I think I'm back...

Okay guys, I think I am going to try and come back and be a blogger again! I hate that I have slacked and I told myself I was going to be so good about it this summer because I had nothing to worry about...the summer is more than half over and I have failed miserably...school is starting in a month! AH! I have tons of catching up to do! Anyway, I will admit my biggest reason for not blogging is because I got The Sims 3...yep, I'm not even gonna lie about it. I'm hopelessly addicted to that freaking game. It's pitiful. I rush to get the boys into bed and then stay up late into the night playing to my little hearts content. And yes, I know I'm a dork. :) Anyway, here is to a fresh start right?

What have I been up to you wonder? Well, as for me...not too much really. As I already confessed, I have been playing The Sims. I have also been reading tons. I love to read...right now I am going through and reading all of Jodi Piccoult's books. I love her! I gave a talk in church on Sunday on adversity. I was dreading it. DREADING! I HATE, absolutely HATE, giving talks. With a passion. I get up there and blubber and feel like an IDIOT. I was trying awfully hard to avoid Logan (the 1st counselor in the bishopric). He had asked me one time about a month ago and I said no. But then he started to ask me again last week. I ignored his phone calls and dodged him when I saw him, but once he started calling my cell phone, house phone, parents phones, and then started texting me, I knew I wasn't getting out of it. Anyway, I would say it went pretty well. Before I got up to speak I was a sweating wreck. Not to mention that the AC in the church building wasn't working. Before I even started into my talk, I was CRYING. Here's how it went: "Good morning brothers and sisters...choking and blubbering began..." Oh well. I was able to pull myself back together and kept the tears in for the rest of my talk until I bore my testimony. It was such a relief to sit back down and have that over with! WHEW! Anyway, I have been teaching swim lessons and have really enjoyed that. I have also made some new friends here in Tulsa and have had fun spending time with them. We spent two weeks in Utah and had a great time with family.

Chase has been enjoying swimming, swimming, and more swimming. He especially loves when we go to Big Splash. We have had a lot of fun this summer. Just now as I was feeding Davis, Chase was in his own world playing with one of his little robot toys. I was listening to what he was saying because he was being so darn cute. Here's how it went in his little raspy robot voice: "I am a wo-bot and no one can kill me. My name is wotten milk. No one can kill me. I am a vavenger (The Avengers is a super hero show that he got to check out from he movie store and is totally into...) I said I am a vavenger!" then he walked out of my earshot. Haha...I am a robot named rotton milk?! Where did he hear that from? What a goob. :)

Davis is now 9 months old. I. CANNOT. BELIEVE. IT! He has 6 teeth...4 top and 2 bottom. He is a little "pip-squeak" is what we call him. He has enough chubs, but definitely isn't a chubby chubby baby. His eyes are still blue as can be and his hair just keeps getting lighter! He started crawling about a month ago and he does the "peg leg" crawl where he is on one knee and then uses his other foot. He also pulls himself up on everything and will sometimes let go and stand by himself. When he wants to be picked up or needs to be fed he crawls around and says "maammaaammmaaaammaaa" or "nuuunnnuuunnuuuuu." So sweet. :) He is a fast little crawler and is oh so lovable. He loves to swim...he gets so excited and splashes like crazy once he is in the water. He loves the wave pool at Big Splash. Tubby time is a favorite time of his too. He gets so excited and does a little jumping when he is standing. Too cute!

All in all, we are doing well and are having a great summer! Pictures and videos coming soon! :)
