The Trials of a Busy Mom
Happy Father’s Day to all the great fathers in our lives:
My Dad, who is currently a missionary in Palmyra, New York with my mom.
Ryan’s Dad, who is currently in Spanish Fork with Ryan’s mom taking care of three of their grandkids for the weekend.
And Ryan, who is a great husband and a wonderful Father. Happy Fathers day to all the wonderful Fathers out there!

You never know how much I really love you
You’ll never know how much I really care
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I’m in love with you, oo
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I’m in love with you, oo
I’ve known a secret for a week or two
Nobody knows just we two
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I’m in love with you, oo, oo
Isn’t that a fun song? I think so. It’s nice, it’s light, and it’s got a sweet message. I like it. Go Beatles!
I took the kids to the park today. Actually two. First, we went to the park on the neighborhood schedule (I made up a summer fun calendar with a different park each week on Wednesdays, and field trips on Thursdays because the neighborhood moms thought it would be good to have some suggestions printed up so we can meet and have fun), but no one was there. Plus, it turned out to not be the greatest park for little kids. So, after playing there for 15 minutes, we left there and took Natalie to her art class in American Fork, and after dropping her off, went to the city park in AF.
We had lots of fun. The kids climbed and slid, ate their lunchables and had a great time. Then, after about an hour, it was time to pick Natalie up from art class. Now they are tired and worn out. If I can just get John to have a nap….
I was complaining about how hard this dumb blog was to format and it didn’t look right when I put stuff in, and where were the spaces that I thought I was putting in, so Ryan (the king of all things technical and geeky) found a new format for me to blog in. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure it out without constant help from the instructor!
I sent Cole away to a week long camp this morning. EEK! He can’t possibly be old enough for camp, can he? I’m more than a little wary about him being away from home for 5 days, although deep down I know he’ll be ok. I guess it’s just learning to let him step out and be his own person that’s a bit hard (harder on Mommy than on anyone else). Gone are the days when I can tell him what to wear, or even who his friends should be (although I can and will still make suggestions). He’s a good kid and I’m very proud of how he’s growing up. And while he’s gone, I’m going to clean out his room–wish me luck with that. I could use Melinda’s purging and organizational skills to help me make a livable space out of a cluttered cave.
