I just really liked this picture of Samantha and Taylee. They really like each other, don't they?
So, it's 2:17 am. I should be in bed sleeping. Rohne will probably be awake by 7:00, and I'm going to hate myself in the morning. But, I can't sleep. Rohne and I caught yet another summer cold, and he has been up coughing. I got up to rub some eucalyptus oil on his chest to try to calm him, and now I can't seem to shut my mind off. So, I thought maybe if I recorded some things, my mind would behave, and go back to sleep.
1- It was our 8 year anniversary last week, and I really should have done a post about it. I mean, everyone does, right? But, I wanted to make it all cutesy, and I found out our printer was broken, so I couldn't scan any pictures. Anyways, I wouldn't say it has been a perfect 8. We have had our bumps in the road, but each bruise has made us stronger. We still love each other, and that's one of the greatest things ever.
2- On Saturday, we went out on a boat with some of our friends. These friends are all great people, but their lives are so different from ours. They aren't members of the church, and their lifestyle, and habits are so hard for me to grasp. I'm so thankful for the gospel. We will continue to try to be good examples for them.
3- Our Young Women's President is finally home after being out of the country for 6 weeks. I was so over joyed when I saw her in church today, I almost cried. I am amazed at what she does. I hope I don't get called to do her job, like Natali did. It's really a lot of work, and she does it beautifully.
4- My mom and my sister are in Idaho before going to our Family Reunion at the Gorge next weekend. I wish I could be there. Not just for the reunion, but to be with my sisters. I love having Whitney here, but I just wish we could all be together. I miss them.
5- I started training this week for my half marathon again. I really let myself go, and it hasn't been fun trying to build it up again. But, I know it will get easier as time goes on. I wish I had someone to run it with, but it seems like everyone I know is either pregnant, wanting to be, or nursing a baby. What's wrong with these people? If you are interested in running 13.1 miles the end of November, let me know.
6- Taylee really and truly has a tan line. I never thought it possible, and I know Holly is officially gasping right now. I would show a picture of it, but it's most noticeable when I take off all of her clothes. Her little bum is so white, and you can see right where she has been wearing her swimming suit. I slather sunscreen on her, just not enough I guess. It is really cute though. I guess it is all the water sports we, or should I say, they, meaning my children, have been participating in. When Taylee's not really swimming, she's pretending to be swimming in our front room. She lives in her swim suit. I remember wearing my suit all summer long when I was a girl, and all we had to swim in was our gross pond. (Can you really believe we swam in that thing? It was so disgusting. I'm surprised we all didn't get eColi or something.)
7- I'm sorry all my posts are just about my kids, and all the pictures are of them. There's not much more to my life right now. I know that my family never gets tired of seeing pictures of them, so I just keep on posting. And, if you are tired of it, then too bad!!!! (Just kidding, I really think I'm tired now.)
8- Here's me signing off, but I just want to say how proud I am of my brother. He is such a great guy, and he has truly climbed one of the roughest mountains in his life, and come up victorious. My heart is so filled with the spirit, and I feel so much joy! What a great, great day. I can't wait to see him soon, and see the light of Christ that I know is shining so brightly in his eyes.

OH, I hate it when you can't sleep because of all the million things going on in your head! I've been having a lot of those nights lately. Sorry you and Rhone are sick right now. Hopefully things are better today:) Cute picture of the girls! They sure do love eachother! You'll have to fill me in on your last comment about your brother...Ok, enough rambling! See ya!
I can't believe we swam in that pong either. Gross, gross. We would come out with leaches on our legs and we still would go and swim in it. What in the world were we thinking. But, we caught some pretty awesome frogs in our days didn't we. I'm sorry that you have a cold. yuck!
I think your posts are great and I am gasping about Tay. I bet she looks adorable. The pond WAS incredibly gross but we thought it was great. I like to hear your thoughts even though I talk to you often. I sure miss you too. Bryan is amazing!!
