hope you can come.
