The last couple of weeks have been very representative of what summer 2008 has been like....busy. It doesn't seem like I get very much done in the summer months...only what is REALLY needed to be done, because there is always somewhere to go or something to do outside that seems much more exciting and enticing. Last week we made a quick trip up to my brother Spencer's house to go to the dentist and then spend some time with his wife Leigh and their baby Spence. The kids had a great time and walked away from the dentist office cavity free. I however was not as fortunate. For the first time in my life I left the dentist office with two cavities and two fillings...I blame it on the fact that the city we now live in, Oxford, does not add fluoride to their water. One of the perks of having your brother as your dentist is that he worked me into his schedule so that I could have my fillings done the same day the cavities were found. He talked me into having the teeth filled without any numbing....not quite as bad as it sounds, but I think next time I will give the numbing a try.
After returning from our visit to the dentist, the rest of the week was a blur of activities. I am pretty sure the activities included picking blueberries, attending the library functions, going to the mall, swimming, swimming and more swimming (that is everyone except Kendal...she has decided that it is too much of a hastle to cover her cast to swim so she has forgone swimming to watching her new favorite movie "Underdog" while the rest of us swim). Trey has really started to enjoy the water...his new favorite thing to do is "CANNONBALLS". It is so cute as he jumps in he yells "CANNONBALL" in his cute little voice. This last weekend my parents, my Uncle Kent and Aunt Vicki, and my Uncle Ronan came down to jet ski. We had a great day at the lake and it was fun to see my uncles and aunt that I don't get to see very often. It is also fun for my kids to see that I have cool Uncles and Aunts too.

Today we are headed to spend a couple of more days with Spencer, Leigh and baby Spence. The kids are excited for one more summer road trip! I can't believe Bayley starts school next Thursday. She is very excited, she got the teacher she wanted, so fortunately I think she will be ready when Thursday roles around. Kendal, Trey and I will miss having her around, especially since our summer isn't quite over...I'm not quite ready to get back being REAL productive as of yet!

Trey weened himself of a pacifier at 10 months, but yesterday morning I walked into his bedroom to find him asleep with an old pacifier in his mouth....I think it was one I kept around for Kendal to use with her babies. Let's just say that pacifier has magically disappeared!
