I have so many fairly valid excuses for not blogging (the play, Utah trip, two weddings-one being my brothers, the play again, guests staying at our house), but still I have been fairly pathetic.

Sorry I have not written in forever. Does anybody even read this anymore? We were really busy in March with the play, moving to a new house, we did not have internet for three weeks, plus some birthdays, Easter, and some small trips. We've been busy!

Well, I'm back so expect some more frequent posting!

Weekly Photos

I am waaaaaaay behind on these. I like to do them, mostly to keep track of photos for my photo book and to encourage myself to take more pictures. So, I am back to doing these. Here is 2 months worth of weekly photos:

Should have been posted July 20th:

I did not take very many pictures this week and I remember that Alice was being difficult this day and just wanted to sleep with me and I was a bit tired and frustrated, but also I love to snuggle her. Motherhood feels like that often, it is hard and tiring and also rewarding, fun and full of love all at the same time.

Elanor flying a kite down the street.

{I did not take any pictures this week! This is from Tyler's phone. Whoops.}

Should have been posted on August 3rd:

We did a family vacation since Ian got back from his mission. We tried to get a picture of all three grandchildren, but it did not quite work out. I still think this picture is pretty funny!

We made it to Oregon!

Should have been posted on August 31st:

 Jessica and Cedric came to Oregon to be in and help with the play, "MacBeth" that my mom was directing. We had so much fun with them!

Should have been posted on September 7th:

 Alice's blessing day.

We all had parts in the play "MacBeth".  I was Lady MacDuff , Tyler was King Duncan, Jessica was the Porter/Doctor/Murderer, Ian was Angus/Siward and Elanor was Young MacDuff child/Apparition 2. It was fun to be in a play again, even if it was just a small part. Elanor loved it and had quite a few lines for someone her age and did awesome!

Should have been posted on September 14th:

 Beach day on Labor Day!

I'm all caught up and I will try not to let that happen again!

Exploring in the forest.

We are in Oregon again and super busy with the play. My mom is a director and I have often done the choreography for her plays (which I love doing). My mom is doing the play Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and of course Elanor really wanted to be in it. Elanor has a variety of parts, a village child, a squirrel in the nut room, and the narrator reads the book to a little girl played by Elanor as well. Elanor has had so much fun being in the play. She loves watching all the bigger kids act and knows almost every song by heart. She is constantly singing and acting out scenes from the play. I am glad she loves it so much! The only drawback is that since we are not moved up to Portland yet, Tyler is still in Utah. We miss him so much! He will drive up here to see the show and then we will all drive back to Utah together. I will then have a baby within the next three weeks after that!

If you are in the Portland, OR area, you should seriously consider coming to the play, especially if you have kids! It will be a really fun show. Here is the poster (drawn by my sister), with all the info:
