June June June!

This kid seriously cracks me up. He is Mr. Personality with his quirks and grins and giggles.


We went to one of my favorite parks in Denver with Rex and the boys. Aiden sure was proud that he climbed this rock all by himself!  He is so independent and is getting so big so fast!


Rex and I celebrated our 9th anniversary by staying at a Ritz-Carlton in Denver and going to see a comedy show.  He surprised me with a new camera (EEK!) and I had so much fun taking pictures with it and figuring it out.  We went to this super cute Crepe place for breakfast - side note: ComiCon was going on the same weekend we were there and so we had quite a blast finding all these random people dressed up.  In this crepe picture, can you find Waldo??




With the end of school and the start of summer came SWIMMING!!  Grandma Phillips let us use her neighborhood pool several times to the boys' delight.  We all had a blast!  I was so surprised and excited to see that I captured Sam running with his tongue out.  hahaha.  He is so gosh darn funny,.






I took the boys to the library for story time and signed them up for the summer reading program.  The boys were so excited to learn that they could find a book on ANYTHING!  So for the first time ever, I used the catalog system to find Sonic the Hedghog, Star Wars, and Scooby Doo.  The boys were so excited to read their new books in their little "fort" here (the blow-up pool drying out.)

                   
(P.S. Did you know that Star Wars is under non-fiction at the library???  Some nerd must have cataloged that one. hahaha)

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
