Long time no SEE, no Speak, no HEAR, no WRITE

So I know it has been a long time since I have updated anything on our blog, and I am sorry. We have to sit outside on our front porch to get connection (yes, because we are borrowing). If Brielle is awake she has to come outside too and she always ends up running away. So I don't usually try while she is awake, and while she has been asleep I have been reading BREAKING DAWN! That is not much of an excuse...it only took 2 1/2 days to read, which makes me really sad. It also makes Adam really sad...I think he enjoyed not having me beg him to play card games with me:-) The other weeks, I have no excuse for not updating! I have wanted to but as soon as I sat outside and had time to check other things I had lost my motivation and patience with our computer and the connection.

I am here now and this is what has happened at our house in the past month...

In the middle of July we went up to Bear lake for my Erekson Family Reunion. We have this reunion every year. It is my mom's dad and all his brothers and there families. It was a lot of fun. Zed and Alise rode up with us...don't know how much they enjoyed sitting in the back with Brielle, but we had fun conversations with them. Up at Bear lake we went to the beach and ate good food and played with all our relatives. Zed brought his potato gun and we were all watching him shoot potatoes of our deck, when the boys all spotted a deer and started aiming for it. I don't think any of us actually thought he would get it so we didn't stop him, he even admitted that he didn't think he would get it. Then "splat" hit the deer right between the eyes and the deer bucked and ran off a few feet. It was crazy, and of course sad. But the deer really seemed fine other than the fact that he didn't run that far away.

Adam ended up getting a Monterro in Logan for dirt cheap so that we could have second car. So him, Alise, and Zed rode back down to Cedar together and Brielle and I stayed in Logan for a few extra days. Adam loves his new rig...he takes it four wheeling all the time now. Its sort of his new hobbie here since he can't go boogie boarding. There is always mud underneath it in our parking lot. I got my haircut from my friend Tay (which has been almost a year since I had gotten a real trim). She just had a baby in May so I got to play with her. It was the 24th of July, so we went to the North Logan City parade and went swimming a couple times and the Sports Academy pool. Brielle even taught herself how to float with her arm floaties. She is pretty good, but a little too brave for me. I have to constantly watch her. She is too much of a dare devil.

I was able to convince my brother and my mom to come down and visit us...I had it all planned out. Colton was going to come with me and help with Brielle and then my mom would have to come get him to bring him home. It worked exactly as I planned and Brielle was the best she has ever been on that drive. It was wonderful. Colton only ended up staying at our house for one night and I can't blame him. Him and I went to Batman together...what a great show. Adam took him four wheeling and I think he even let Colton drive. While they were out I took Brielle to Walmart to look around a get a few groceries. I had picked out a couple new PJ's for her and put them on her lap...when all of the sudden she puked all over herself, the cart, my hands, the new pj's, and the floor. It was the most awful smell...I hurried and told a worker, called Adam told him to come help asap and ran to the bathroom to get rid of the smell. Adam and Colton showed up and could smell us from a mile away...Brielle seemed ok (she always takes it like a big girl) so we continued shopping. Then Adam had this brilliant idea to give her a fruit snack. She put it in her mouth, pulled it out, and puked in Adams hands!!!! I don't know what he was thinking. So I took her home and put her in the bath. She ended up throwing up 3 more times that night and then she was better. When my mom came down we showed her around, and she babysat while Adam and I went to see X-files. On Saturday we went down to St. George and went swimming at the Washington rec center. The best pool ever. Then spent the day with my fam and stayed the night at my sisters.

This week I started a play group. I was sick of being stuck at home with no friends, so I built up the motivation and asked some girls from the ward to come over. It was a lot of fun and we are going to keep doing it. I also got BREAKING DAWN on Monday night and had it read by Wednesday night. I didn't even stay up late. It was too easy of a book. I wanted it to last a couple weeks. But I Loved it and I won't say anything else about it just in case you haven't read it yet. We had dinner with our neighbors a couple times and went to Chilis with them last night. It was a lot of fun. There little girl learned how to make herself throw up...and she gagged herself twice. Reminded me of Brielle, minus the white from the curdled milk and no smell. Thank goodness.

So that is what we have been up to. Nothing too exciting. Here are some pictures from this month...my mom has the ones from Bear lake so as soon as she sends me some I will post them as well.
