I was realizing that all photos taken of myself lately feature me sporting a baseball cap. After looking at these photos I'm thinking I should stick to the baseball cap. What do you think?
Notice that Minnie has reached my height. By next week, she'll probably be taller than me.
Here's one of the temple. So beautiful. And it was a gorgeous day!
YW has been keeping me busy, busy, busy lately. I spent 2 1/2 long, solid days putting together the Girl's Camp Photo DVD, which was shown last week for our YW activity. It caused me just a little bit of trauma. O.K., it would be more accurate to say that one of my kids caused me just a little bit of trauma during the production process. I would post the slide show so you could see what was dominating my time last week, but it is 43 minutes long--so probably too large a file to load--and I'm sure if you weren't at Girl's Camp with us you don't care about it anyway. If you were at Girl's Camp with us, you have your own copy so you don't need to watch it here. I also taught the YW lesson last week and I am teaching again this week. Yesterday we went on a tour of the Beehive House in Salt Lake City for our activity. We have some other big activities coming up. It's fun but keeps me hopping (and I have no time for blogging!)
Niles is headed to Twin Falls, ID today--for his second time in two weeks. He invited me to go along and I was hoping to take him up on it, but, alas, no one to stay with the kids. I dislike it when he's gone! Here are a few of the great things that he has been doing the last few months (in addition to going to work every day and running in 5K races and helping fold laundry and iron clothes and about a million other little things that I'm forgetting right now):
He installed this ceiling fan in our bedroom so it is nice and cool for summer nights.
He pounds the ribar posts into the ground with a sledge hammer so we can put up flags on the holidays (one of my YW responsibilities.)
He built these planter boxes, filled them with dirt, planted seeds, watered and cared for them so that now we are getting this:
Yummy fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers--that he picked and washed for us to eat. I can take absolutely zero credit for any of this produce--he did it all.
What a great guy! I think you will all have to agree that he is quite wonderful.

In our ward, they usually don't have any YM/YW activities in August--or at least the last 2weeks of August. You could try to make a case for that! You look fine in the photos--why do you think you need a baseball cap? I'm impressed with Nate's industriousness! My little garden grew superb weeds this year.(2+ feet tall; no exaggeration!)
YW is such a busy calling. I can't believe they have you doing the flags. That has always been a job for the scouts in our wards. Your vegetables look great. I'm so jealous, I really want a garden.
Wow, your harvest looks better than mine. Awewsome! I forgot to go to Oquirrh Mt. open house with the kids till it was too late. I'm sad but they could probably care less.
