Samuel turned two in June. Like the lop-sided cupcake?

Frozen Yogurt pops, first and only time! ;o)All the days are melting together, literally. This heat is killing me. The month of July has been a wild one! I really look forward to the holiday this weekend. More fireworks! We had family staying here fourth of July weekend, then during the following week, the day after they left we had a little mission reunion at our home then had a friend stay with us, then more family staying here until this Friday! Basically we've had two or three days this month with no one here. The kids have had a blast. They are definitely used to having SOMETHING going on, and when there's not, they just whine. So it's been nice to have so much family and friends to visit with this month.
Sarah and Olivia start school at the end of August. It's starting to feel like we are beginning a new phase of our life--kids in school--and all the beauties and trials it brings. I'm terrified of dealing with Sarah in the REAL WORLD. As much as kindergarten can be considered the "real world!" Here we come. I am so grateful for Jonathan and the spiritual strength he is in our family. He is always ready to teach lovingly to our beautiful children the principles of the gospel that will give them strength and courage to face the trials that they will be experiencing throughout the rest of their life. I constantly feel the pressure of being a good mom and teaching the kids the things they need to know and being eternally patient. I know that if I just smile more, I find more to be grateful more and find myself being more patient and loving with my kiddos. My heart melts when they learn to play so well together and teach each other. I love to see Samuel copy everything the girls say or do. Can't wait for our newest addition to the family to join us. I only wish I knew her name. :o)
On Saturday, I was playing ward softball and was running to first base, tripped and fell (gracefully, I'm sure) and sprained my knee. It's been pretty frustrating. I had to have the girls tuck themselves into bed last night because I could not get down the stairs. It's worse than having surgery on my ankle. At least then I could crawl around. And to make matters worse, I can't take anything but Tylenol. Ugh. I hope I heal quickly!

Sounds like a great summer! So sorry to hear about your knee, that is miserable! Hope you feel better soon!
Wow sounds like you have really been busy. No wonder we don't talk to each other. We sure need to get together or something. I have been pretty busy myself and on the days I am home I am mopping my floor. ; ) Just kidding I really am not. I did make the kids mop it today however. I hope your knee gets feeling better really soon. Take care.
I have two cains in my car. I can send them up with my sister in law tomorrow. She could met you some where! Thanks for letting us stay with you. The girls are still talking about Sarah's house. I must say it was the best night sleep I have had the whole time I have been gone! Miss you.
Honestly Katie, who plays softball when they are preggers?!?! You kill me! I am glad to see a post from the Leavitt's...I was beginning to wonder if all was well with you peeps! Take it easy and enjoy the rest of summer...It goes by WAY to fast!!
Oh sad about your knee! I was going to ask next time I saw you what happened. Hope it heals soon and hope it was a fun game. I didn't play because of the prego excuse... but look at you!
