No rest for the weary

So I full realize that sometimes I stink at keeping our blog up-to-date. I think it's just a part of who I am. I'm a little ADD and have a hard time sticking to things. I have many unfinished projects. But I'd like to blame my resent inability to post anything on my crazy-busy life. Here's a brief list of what we've been up to for the last month and a half-

-Anna had 8th grade graduation (that's right- she'll be in high school next year. yikes!)
-Ellie had a school talent show (she played chopsticks on the piano with a friend)
-School ended (mixed feelings with this one)
-Ellie and Tyler had soccer
-Tyler had T-ball
-We finally had Tyler's friend birthday party (what were we thinking inviting 10 boys)
-I taught Relief Society
-We had a birthday party for my Mom at our house (the big 60)
-My sister from TX came to stay for a few days with her little girl
-I took said sister to the SLC temple and out to lunch
-We cut up all the grass on the south side of our house
-I built 6 garden boxes (and yes, I actually finished them)
-I installed, filled, and planted my 6 new garden boxes (with lots of help from friends!)
-I moved sprinkler heads and put down a lot of weed barrier
-We had a patio poured (i know we didn't do any of the work for it, but it still counts)
-I've had a cold for a month (why?)
-Bryan went out of town a few times for work (Atlanta, Seattle, and Seattle again)

And all of that is on top of the normal every day mom things I have to do too. I haven't gotten myself organized for the summer yet. Our schedules are really messed up still. I'm hoping now that my big projects are almost finished I'll be a little more organized. We'll see though- that might just be wishful thinking!

*I can't find my camera right now- but when I do I'll update this with some pictures!
