Bad blogger. Bad.
Me. I've been a very bad blogger. I do have an excuse, however. Well, actually, I have several excuses.
Excuse 1: August has been extremely busy. We were out of town for a total of 9 days this month, I went back to work a few days a week 2 weeks ago, back full time this week, Jon preached out of town, we had a church service at the fair, I had a couple of different planning meetings, and somewhere in there we still hung out with friends. It's been a whirlwind of a month.
Excuse 2: I lost my camera cord, so I couldn't upload any pictures that I took on our adventures. The cord has been found now, so expect some pictures some time this weekend.
Excuse 3: To add insult to injury, the camera belonging to the aforementioned cord decided to finally die after threatening to for the last year and a half. Some new friends of ours (who we hope will be friends for a long time to come!) blessed us with a very gently used camera that they don't use any more, which is way nicer than the one that just kicked it.
Excuse 4: I mentioned that I went back to work, right?
And speaking of work....
This fall I will not be subbing. I've been offered a half time librarian job at the school I've been at for the last two years, along with a half time office position. It's the perfect combination for me, and I'm super excited!! I'm planning a shopping trip this weekend to supplement my work wardrobe. :)
I think that's all for now. I'm going to try to catch up on pictures, updates and everything this weekend, and the kids go back to school on Monday. So I'll probably end up waxing nostalgic in there somewhere too. It's what I do.
'Til we meet again,
Becca

August...
Today is August 1st. This means that school starts in less than a month. It means school shopping and making sure we have everything ready for the first day. It means that our summer life of relaxation and days filled with whatever we want to fill them with are almost over. Summer's last hurrah is just around the corner, so we'll enjoy each of our last days of summer to the fullest!! These last few weeks will be busy!

busy, busy, busy
Oh, my, the last couple of weeks have gone by in a blur! We had Bethany's birthday, which I already posted pics of, we had the church's 32nd anniversary, which we celebrated by having a big celebration at Caras Park, complete with a community carnival! It was awesome! Jon and I celebrated our 13th anniversary, the kids went camping with Grampa, came home for a day, and then Gabe left for Scout camp. He'll be gone for 9 days!! Yikes. I'm already missing him and can't believe that my boy can really survive without me for 9 whole days! (The fact that I left him to go to England for longer than that last summer is completely irrelevant!)
Today we had a great time playing with my sister and her kids visiting from Oregon. Papa treated us to lunch, an afternoon at Splash, and ice cream afterwards! It's always so fun to see our kids hanging out. They are the perfect ages to play with each other. I always find myself wishing they lived closer, so that the kids could hang out more often than once a year, but I guess I will just have to be content with how things are, for now. We are headed their way in a week and a half, though, so we'll hit twice this year! Of course, I forgot my camera, so I have no pics to show, unless Papa actually uploads his and emails them to me!!
Well, that's all for now. We've got a busy couple of weeks ahead of us. I have another job interview on Wednesday, and am still waiting to hear on another one. We go to Oregon, then we have Fair Week (and the food!!!) and then two weeks until school starts for the kids! Whew, where, oh where did my summer go?

aahhhh...summer!
We (the kids and I) spent a wonderfully relaxing afternoon playing at a local pond. I didn't take the camera, so I have no pics to share, but we played in the water, we laid in the sun, we snacked on Cheez-its and Oreos. Summer bliss.
We are headed into a busy weekend, with Bethany's birthday coming up, and then Jon and my anniversary, but it should be fun. My Dad is taking the kids camping starting Monday for a few days, so Jon and I will have free babysitting for our date night for our anniversary!! (Woohoo!!)
Things have been a little hectic around here lately, even though it's summer, with Gabe camping with the Scouts, Jon taking on more responsibility at the church, me with applications and interviews (I had one this morning!!) and painting the kitchen cabinets (ugh), and the girls with playdates, so it was especially nice today to spend the entire afternoon sitting in the sun, enjoying a good book and good friends, and remembering why we live where we live.
