Well, I guess it has been long enough! There should be lots to write about, but nothing stands out. The summer is FLYING by. That is a good/bad thing. I enjoy not having to wake up so early every morning, but the routine of a schedule would be nice. I am excited to have all of my kids in school ALL day this year! Maybe then I can get some projects finished--I have LOTS of things to do.

My beading business has become a bit overwhelming. I didn't realize how many people would want to come and use the beads I have bought--it has ended up taking up a LOT more time than I thought. I am excited to actually be able to sit down and create! I have finally organized everything--AGAIN--and hopefully for the last time. I have even sold some bands! I hope I can sell a LOT more so I can cover my costs of buying so many beads! For those who haven't seen the interchangeable watch bands--this is what my new hobby is. Alex has had fun making some for her as well. She has inspired some of my creations! Next week we are helping her friend's 4-H group make some.
Other than beading, I am still working in Scouts. However, I guess I will now be working with the Bear's instead of the Wolf's. I am a bit disappointed as I have put a lot of work into the Wolf program. I guess it's for the best. Now I can focus on Jaydon and getting him his Bear. It has been challenging trying to work on both programs. Tomorrow will probably be my last time with the Wolf's. We are going to the firestation in Logan. Should be fun! Then next week it's off to daycamp for both the Wolf's and the Bear's.
This weekend we will be going to a family reunion somewhere near Provo. We will be camping from Friday to Saturday. The following weekend we will be traveling back down to that area for a baptism and then heading straight back to another family reunion. We thought we had another baptism the following week, but that has been changed. The week after that though, is our Ward Camp that I am in charge of. This will be my third one. I didn't make it last year because Keiera broke her arm that week. She's already had her major accident for the summer, so we should be good.
Keiera had a bike accident a little over a week ago. She had to go visit the dentist that night and he pulled her top two teeth--thank goodness they were baby teeth! She went back for a follow-up visit yesterday and he had to lazer something off the inside of her mouth. She has been very brave, but she is still crazy and goes full speed ahead. (She got her bike back yesterday.)
Skyler has been to Scout Camp, been on 10, 15, and 25 mile bike rides and will be going backpacking for three days the last week of July! Good thing he enjoys the outdoors!
I think that's about it for our family! Hopefully I will make time to keep up on th blog in the future. It's easy to put it off!

Those are so cute! Do you have any available to buy in the next few days? I'd love to come out and get one before I leave!

When do you leave? I have lots. We just got home from a Family Reunion and I've probably missed you.
