Happy Summer!!!

In Blanding it feels like every other week is summer. One week is glorious, warm, and sunny, and the next is windy, or worse -- snowing! Yes it snowed in June in the middle of our Stake's Girls Camp, and the girls had to be shuttled off the mountain with 4-wheel drives. We are enjoying summer vacation. Timothy likes to be outside playing in the gravel in our backyard. I know it is weird, we have all this great lawn, and he speed crawls to the gravel patch. He is learning to walk, Mom witnessed him taking 3 steps this morning! Thomas is finally learning to swim, and learning not to cry so much with his DAILY injuries (he knows where the band-aids are, so we're covered). Eva is taking a cooking class once a week and just loving it! After a few week break, she will be back to piano lessons next week, and she is reading lots of good books. Clay's sister Brenda had her baby on Monday his name is Nicholas and he is doing great. Brenda is dealing with the aftermath of an emergency C-section because after 2 hours of pushing Nicholas still was not coming. I have had her other kids (except Darin who is 14 and too cool to stay at my house) since Thursday so that she can get some rest (Bud had them the first part of the week).
