Crappy Blogger

I know, I know, I know. It has been FOREVER since I blogged last. I have been very busy this summer. If any of you have read the comments from my last post, you probably caught on that we are expecting child #2. I am due on February 19th. We will be finding out gender in about a week. I was pretty darn sick for the first 4 months, which accounts for not blogging in such a long time. It took everything I had in me just to function as a mom & human being on most days and so therefore I didn't get around to blogging. I have finally been feeling better & decided it was about time for me to get caught up. I'll start with the most recent grouping of pictures.
A week ago, we (my hubby & son & I) decided to take a drive around the Alpine Loop. This is a road that goes around my most favorite mountain! Believe it or not, but I had never driven the Alpine Loop until now. The fall colors are just starting to come into full swing and it was a beautiful day just after morning rain storm. Here are some pictures of the mountains, clouds & colors.

This picture was taken at the Timpanogos Trail head.
Pretty, EH?!
Here are some photos from the last couple of months. This picture was taken at our neighborhood 4th of July block party. It was in our front yard and everyone brought some fireworks to shoot off (the show could have lasted for at least 3-4 hrs, but we stopped it after about 2 1/2.) My hubby was a hit with his blow torch so he could light more fireworks at once.
My Little Bro got married in August. My son wanted so badly to cut the cake after watching my brother and his bride cut a piece and feed it to each other. They were kind enough to let him cut a piece of his own (with a little help from the bride).

Here he is feeding himself the HUGE piece he cut. Why use silverware, it just gets in the way!
He had such a huge mouthful and was trying to talk, it was quite funny.
My Father-in-law has 4 peach trees in the backyard that we had the privilege of harvesting. I am about peached out! I did however have to make the famous family peach desert! It is SOOOOO yummy & rich. My Aunt Molly used to make it & bring it to my Dads office when I worked there. My Grandmother also used to make it with all the peaches from Grandpas orchard when I was a kid. My son & hubby agreed that it is an AWESOME way to eat peaches!So there you have it. Not a ton of pictures, but I am finding that the further away from an event I get, the less blogg-able the pictures become. I need to stay updated on my page! Hope you enjoyed and I will try to do better with my blogging.
