It's been a while

So, I haven't kept everyone in the loop of what's going on with us.  One reason is Instagram--Mom loves that thing and keeps all six of her followers in the know on there.  The other reason is texting--she can send pics to my family (who are probably the only ones reading this blog) super easy.  And because of Instagram and texting, Mom is constantly taking pics with her phone rather than the camera and forgets that she has a million pictures on her phone that I could post on the blog.  Reason three is that our lives have been a little boring lately--not a lot of picture taking going on here.  The last reason is that Mom and I both got pneumonia in September and things were a little out of kilter for a couple of weeks.  But I'm back!  And with a quick update that covers all the time I've been gone.  You can tell it's been slow around here cuz I only have thirteen pictures that tell you everything you need to know about what we've been doing for the past six weeks.

Dad found this cute little froggy friend in our backyard:

I got a new Lego space shuttle and put it together all by myself.

The city replaced the sidewalk outside our house, and in the process they managed to ruin Dad's retaining wall.  He had to rebuild the whole thing.

Last weekend we watched General Conference.  Sydney played around with our Conference Board, while I worked on more serious activities.

And do you like he Lego temple Mom and I built.  The Angel Moroni on top was all my idea.

The weather was so nice that we went to see the salmon running up the Cedar River.  Unfortunately, it was still a little early in the season and there weren't too many there. 

But that didn't stop us from trying to get a closer look. 

And Sydney absolutely loves pockets.

As you can tell, life hasn't been overly exciting around here.  We'll see what October has in store for us.
